(4) The Commission Communication on
a New European Agenda for Culture [15]
further sets out the objectives of the Union
for the cultural and creative sectors. It aims

well-being, fostering the cross-border
dimension of cultural and creative sectors,
supporting their capacity to grow,
encouraging culture-based creativity in
education and innovation, and for jobs and
growth as well as strengthening
international cultural relations. Creative
Europe, together with other Union
programmes, should support the

with the 2005 UNESCO Convention for

the Protection and Promotion of the
Diversity of Cultural Expressions, which
entered into force on 18 March 2007 and to

(5) The promotion of European cultural
diversity _**depends on**_ the existence of
flourishing and resilient cultural and
creative sectors _**, able**_ to create, produce
and distribute _**their works**_ to a large and

creativity _**contributes**_ to boosting

This requires strong European cultural and
creative sectors, in particular a vibrant
European audiovisual industry, taking into

as cultural tourism. However, competition
in global audiovisual markets has been
