WRITTEN QUESTION No. 3440/95 by José ESCUDERO to the Commission. European aid for music  


Official Journal C 217 , 26/07/1996 P. 0004 





WRITTEN QUESTION E-3440/95 by José Escudero (PPE) to the Commission (18 December 1995)Subject: European aid for musicIs the Commission planning to provide aid to encourage musical activities which bring musicians together, organizing competitions, teaching courses, choirs and orchestras made up of young Europeans, other than the so-called European orchestras?Would it be possible to allocate aid to music in such a way that it would reach local or regional level, and particularly youth orchestras?Answer given by Mr Oreja on behalf of the Commission (6 February 1996)Following the insertion in the EC Treaty of the new Article 128 on culture, the Commission has presented three cultural action proposals for decisions on the establishment of programmes in the field of contemporary culture (Kaleidoscope), books and reading (Ariane) and heritage (Raphael). These proposals are still being considered by the Council.Support for music is dealt with primarily under the Kaleidoscope programme, which includes support not only for the European Community Youth Orchestra and the European Community Baroque Orchestra but also for individual projects.In line with the principle of subsidiarity, the Kaleidoscope programme must focus on projects with a European dimension, i.e. presented by representatives of at least three Member States. For regional or local cultural projects the Commission has launched a pilot project for interregional cooperation in the field of economic development with cultural interest, based on Article 10 of the ERDF Regulation.

Opinion of the European Monetary Institute on a consultation from the Danish Ministry of Economic Affairs under Article 109f(6) of the Treaty establishing the European Community and Article 5.3 of the Statute of the EMI on a Law Proposal repealing the Credit Regulation Act No 543 of 17th October 1973 (CON/95/17)

OPINION OF THE EUROPEAN MONETARY INSTITUTE

on  a  consultation  from  the  Danish  Ministry  of  Economic  Affairs  under  Article  109f(6)  of  the  Treaty

establishing the European Community and Article 5.3 of the Statute of the EMI

on a Law Proposal repealing the Credit Regulation Act No 543 of 17th October 1973

CON/95/17

1.  On 22nd November 1995 the Danmarks Nationalbank forwarded a request of the Danish Ministry

of Economic Affairs for consultation to the EMI on a Law Proposal repealing the Credit Regulation

Act No 543 of 17th October 1973.

2.  The  Credit  Regulation  Act  empowers  the  Minister  of  Economic  Affairs,  after  negotiation  with

Danmarks  Nationalbank,  to  promulgate  provisions  designed  to  regulate  credit  made  available

through financial institutions and to require each financial institution to hold specified liquid assets in

an  amount  as  stipulated  in  the  Act.  This  authorisation  has  never  actually  been  exercised  as  credit

had  been  regulated  by  means  of  a  system  of  credit  policy  agreements  between  the  Nationalbank

and  the  credit  institutions’  associations.  These  agreements  had  not  been  in  use  for  more  than  a

decade and in October 1995, the Danmarks Nationalbank renounced the powers to conclude such

credit  policy  agreements.  Against  this  background,  the  Danish  authorities  found  the  Credit

Regulation Act to be outdated.

3.  The  EMI  welcomes  that  the  changed  circumstances  allow  the  Danish  authorities  to  repeal  the

Credit Regulation Act and that the Danish Government considers its involvement in monetary policy

decision-making  in  this  area  no  longer  to  be  a  prerequisite.  With  regard  to  the  diversity  of

instruments  available  to  Danish  monetary  policy,  the  EMI  considers  that  a  repeal  of  the  Credit

Regulation Act would not inhibit a continued effective conduct of the monetary policy of Danmarks

Nationalbank,  nor  the  successful  co-ordination  of  monetary  policies  between  Member  States.

Following  the  liberalisation  of  financial  markets  more  than  a  decade  ago,  Danish  monetary  policy

has become market-oriented, with a focus on steering the short-term interest rate in the context of

its  exchange  rate  objective.  In  this  setting  for  monetary  policy,  credit  regulations  are  not  the

- 2 -

appropriate tool to counter an excessive supply of credit by financial institutions. The proposal to repeal the Credit

efficient allocation of resources.

4. The  EMI  has  no  objections  against  this  opinion  being  made  public  by  the  competent  Danish

authorities at their discretion.
