WRITTEN QUESTION P-1581/00

by Glenys Kinnock (PSE) to the Commission

(12 May 2000)

Subject: European City of Culture

How would the Commission respond to a request from up to three towns wishing to be European City of
Culture?

Would it be permissible under the current criteria, and would such regional applications be considered?

Answer given by Mrs Reding on behalf of the Commission

(5 June 2000)

All decisions concerning the designation of the European capital of culture until 2004 have already been
taken on an intergovernmental basis by the ministers for culture meeting within the Council. The
procedure governing the designation of such cities from 2005 until 2019 is laid down by Decision
1419/1999/EC of the Parliament and the Council of 25 May 1999 establishing a Community action for
the European capital of culture event for the years 2005 to 2019 (1).

Article 2.1 of this Decision states that (cid:145)(cid:133). The nomination or nominations shall be notified to the
European Parliament, the Council, the Commission and the Committee of the Regions by the Member
State concerned (cid:133).(cid:146) As there is no restriction on the number of cities to be proposed by each Member
State it would be possible for any number of nominations to be notified. Article 2.2 of the same Decision
sets out the procedures that will be used to assess the nominations and Annex II of the Decision sets out
the criteria that could be used to this end.

Given that Article 2.1 states that (cid:145)one city shall be designated as European Capital of Culture in turn (cid:133).(cid:146)
there would not appear to be any scope for a regional application.

Subject: Lack of job security and industrial accidents in Spain and in the region of Murcia

At the Lisbon Summit a commitment was made to pursue full and high quality employment within the
EU. While the French Government pointed to the experience of the reduction of working hours as a means
of creating stable high quality jobs, it is the formula pursued by the Spanish and British Governments of
