It helps increase European integration, social cohesion and the building of a belonging to Europe and life-long cross-border networks; takes the view that priority should be given to promoting inclusion and increasing the number of participants in the next programme period; Erasmus+ programme is therefore a crucial investment in the future of the Union; insists on the fact that without tripling the budget available as sought by the Parliament, no new Commission initiatives can be taken on board, as the Parliament has already stated; recalls that insufficient funding for the Erasmus+ programme will endanger its capacity to reach its new objectives and to uphold the challenges of becoming more inclusive and ecological; Paragraph 3 Andrey Slabakov, Dace Melbārde (AM8), Monica Semedo, Vlad-Marius Botoş (AM 9), Laurence Farreng, Ilana Cicurel, Irena Joveva, Monica Semedo, Morten Løkkegaard, Vlad-Marius Botoş, Radka Maxová (AM10), Petra Kammerevert, Victor Negrescu Deeply regrets that the proposal of the Council on the Creative Europe programme is lower than the initial proposal of the Commission and far from meets Parliament's expectations and those of the cultural and creative sectors; recalls that a doubling of the budget for the programme compared to the 2014-2020 multiannual financial framework is necessary to provide targeted support to the cultural and creative sectors and to fully finance the ambitions and new priorities of the programme, as the sectors require proper investment to foster job creation and financing to complement national schemes while undertaking their ecological transition; recalls that the cultural and creative sector is one of the most hit by the COVID-19 pandemic and calls for adequate answers and financing to reduce the substantive losses of the sector due to the unforeseeable closure of venues during the pandemic; VL_General budget of the European Union for the financial year 2021 5/6 Update: 02/10/2020 VL_General budget of the European Union for the financial year 2021 6/6 Update: 02/10/2020.
