Creative Europe to be approved on the November 5

Silvia Costa, the Italian MEP in charge of Creative Europe (read the article and Xavier Troussard’s interview), announced that the CULT Committee of the European Parliament will finally approve the programme November 5.

The annual working programme is currently being defined by the parliamentary commission and by an advisory committee - composed of representatives from the member states, hoping to be able to publish the firsts calls for proposal in December in order to ensure a certain continuity to the supporting initiative for the cultural and audio-visual sector. The delay of the negotiations had indeed worried the stakeholders, who believed that an interruption of the funding was likely to occur, as it had been the case for Culture 2007.

The final version of the programme, with all the amendments that the parliamentary committee had already proposed in January this year, will then be put to a vote in the Parliament plenary session in Strasbourg on November 19 or 20.

We should then soon be able to see whether the programme will be a good support for the cultural and audio-visual sectors for the forthcoming seven years in spite of the cuts to the budget made in February by the Council, knowing that thanks to the flexibility clause, approved during the budget negotiations 2014-2020, a mid-term budget review is possible.
