I feel therefore that extending and enriching European citizens' participation in culture is a crucial task, one which justifies the efforts we make to achieve it, and this is the yardstick against which we must measure the success of our programme and of our Union.
At øge og berige de europæiske borgeres deltagelse i kulturen forekommer mig således at være en vigtig opgave, der gør vores bestræbelser berettigede, og som vi skal måle vores indsats' og vores Unions succes ud fra.
