While welcoming the opening and development of /Europeana/, MEPs deeply regret the unevenness of Member State contributions. They urge governments and cultural institutions to co-operate closely in speeding up digitisation, and "not to restrict availability to the territory of their country". They also urge them to provide more audio and video material, "paying special attention to those works which deteriorate easily". MEPs propose a funding and advertising campaign entitled "Join /Europeana/".
The report urges the Commission and Member States "to take all necessary steps to avoid a knowledge gap between Europe and non-EU countries", so as to make /Europeana/ "one of the main reference points for education and research purposes". The committee also recommends creating a separate on-line space, within /Europeana/, where users can create content.
