5.2.2013
Question for written answer E-001196-13
to the Commission
Rule 117
Kinga Göncz (S&D)
Thanks to the Education, Audiovisual and Culture Executive Agency’s Culture Programme 2007-2013 (Strand 1.2.2 — Literary Translation Projects — EU), a significant number of high-quality works of literature produced in the European Union have been translated into different EU languages, and have thus been made accessible to our citizens, fostering cultural integration within Europe.
According to the information provided by some of the grant recipients, all translated works have to be sent to the relevant unit at the Commission. However, we have not been able to establish where a register of these translated works of literature can be found.
Can the Commission state:
- 1.whether there exists a detailed register or summary of the works of literature translated in the framework of these grants;
- 2.should such a register not be available, whether it intends to launch a tender with a view to safeguarding the accessibility of these texts?
