CONCLUSIONThe Working Group has had very limited time to evaluate existing programmes and develop proposals fora new cultural framework programme. Nevertheless, the group attempted to address the main objectivesand features of such a programme, and has made proposals concerning main actions and support methods.The group’s approach has not been to propose radical changes, but equally the Working Group believesstrongly that a continuation of the status quo is neither tenable nor desirable. The current programme andprocedures must be changed. The group urges the Commission to develop new programmes andprocedures that are more clearly focused and efficient than at present, that adhere to clearly statedpriorities, that involve and capture the experience of the cultural sector, that take into account theimportant cultural challenges of an enlarged Europe, and that offer leadership and inspiration.In view of its efforts, the Working Group wishes to make this report available publicly, and asks theCommission to include it within the report on the consultation process, and to keep members of the groupinformed about progress in relation to the development of the new cultural framework programme.The Working Group wishes to thank Commission officials who assisted the discussions by providingdocumentation and sharing experience, and to members of the cultural sector who were consulted as partof this process.Finally, the Working Group does not consider this report as a final document. The proposals includedwithin it must be amplified and developed.22
