  • strategic investment in culture, as well as in cultural and creative industries, in particular in SMEs, is vital for promoting culture as such and for strengthening a dynamic creative society in the European Union, for creating jobs and enabling the fulfilment of the Lisbon goals;
  • Such an investment should be further considered as an integral component of the future of the Lisbon strategy beyond 2010;
  •  In this context, it is of strategic importance to further promote synergies between the cultural sector and other sectors as well as to ensure that the potential and specificity of the cultural sector are taken into account in other policy areas;
