A strategy paper just released by the French Foreign and European Affairs Department argues for a rethinking of the cultural cooperation protocol recently incorporated by the European Union (EU) into its trade agreements. The document also makes the case for coordinated work among States to promote the principles and objectives of the UNESCO Convention on the Protection and Promotion of the Diversity of Cultural Expressions in trade agreements and at the WTO consistent with Articles 20 and 21 of the Convention.
