WRITTEN QUESTION No. 3733/97 by Yves VERWAERDE to the Commission. Celebration of 100 years of cinema
Official Journal C 187 , 16/06/1998 P. 0047
WRITTEN QUESTION E-3733/97 by Yves Verwaerde (PPE) to the Commission (21 November 1997) Subject: Celebration of 100 years of cinema Would the Commission inform me of the support given by the European Union, in financial terms, to celebration of 100 years of cinema and provide me with a breakdown of the appropriations granted for this purpose? Answer given by Mr Oreja on behalf of the Commission (13 February 1998) In accordance with the Council Resolution of 5 November 1993 ((OJ C 85, 22.3.1994. )) calling on the Commission to continue and expand its activities to commemorate the 1995 centenary of the cinema, particularly as part of its action in support of film festivals, a call for proposals was published for 'European Commission support for projects to mark the centenary of the cinema' ((OJ C 258, 15.9.1994. )). This generated almost 300 applications for financial support which a board of independent experts sifted through in January 1995. Support was focused on a few large-scale, high-impact projects. It was implemented through heading B3-2011 of the 1995 budget ('European dimension of the audiovisual industry'). The list of projects selected is being sent direct to the Honourable Member and to Parliament's Secretariat. Events relating to the centenary had already been financed in 1994 as part of the support for film festivals, with ECU 62 491 being granted (heading B3-2011).
