Paragraph -1 (new)
Paragraph -1 (new)
-1. Believes that the importance of culture for our identity, democracy, society and economy is not adequately reflected in the current multiannual financial framework 2021-2027, particularly in light of the long-lasting consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic which the cultural and creative sectors will continue to be suffering from for many years to come;
Amendment 3 #
1. Believes that Erasmus+, Creative Europe and the European Solidarity Corps (ESC) have demonstrated flexibility in response to recent global challenges; is convinced, nonetheless, that when emergency situations inspire new political priorities, these need to be agreed upon by the co-legislators; stresses the persistent lack of EU funding for education, youth and culture especially in the current challenging times; in particular, notes with concern the cut of the overall Creative Europe envelope suggested by the Commission for 2023 and its further decrease proposed by the Council, even after taking into account the estimated 2023 top-up resulting from the programme-specific adjustment provided for in Article 5 of the MFF Regulation; In this regard, considers that a mid-term revision of the MFF should ensure the full recovery of the cultural and creative sectors and industries after the Covid-19 pandemic, as well as mitigating the consequences of the war in Ukraine and high inflation, in a long-term perspective.;

Paragraph 3 a (new)
3 a. Reiterates its deep regret and incomprehension that - despite repeated calls by the European Parliament1a with overwhelming majority - the Recovery and Resilience Facility investments fail to reflect the enormous economic and social significance of the cultural and creative sectors which account for 4.4% of the EU’s GDP and about 8.7 million jobs in the EU, leaving these sectors considerably underrepresented in the EU’s overall effort to overcome the pandemic and to support the recovery and resilience of the European economy; _________________ 1a e.g. in its resolution of 17 September 2020 on the cultural recovery of Europe and in its resolution of 20 October 2021 on the situation of artists and the cultural recovery in the EU

Paragraph 3 b (new)
3 b. Is worried that the proposed massive budget cut of the Creative Europe programme - the proposed 2023 annual budget foresees a 20% reduction compared to the previous year2a - will bring further harm to the cultural and creative sectors that are only slowly starting to blossom again and will thus have a long-lasting negative impact on our European cultural ecosystem and its diversity; _________________ 2a 325.3 million EUR (2023 proposal) after 406.5 million EUR (2022 budget)

8. Is concerned that the structure of the cultural and creative sectors and industries (CCSI), which cover many micro-organisations, has made them particularly vulnerable to the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic and inflation, decimating both organisations and employment opportunities, and explains their very slow and incomplete economic recovery; therefore, requests more support for the CCSI; asks the Commission to propose, without delay, a European Status of the Artist;
