FoMC took part in European Solutions for a Competitive Music Sector at the European Parliament in Brussels.

The event brought together policymakers and music sector representatives to discuss how EU policy can better support artists, independent businesses, venues, festivals, managers, labels and music organisations across Europe.

Key topics included touring barriers, withholding tax, VAT, market concentration, access to data and finance, AI, discoverability and fair remuneration.

For FoMC, the discussion strongly connects with our ongoing work around cross-border circulation, dedicated music support, export and B2B activities, and the need for a European Music Observatory.

A strong and competitive European music sector needs fair conditions, sustainable structures and real opportunities for music to travel across borders.

Thank you to EMMA and all partners involved for bringing this important conversation to Brussels.

Europe’s music sector needs dedicated, targeted support.
The Federation of Music Conferences is proud to be among the 26 European music organisations supporting the AgoraEU draft report by MEPs Rafowicz and Kuhnke, which recognises music as a dedicated strand within the future EU cultural programme.
This is an important step forward.
Music is one of Europe’s most visible and widely accessed cultural forms, but it depends on a fragile ecosystem of independent artists, NGOs, SMEs, venues, festivals, educators, export offices, managers, publishers, composers, performers and many other actors.
A dedicated music strand can help address key structural challenges, including market concentration, platform dominance, opaque streaming systems, AI disruption, limited cross-border circulation, unequal access to finance and the need for better working conditions and social protection.
The proposed earmarking of 15% of the cultural budget for music is a very welcome milestone. But it must be understood as a floor, not a ceiling.
For AgoraEU to deliver real impact, the music strand needs sufficient funding, strong governance, structured dialogue with the sector and practical tools such as a European Music Observatory.
FoMC welcomes this progress and calls on EU institutions to build on it during the negotiations.

The Federation of Music Conferences (FoMC) supports the current AgoraEU draft report by MEPs Emma Rafowicz and Alice Kuhnke and its proposal for a dedicated Music strand within future EU cultural funding.
At a time when cultural funding risks becoming increasingly consolidated across sectors, earmarked support for music is essential to preserve the diversity, sustainability and international connectivity of Europe’s music ecosystems.
FoMC particularly welcomes the report’s focus on mobility, professional exchange, cross-border collaboration and the next generation of music professionals.
Music conferences and showcase festivals are not only events, but essential infrastructures for knowledge exchange, innovation and ecosystem building across Europe.
