The Culture and Education Committee called upon the EU Commission to propose a “European Status of the Artist”, setting out a common framework for working conditions and minimum standards for all EU countries, while fully respecting member states’ competencies on their labour market and cultural policy. The resolution also called for cross-border mobility programmes for young creators and innovators and better protection for authors and performers from dominant streaming platforms.
