First of all, I would like to thank all my colleagues who have spoken, as well as those who were unable to do so, because I believe this morning’s debate has shown just how deeply felt and how important this issue is in all our member states; certainly in those facing restrictions on freedom or at war, but truly across the board in all member states. I shall take just a moment of the time I have left to thank the Secretariat for the work it has done, the Chair of the... 30/09/2026 | 10:06:49 Thank you, Chair. Dear colleagues, I shall speak in Italian. Access to information through pluralistic and independent media is essential in a democracy.

Dear colleagues, Today, we are talking about cinema. Europe is the birthplace of cinema: from the Paris of the Lumière Brothers to Cinecittà in Rome, this language so important for human beings, to the festivals of Berlin, Venice, Cannes, and the schools of London and Prague.
