Cultural heritage: Community action programme 1997-2000, Raphaël

The ESC approved the general tenor of the Community action programme in the field of cultural heritage, Raphaël. The ESC particularly endorsed the Commission’s concern to ensure that the proposed programme was both consistent with and complementary to other EU actions of relevance to cultural heritage, in particular those referred to in the Council’s conclusions of 17 June 1994 on drawing up a Community action plan in the field of cultural heritage (OJ C 235, 23/8/1994, p.1).
