1. INTRODUCTION In a Communication to the Council and the European Parliament, entitled Towards an international instrument on cultural diversity, the Commission has formally restated the importance of the global debate on cultural diversity and herewith joined the calls for the adoption of a standard-setting instrument on cul- tural diversity.' These calls, as the Commission's document mentions, consist until now of various statements or reports prepared by the G8 (Okinawa, 2000), the Council of Europe (Declaration on cultural diversity, December 2000), the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (Universal Declaration and Action Plan on Cultural Diversity, November 2001), the United Nations and the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) through the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS). In a footnote, further references to other contribu- tions made by various national and international bodies to this debate such as the Organisation Internationale de la Francophonie (OIF) and the International Net- work on Cultural Policy (INCP), the International Network for Cultural Diversity (INCD) and, at last, the Sectoral Advisory Group on International Trade (SAGIT) can be found.
