Udgangspunktet er det, jeg også allerede har sagt tidligere, nemlig omtalte artikel 128 i traktaten, hvori det helt klart hedder, at Fællesskabet bidrager til, at medlemsstaternes kulturer kan udfolde sig, idet det respekterer den nationale og regionale mangfoldighed og samtidig fremhæver den fælles kulturarv.
As I have already pointed out, the starting point is the aforesaid Article 128 of the Treaty, which states quite clearly that the Community shall contribute to the flowering of the cultures of the Member States while respecting their national and regional diversity and at the same time bringing the common cultural heritage to the fore.
