Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In line with the objectives of the European Agenda for Culture, this Communication presents the EU's approach to heritage across different policy areas. This Communication examines what the EU can do to enhance heritage's intrinsic value and take advantage of its economic and societal potential. The European experience shows that it is possible to progress from an appreciation of the uniqueness of one's own heritage to an interest in and respect for the heritage of others. The Commission invites all stakeholders to jointly look into how public policies at all levels, including the EU, could better be marshalled to draw out the long term and sustainability value of Europe's cultural heritage, and develop a more integrated approach to its preservation and valorisation.
