Results of today's Culture and Sport Council


Culture and Audiovisual

The Council adopted a recommendation for a decision designating Leeuwarden (Netherlands) as European Capital of Culture for the year 2018.

The Council also adopted conclusions on cultural heritage as a strategic resource for a sustainable Europe, underlining that cultural heritage, be it tangible, intangible or digital, is a strategic resource in which modern Europe - one of the richest regions of the world in terms of culture - should invest in order to make its social, economic and environmental development more sustainable. The conclusions call in particular for more resources to be invested in cultural heritage as a part of sustainable regional strategies developed both at national and European level

The President of the Council Minister Panagiotopoulos said that “Europe is not only a cradle of culture but also a bridge between cultures”. He also recalled that “the best answer to anti-European movements appearing in the context of the European elections is our common culture and heritage of which we can be proud and which unites us all ”

The Council also held, in public deliberation, a policy debate on the topic "Addressing cultural policy challenges in the context of the next Work Plan for Culture beyond 2014". Since 2002, Council work plans for culture have been a framework for the EU's medium-term cultural policy-making.

Furthermore, ministers had an exchange of views on the Transatlantic Trade and Investment
Partnership Agreement between the EU and the USA, on the basis of information from the
Commission on the state of play of negotiations.


Sport

The Council and the representatives of the governments of the member states adopted a resolution on the EU Work Plan for Sport (2014-2017), which complements and reinforces the impact of activities launched under the Erasmus+ programme in this field. It also aims to further strengthen the cooperation in the field of sport between member states and the Commission.

The Council adopted conclusions on gender equality in sport, inviting member states to consider developing policies and programmes for eliminating gender stereotypes and promoting gender equality in education curricula and practices from an early age. The conclusions also invite member states, in cooperation with sports organisations, to promote the prevention of gender based violence in sport and the protection of victims and potential victims of sexual abuse and harassment in sport.

Ministers also discussed, in public deliberation, the economic, social and environmental sustainability of major sport events, against the background of member states experiences of hosting this kind of events, such as Olympic Games, World/European Championships. Ministers addressed in particular the issue of legacy.
