Consultation on EU plans for a European heritage label
| Results of the on-line consultation The on-line consultation is now over. We invite you to read the full report as well as the Executive Summary. The results of the various steps of the public consultation will be incorporated into the final impact assessment report in autumn 2009 and serve as a basis for the Commission's proposal on the European Heritage Label. |
| Title : Consultation on EU plans for a European heritage label |
| Policy field : Culture |
| Target group(s) : The consultation is open to individual citizens and organisations and in particular stakeholders from national governments, local and regional authorities, international organisations, the European institutions, employers associations and trade unions, civil-society organisations, academics and citizens. |
| Period of consultation: from 20.03.2009 to 15.05.2009 |
|
Objective of the consultation: On 20 November 2008, the EU Council called on the Commission to draft a proposal to transform the European heritage label into an official EU initiative. This would make the label more visible and effective. The Commission has launched an impact study – including a public consultation – to assess whether the EU should get involved and whether it can add something to the European heritage label. If the answer is yes, the impact study will be used to decide what form EU involvement should take. The current online consultation is one element of the public consultation. |

| Results of consultation and next steps |
|
The results of this online consultation will be analysed and summarised in a report that will be published on this site around July 2009. A public meeting with organisations from the cultural heritage field will be held in Brussels on 10 June 2009, and a meeting with experts designated by EU member countries on 24 June. The European Commission has ordered an independent study on the potential social, economic and environmental impacts of the results. The results of the various consultations and the study will be incorporated into a final impact assessment report in autumn 2009 and, if appropriate, serve as a basis for the Commission's proposal on the European heritage label. |
