Since the European Union launched its Covid-19 aid package earlier this summer, the Parliament was alarmed that neither the Commissioner nor the Council presented concrete plans to support the European cultural and creative sectors (CCS).
In a cross-party resolution, the Parliament demands that at least two percent, about 13.5 Euro, of the Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF) should flow into the European CCS. Additionally, the Parliament advocates that Creative Europe should receive additional funds from the Corona aids, increasing to 2.8 billion euros.
