Done ! The @Europarl_EN just adopted its resolution on the cultural recovery of Europe by 598 votes in favor, 42 against and 46 abstentions. An overwhelming majority & a strong political message to support Europe’s diverse cultural landscape hugely affected by #COVID__19 1/10👇

The @Europarl_EN "expresses its sincere solidarity with performers, artists, creators, authors, publishers, their companies and all other cultural creators and workers, including amateur creators, who all have been severely affected by the global COVID-19 pandemic". 2/10

It further "calls on the @EU_Commission and Member States to earmark for the cultural and creative sectors and industries, according to their specific needs, at least 2 % of the Recovery and Resilience Facility dedicated to the recovery;" 3/10 @JHahnEU @vonderleyen @GabrielMariya

🔊"highlights that this percentage should reflect the importance of the cultural and creative sectors and industries to the EU’s GDP, considering that they account for 7.8 million jobs and 4 % of GDP" 4/10

"insists, in this context, that cultural and creative actors should be a clear focus of the Member States’ targeted actions and should benefit widely and quickly from all recovery funds;" 5/10 @culturagob @MinistereCC @jmrdezuribes @dariofrance

"stresses that the implementation of those directives and forthcoming legislative proposals must preserve and promote collective mechanisms to ensure adequate protection of individual creators;" @unimei @Film_directors @ScreenwritersEU @fim_musicians @authorsocieties #DSA 9/10
