A broad programme of events and activities will become an opportunity to introduce Spain and Spanish culture not only at the Fair but throughout in Germany. In short, the project has two aims: to place value on the book industry and those who write, translate, edit, read; and to show how Spain has developed culturally, socially, and economically over the past thirty years. Spain’s presence at the Fair is directed by the Ministry of Culture and Sport and carried out by Acción Cultural Española (AC/E) in collaboration with Instituto Cervantes; the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, European Union and Cooperation; the Ministry of Industry, Commerce and Tourism; the Ministry of Finance and the Spanish Association of Publishers’ Guilds (FGEE).
