SUBJECT OF THE COMMISSION’S PROPOSAL 

The  Decision  of  the  European  Parliament  and  the  Council  1419/1999/EC  provides  for 
participation  by  the  15  old  Member  States  in  the  European  Capital  of  Culture  event,  in 
chronological order between 2005 and 2009. 

The sole aim of the proposal for an amendment to this decision is to enable the new Member 
States to be integrated quickly into the European Capital of Culture event. The Commission 
has  thus  proposed  that,  from  2009,  the  new  Member  States  be  added  to  the  list  of  current 
Member  States  in  the  Decision,  in  a  chronological  order  to  be  agreed  upon  by  the  new 
Member States. 

3- 

COMMENTS ON THE COMMON POSITION 

The  Council  has  unanimously  adopted  the  Commission’s  amended  proposal.  The  proposal 
included  only  amendment  1  voted  by  the  Parliament  (introducing  a  recital  on  adjusting  the 
budget to allow for the fact that there will be two capitals per year). 

4- 

CONCLUSIONS 

The Commission therefore considers that the text of the common position is acceptable.
