Further information: In order to make sustainable provision for the European Union Youth Orchestra's continued activity, the European Commission proposed that it be recognised as a 'body identified by a basic act' within the meaning of Article 190(1)(d) of Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 1268/2012. The Commission therefore adopted on 18 July 2017 a proposal amending Regulation (EU) No 1295/2013 establishing the Creative European programme, in order to secure financing for the EUYO. The European Parliament and the Council of the European Union reached an informal agreement on this proposal on 25 January 2018. This was endorsed by the COREPER on 31 January and formally by the Council on 12 April. As part of the agreement reached between EU institutions in January 2018, the orchestra has to increase its efforts in areas such as audience development and visibility and to ensure geographically balanced representation of musicians as well as work with a view to reducing its dependence on Union funding. Background: The EUYO was founded in 1976 following a Resolution of the European Parliament and has been performing in the name of the European Union since then. Its Honorary President is the President of the European Parliament and its honorary patrons are the Heads of State or Government of the Member States, headed by the President of the European Commission. The EUYO is composed of young musicians from all Member States of the Union, who are selected according to quality criteria. It unites talented young musicians in an orchestra that transcends cultural boundaries. As a group of young musicians working together to achieve a very high level of orchestral performance, the EUYO is a unique orchestra on the European scene, showcasing European music and talent to diverse audiences within the EU and beyond. The Creative Europe programme and its predecessor funding scheme have supported the EUYO in various ways throughout the years. In 2016, the EUYO received an operating grant under Regulation (EU, Euratom) No 966/2012 as a body that pursues an aim of general EU interest or has an objective forming part of and supporting EU culture policy. In 2017, it was financed in the same way. |
