vernacular forms of cultural expression, festivals and the culture industries, including inter alia the use
of new technologies – the Parties undertake, within the territory in which such languages are used and to

languages by aiding and developing translation, dubbing, post- synchronisation and subtitling
activities;

c to foster access in regional or minority languages to works produced in other languages by aiding
and developing translation, dubbing, post-synchronisation and subtitling activities;

make appropriate allowance for incorporating the knowledge and use of regional or minority
languages and cultures in the undertakings which they initiate or for which they provide backing;

activities have at their disposal staff who have a full command of the regional or minority language

language in providing facilities and planning cultural activities;

economic, social, technical or legal terminology in each regional or minority language.

2 In respect of territories other than those in which the regional or minority languages are traditionally used,
