Proposal for a regulation Recital 1 (1) The Treaty aims at an ever closer union among the peoples of Europe and confers on the Union the task, inter alia, of contributing to the flowering of cultures of Member States, while respecting their national and regional diversity and at the same time ensuring that the conditions necessary for the competitiveness of the Union's industry exist. In this respect, the Union, where necessary, supports and supplements Member States' actions to respect and promote cultural and linguistic diversity, in accordance with the 2005 Unesco Convention on the Protection and Promotion of the Diversity of Cultural Expressions, strengthen the competitiveness of the European cultural and creative sectors and facilitate adaptation to industrial changes, in particular through vocational training.

Proposal for a regulation Recital 5 (5) Decision No 1904/2006/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 12 December 2006 establishing for the period 2007 to 2013 the programme "Europe for Citizens" to promote active European citizenship set out an action programme which has confirmed the need to promote sustained dialogue with civil society organisations and

Proposal for a regulation Recital 8 (8) The new programme should cover a wide spectrum of different actions and include, among others, citizens' meetings, contacts and debates on citizenship issues, Union level events, initiatives to reflect on defining moments in European history, initiatives to raise awareness about the Union institutions and their functioning, and debates on European policy issues or on matters of transnational interest to a number of European citizens, with a view to invigorat
Amendment 127 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 8 a (new) (8a) The successive enlargements of the European Union and old and new migratory flows, combined with increased mobility and more numerous contacts between individuals, have resulted in the EU exhibiting a great diversity of cultures and languages. The exercise of citizenship is based on mutual comprehension, which constitutes a key element both for strengthening democracy and social cohesion and for combating racism, xenophobia and intolerance. It is therefore essential to promote any activity aimed at facilitating and enhancing intercultural dialogue and respect for cultural and linguistic diversity in accordance with the UNESCO Convention of 2005 on the Protection and Promotion of the Diversity of Cultural Expressions.
Amendment 128 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 8 b (new) (8b) Education, including non-formal and informal education, plays a vitally important role in both the teaching and the exercise of citizenship, as it promotes individual empowerment, solidarity and mutual understanding and strengthens social cohesion. It is therefore essential to raise awareness of the European institutions even amongst the very young and to promote recognition of volunteering, to acknowledge the abilities and aptitudes acquired through voluntary work and to remove the obstacles hindering cross-border cooperation. Likewise, recognition of the status of European association should facilitate development of cross-border projects.

Motion for a resolution Paragraph 6 6. Calls on the Commission and Member States, in addition to such ‘must be found’ rules, to consider to what extent a reform of media regulation so as to move towards incentive schemes and strengthen self- regulatory approaches can enable the aforesaid regulatory objectives of the Audiovisual Media Services Directive to be attained in a lasting fashion; emphasises, however, that any co- and self-regulation measures can only supplement legal provisions and that compliance with them must be monitored and the assessment of their effectiveness must be carried out by an independent public body;
