Minister of Culture Corina Suteu says that Romania did not have a seat at the European table of negotiation on extremely important subjects, culture included; she also pleads for Romania making its point of view known in Europe. "The successive governments have shown a lack of interest and knowledge of European issues. But if we want our voice to be heard in negotiations at European level, which would be very important, we should do it, because culture - the audiovisual sector included - has a subsequent impact on economy, society and on life quality overall," Suteu said on Friday.
According to her "the fact that at some point Romania's official position is in favor of a distribution quota of European films, that we are in favor of or against a more flexible advertising in art films, really matters." "We can be ambassadors for the idea that Romania must present a specific viewpoint in Europe and that, in reality, Europe remains differentiated, but that this difference is our strength, not a hindrance," said the minister.
Corina Suteu participated Friday in the debate 'The European Union's Creative Europe Program - Funding Opportunities for Cultural and Creative Sectors.' The event was organized by the European Parliament's Information Office in Romania and the Creative Europe Office Romania of the Ministry of Culture - Project Management Unit.
