French Community
The fields included in Table 3 do not cover the full range of the subjects, nor do they cover the full range of the budget of the Directorate-General of Culture and the General Service for audio-visual production, hence there is no percentage distribution.
A complete Table 4 is suggested below.
Reminder: immovable heritage is managed by the regions, and is therefore not included in the tables below.

A few comments:
Educational activities are managed in each area: it is therefore not possible to differentiate them.
International activities are mainly handled by the CGRI.
The cultural centres representing a significant area of activities appear under the "other" heading.
"Radio and television" includes the RTBF grant, which represents the highest slice of the budget: 175 653 000 EUR.
The "Cocof" (Brussels French Community Commission) grant appears under the heading "not allocable by domain".
