Brexit wird ein Loch von jährlich 12 Milliarden € in den EU-Haushalt reissen. Bestehende Programme bis auf ERASMUS und HORIZONT sollen gekürzt, neues Geld organisiert werden. CREATIVE EUROPE, das Kulturförderprogramm der EU, bekommt gerade einmal 0,14% des EU-Haushalts 2014-2020 und nur 31% davon fließen unmittelbar in Kulturprojekte.
Culture Action Europe startet deshalb die Kampagne Double4Culture und fordert die Verdopplung der für die Kultur eingesetzten Budgetsumme und dass 1% des kommenden EU-Haushalts über alle Politikbereiche und Förderprogramme hinweg für die Kultur zur Verfügung gestellt werden.

The European Alliance for Culture and Arts regretts that the 7th cohesion report of the European Commission, which was presented at the opening of the European Week of Regions and Cities in October, does not take into account culture and the arts in its findings related to the measuring of social progress, education, well-being, health and urban infrastructures and in general in the future shape of cohesion policy.
The Alliance has called European, regional and local policy makers to integrate culture and the arts in the post 2020 objectives and future evaluation criteria of the social cohesion strategy.
