A little dig against Francois Hollande and his former ministers? Prime Minister Manuel Valls, at Cannes this Sunday, called “error” the decline in the budget of Culture made at the beginning of the quinquennium Francois Hollande. “This was an error in the first two years of the five year term of Francois Hollande to lower the budget of Culture. This was a negative sign,” said Manuel Valls at a conference on copyright.
“We must never give bad sign when we talk about culture,” stressed the Prime Minister. For 2015, the budget of Culture and Communication has been stabilized after two years of decline: + 0.33% following – 4% in 2013 and – 2% in 2014.
Copyright The” vector of competitiveness “
Prime Minister then raised the issue of copyright that Brussels intends to modernize the digital age, under the watchful eyes of France. “If we lower the flag on the copyright, which will invest in creation? The copyright is not only a necessary protection for artists but also the vector of our collective identity,” said he said.
The copyright has he still insisted, is “as a vector of competitiveness of our economy.”
The culture minister Fleur Pellerin said Sunday in an interview with Nice Matin that “without a balanced approach, the reform envisaged by the Commission could have serious consequences and end up with a system where the works could circulate …. but where we could no longer create, produce “.
