The Committee on Culture and Education communicated its opinion on the macro-regional strategy for the Mediterranean to the Committee on Regional Development. I particularly welcome the adoption of my amendment, included in the text adopted in plenary, on the need to facilitate mobility of artists and the arts in the Mediterranean area by simplifying procedures for granting visas and by optimising programmes of free movement and support for cultural actors, as well as on the importance of the implementation and mutual recognition of the status of artists.
