Summary/Abstract: The cultural heritage is a domain of major importance in the European Union’s area of concerns. Its protection, preservation, consolidation and promotion are a priority theme of the EU legislation and policies. The priority status is reflected on the legal level through the legislative provisions, through the references to the “cultural and linguistic diversity”, to “the European cultural heritage”, and to “the cultural, religious and humanist inheritance of Europe”. Its regime of a major theme is also translated into the policies of the European Union through a series of programmes addressed to the European cultural heritage. Among these programmes, of which the most important are: Raphael, Culture 2000, European Capital of Culture, Creative Europe, a programme of special importance, by its substance and scope, is the European Year of the Cultural Heritage 2018, established by the Decision (EU) 2017/864 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 May 2017.
