Kaleidoscope: programme to support artistic and cultural activities until 31 December 1999

The Committee adopted the report by Mr Pex on extending Kaleidoscope programme to 1999, pending adoption of the framework programme for culture (2000-2004) which is to include all existing measures in the field of culture. The amendment to the Kaleidoscope programme proposes an increase of ECU 2.3 million (10.2 million instead of the 7.9 million proposed by the Commission), making the overall amount for the new period (1996-99) for this programme ECU 36.7 million.�
