Two questions dominated today's discussion with EU Culture Ministers:

🎨 How do we ensure cultural rights in the age of AI?
🏛️ How do we better protect Europe's cultural heritage from trafficking and organised crime?

For creators, the next steps are clear:
• Review of the relevance of existing rules
• Call for Evidence of the Copyright Directive Review open until 25 June
• Preparation of an AI Strategy for the cultural and creative sectors

For heritage professionals:
• Continued implementation of measures to strengthen traceability and combat illicit trafficking

The objective is to ensure that Europe's creativity, culture and heritage remain protected and valued in a rapidly changing world.

Now comes the most important part: turning the #CultureCompass vision into real support and real opportunities for Europe's cultural and creative sectors.

I am in Cyprus for the #InformalCouncil Meeting with Culture Ministers.

We will discuss 2 topics.
💠 Cultural rights in the age of AI
💠 Illicit trafficking of cultural goods

Both are about the value of human creativity.

I look forward to a productive discussion with ministers today.
