Have your say on the review of the Satellite and Cable Directive
In a public consultation
launched today, the European Commission aims at evaluating if EU rules
on copyright licensing for TV and radio broadcasting by satellite and
cable are still up-to-date in our online environment. It will also look
into whether the rules have helped European citizens to get
better access to TV and radio content from other Member States. The
consultation should gather views in the light of the foreseen review of
the 1993 EU Satellite and Cable Directive, one of the 16 initiatives announced in May in the Commission's plan for the Digital Single Market. In
particular, the consultation will assess if the "EU SatCabDirective"
has facilitated consumers' cross-border access to broadcasting
services within the Internal Market. It also seeks views on the possible
extension of these rules to certain online content services as part of
the broader EU objective to enhance cross-border access to online
content services in the EU. To remove other barriers in the Digital
Single Market, the Commission is already undertaking a consultation on
the Audio-visual Media Services Directive (AVMSD), which guaranties the
principle of free transmission and reception of television broadcasts
or on-demand services across the EU. Furthermore, the Commission will in
the coming weeks launch various public debates on such topics
as eGovernment, online platforms, geo-blocking and EU telecoms rules.
