This political commitment recognizes culture as a cornerstone of cohesion, economic growth, and competitiveness within the European sphere. The three institutions highlight culture’s decisive contribution to fostering a shared European identity, as well as upholding fundamental values such as freedom, equality, and respect for human rights.
In this context, the Joint Declaration acknowledges the cultural and creative sectors as vital partners for managing contemporary crises and challenges. From geopolitical tensions and climate change to the digital transition and social inequalities, culture emerges as a key pillar for maintaining social resilience and European cohesion.
The three EU institutions commit to actively supporting the sector through strong funding, new programs, and by prioritizing artistic freedom, fair working conditions, and a regulated framework for Artificial Intelligence.
Remaining true to its commitment to stand by creators and fight for their future, AUTODIA welcomes this initiative, which recognizes the urgency of the situation and the need for immediate decision-making, mobilization, and strengthened budgets. For AUTODIA, this political movement represents the EU’s pledge to meaningfully assist in safeguarding and protecting creators and their works amid the constantly evolving landscape of the new digital era.
In a period of significant challenges for creativity and artistic production, AUTODIA remains dedicated to defending creators’ rights, considering the EU’s response crucial to safeguarding their work. “Europe for Culture – Culture for Europe” marks a vital first step in this direction.
