Call of the Music Sector for a comprehensive policy strategy and an ambitious budget for Europe’s music sector within AgoraEU

Together with a broad coalition from across Europe’s music sector, GESAC call on the European Commission to commit to a coherent policy strategy and an ambitious budget for music with AgoraEU.

Music employs over 1.3 million Europeans, fosters inclusion and democratic values, encompasses a rich ecosystem and enhances Europe’s global cultural presence. Yet, despite its reach and impact, music remains underrepresented in EU cultural policy.

 

 

 

Sgae Study

AgoraEU is a unique opportunity to change this. We urge EU policymakers to:

✅ Ensure dedicated calls and programmes tailored to music’s needs.
✅ Establish a European Music Observatory for evidence-based policymaking.
✅ Promote ethical and fair principles for digital transformation and AI

Music should not only be funded but strategically supported in the next EU budget, and give music the recognition, visibility, and investment it deserves!
