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.
