Article 151: research paper of Joost Smiers |
|
Friendly
enough, Mr. Joost Smiers (professor from Utrecht) has gifted us with his
research paper on "The role
of the European Community concerning the cultural article 151 in the Treaty
of Amsterdam". Stimulating cultural cooperation and providing space
(in the abstract sense) for it and finally taking culture as an issue
(a major one!) in consideration are the key elements the study is based
on.

New work plan on European cooperation in the field of culture - a Council Resolution |
|
The
Official Journal of the European Communities
has published the Council resolution on European
cultural cooperation (2002/C 162/03) as a
result of the different meetings of the Ministers
for Culture of the European Union. The document
underlines the necessity of adopting a "more
coherent approach to action" in the field
of culture and of "placing culture at
the heart of European integration". The
document contains an "indicative list
of topics" that should be primarily addressed,
among which are the European added value,
the access to and visibility of the cultural
action of the Community, dialogue and cooperation
between member States, new Member States and
third countries.

Preserving digital content for future generations - a Council Resolution |
|
The
Official Journal of the European Communities
has published the Council resolution on preserving
digital content for future generations (2002/C
162/02). The document notes that the cultural
and intellectual assets of our society are
dependent on rapidly changing technologies,
on fragile media and are widely distributed
geographically, hence they are at great risk
of irremediably lost unless positive measures
are taken to preserve them. Accordingly, the
Council proposes, among other objectives,
the development of policies for preserving
digital culture and heritage, the analysis
of appropriate investments and the creation
of mechanisms for the exchange of knowledge
and skills.

Ruffolo Report on Cultural Cooperation in Europe |
The
European Parliament had assigned its Committee on Culture, Youth, Education,
the Media and Sport to outline the current situation of, along with
useful recommendations on, cultural cooperation in Europe in January
2001. Rapporteur Giorgio Ruffolo had been charged with the preparation
of the report which was published on 16 July 2001. The report
consists of two parts:
- the motion
explores antecedents expressed in a sophisticated manner ("having
regard to..." and "whereas...") but also gives a
detailed description of what to do and how to do it in order to
enhance the aim of the study while
- the explanatory
statement practically provides background information i.e. a summary
of relevant issues in the cultural sector of the EU and the comparative
analysis of European cultural policies.
