Impact of culture on creativity
III. The Green Paper
" In this new digital economy, the intangible value determines more practicality, consumers looking for "experiences" new and rewarding. The ability to create experiences and social networks has become a competitive factor "(3).
solution: culture
• "Building on its rich culture and varied, Europe must explore new ways to create value added, but also to live in community, share resources and appreciate its diversity. "
• "The cultural and creative industries in Europe offer a real potential to address these challenges and thereby contribute to the strategy Europe 2020 "(3)
a very inclusive definition
• "The" cultural industries "are industries which produce and distribute goods or services concerned at the time of their design as having a quality, or use a specific purpose or vehicle that embodies cultural expressions regardless of commercial value that these goods or services may have.
• Besides the traditional sectors of the arts (performing arts, visual arts, cultural heritage - including the public sector), these goods and services also include movies, DVDs and videos, television and radio, video games, new media, music, books and newspapers "(7).
• "The 'creative industries " are the industries that use culture as an input and have a cultural dimension, although their productions are essentially functional. They include architecture and design, which integrates creative elements in the broader processes and sub-sectors, such as graphic design, fashion design and advertising "(7).

Réponse du Gouvernement britannique
« The creative industries form a key part of the UK ’s economic growth strategy and the UK ’s approach is one of balance between having the right policy and financial support in place, whilst making sure that this is light touch and leaves entrepreneurs and the market free to pursue their business ». è Intervention UE lorsqu’elle apporte une réelle valeur ajoutée
Ouvrir la compétition dans les échanges
« The UK wants a European Union that remains open to trade and investment, recognising the opportunities and challenges from global competition. Regulation should be a last resort and should not be used to force or restrict innovation. The UK ’s cultural and creative industries operate competitively in the global economy and are world renowned ». Copyright
