SOUNDBITE (English), Antonio TAJANI, EP President, Thank you for coming. I think for the European Parliament it is important to strengthen our cultural identity. It is important to strengthen our (film) industry, because you are among the cultural identity, also an important sector.

SOUNDBITE (English), Antonio TAJANI, EP President, As you know, the European Parliament voted in favour of the protection of the copyright with the large majority. This is important. Also, this prize is a strong message to Europe, because it is possible to have very good distribution of your films. The members of the Parliament voted for the winner but the three of you are the winners, because everyone will be in Europe. Good luck for you! This is a good prize. There are LUX Prize, then winner of the Oscar. Exactly. It is the first step to the Oscar. Good luck for everyone, thank you for coming!
