Strasbourg, 08.03.2013 – In a resolution adopted today by the Standing Committee meeting in Paris, the Assembly has made a series of practical recommendations to member States with a view to preserving Europe’s industrial heritage.
To ensure that such protection is effective, the PACE has proposed that a European label for industrial heritage be developed. According to the conclusions of the rapporteur on this issue, Ismeta Dervoz (Bosnia and Herzegovina, EPP/CD), the Assembly has also invited the EU and UNESCO to consider the possibility of launching, together with the Council of Europe, a European Industrial Heritage Year in 2015.
