Midday press briefing from 20/04/2026

Show transcript

I would like to ask a question about a report which was published last Friday.

It was an annual report on artistic freedom across the world by this NGO Freemuse, and I would like to ask if you have any comments on it,

and especially about the current, let's say, guidelines or regulation guiding it,

because we know there is this UNESCO.

Convention for 2005, which the EU is monitoring, but is that enough,

because now there are talks about a new so called European Artistic Freedom Act.

My question is whether this is something which the Commission is working on, if it is needed. Thank you. Mose, thanks for your question.

We, we'll have to look into that in more detail and come back in the afternoon if you don't mind. Thanks very much.

Other questions for us today, I'll come back to you, David.

I just want to have open for, for other people, Nicolaus.
