Proposal for a regulation
Recital 7 a (new)
Recital 7 a (new)
(7a) The implementation of the regulatory framework for electronic communications, together with the advances in communication technology and in software, have led to leaps forward in the way that culture and cultural content are distributed and accessed by European citizens. However, the uneven coverage of infrastructure and lock-in effects have also brought deep digital divides. To bridge those divides and prevent the emergence of new ones, in particular in relation to cultural diversity and multilingualism, BEREC, by using appropriate tools for the scale of the issues, is one of the institutions that need to factor in the broader cultural and social impact when issuing guidelines, opinions and other types of texts.
