The report contains detailed analysis of cooperation in the Visual Arts; Performing Arts; Cultural Heritage; Music and Books and Reading. As well as describing the current state of play, trends, conclusions and recommendations point the way to the future. The 31 countries surveyed include the 15 current European Union member states, the 13 accession countries and 3 members of the European Economic Area (Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway).
