Abstract
The article analyses the non-recognition of the right to access to culture under EU law and its partial and indirect European implementation which reduced this human right to a right to access cultural markets of other Member States without discrimination. It shows that the asymmetry that exists on the European level favouring, one the one hand, non-political decision making over political processes, and, on the other hand, negative on positive integration, weaken national policies promoting access to culture without allowing space for specific European policies encouraging access to culture for all Europeans, because of the restricted nature of the EU competences in cultural matters.
