“However, I find it alarming that only 5% of all digitized books in the EU are available on Europeana.I also note that almost half of Europeana's digitized works have come from one country alone, while all other Member States continue to under-perform dramatically.”

Viviane Reding, EU Commissioner for Information Society and Media, 28 August 2009
