Europeiswidelyrecognisedashavingarichdiversityinitsculturalheritageandculturalexpressions.However,inrecentyearsEuropehasbeenconfrontedwithseveralmacro‐economicchallenges,suchasthePinancialcrisisandastrongerglobalcompetition,aswellasinternalsocio‐economicchallenges.TheEurope2020StrategyhighlightedtheneedforourcontinenttotakeaninnovativepathtorespondtothesechallengesbybuildingupononeofEurope’skeystrengths;itstalentedanddiversecreativepopulation:1

We have estimated the economic contributions of the creative industries at a national level for the five main European countries (the UK, France, Germany, Italy and Spain), representing three-fourths of European GDP contributions. The core creative industries can be assessed with the same methodology as at the European level.
Regarding the non-core creative industries, there is a technical difficulty in determining the weight of the non-core industries on a country level because of gaps in the Eurostat data, which form the basis of the calculation. To overcome this limitation we
1.3. !CONCLUSION
Our analysis of the weight of the creative industries based on the KEA findings and the WIPO Guidelines provides a more complete assessment of the true scope of these industries in Europe, exceeding previously reported results. We estimate that the creative industries represent a major European economic force, corresponding to 6.9% of European GDP, and 6.5% of the European workforce. This translates into !860 billion revenues and 14 million jobs, reinforcing the importance of these sectors to Europe’s economy. The creative industries’ economic contribution is comparable to other key traditional industries, like automotive, and with greater weight than utilities or chemical industries. This major European economic area is being challenged by the threat of piracy.
calculated the “core/non-core” ratio observed at the European level, resulting in the non-core industries representing 54% of the value added of the core creative industries and 70% of the employment of the core creative industries. We then applied this ratio at a national level.
Given this procedure, these results shall be considered with caution. However, our assumptions remain valid since the objective is to provide orders of magnitude of the weight of creative industries in order to portray the economic ecosystem at risk from widespread piracy.
