Evaluation of the MEDIA Programme
"Community support is more necessary than ever"
Community Intervention in the audiovisual sector since MEDIA I has been based on an assessment of the structural needs of the sector. This approach is still valid, as is shown by the initial results of MEDIA Plus, MEDIA Training and i2i audiovisual. Indeed, one of the conclusions of the mid-term evaluation of the Media Plus and Media Training programmes is that Community support is more necessary than ever to respond to the increasing need of audiovisual sector and to sustain an industry playing a major role in shaping the European cultural horizon. The sector also has a high economic potential that should be fully exploited within the single market and worldwide.
