Dear Friend of Europeana

You’ve probably heard that a drastic cut was made in the budget for the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF) from 9 billion to 1 billion euros.

Many of you responded to our recent request to send letters to your MEPs, to national contacts in Brussels and to your own government ministers and we thank you hugely for that.
