Implementing the UNESCO Convention in EU's Internal Policies

A briefing note prepared by invitation for the European Parliament's Committee on Culture and Education.

The briefing note provides an analysis of how the existent EU internal policies reflect the spirit and the letter of the UNESCO Convention on Cultural Diversity. The note suggests further ideas on how the EU may calibrate current practices and explores in a forward-looking manner the possibilities for the Convention’s implementation in future internal policies, understood both as hard and soft EU legal instruments. Particular attention in this query is paid to digital media and their regulatory implications.

Here is the link to the studies' section at the EP's website. Translations of the briefing note into French, German and Spanish will soon be made available.
