Convention on the protection of world cultural and natural heritage: application in the Union's countries

The European Parliament has adopted the report by Mrs Christine de VEYRAC (EPP/ED, F) on world heritage sites. (Please refer to the decision of the committee responsible). It should also be noted that the Parliament calls on the Commission and the Member States to study, in cooperation with UNESCO and the Council of Europe, the viability of an international legal and fiscal framework, which would facilitate forms of sponsorship relating to the conservation of the cultural and natural heritage. A task force to be set up for this purpose should include MEPs. �
