Amendment 29 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 7
(7) In its Communication to the European Parliament and to the Council on Better Regulation for Better Results – an EU Agenda31, the Commission stressed that when considering policy solutions, it will consider both regulatory and well- designed non-regulatory means, modelled on the Community of practice and the Principles for Better Self- and Co- regulation32. A number of codes set up in the areas coordinated by the Directive have proved to be well designed, in line with the Principles for Better Self- and Co- regulation, which may constitute a useful ancillary or complementary means for legislative action. The existence of a legislative backstop has been considered an important success factor in promoting compliance with a self- or co-regulatory code. It is equally important that the codes establish specific targets and objectives allowing for the regular, transparent and independent monitoring and evaluation of the objectives aimed by the codes. Graduated sanctions which maintain an element of proportionality are usually considered to be an effective approach in enforcing a scheme. These principles should be followed by the self- and co- regulatory codes adopted in the areas coordinated by this Directive. _________________ 31 COM(2015) 215 final.

Amendment 32 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 9
(9) In order to empower viewers, including parents and vulnerable groups such as minors, in making informed decisions about the content to be watched, it is necessary that audiovisual media service providers provide sufficient information about content that may impair minors’ physical, mental or moral development of vulnerable groups such as minors. This could be done, for instance, through a system of content descriptors indicating the nature of the content. Content descriptors could be delivered through written, graphical or acoustic means.

(10) Certain widely recognised nutritional guidelines exist at national and international level, such as the WHO Regional Office for Europe’s nutrient profile model, in order to differentiate foods on the basis of their nutritional composition in the context of foods television advertising to vulnerable groups such as children. Member States should be encouraged to ensure that self-regulation and co-regulatory codes of conduct are used to effectively preducevent the exposure of vulnerable groups such as children and minors to audiovisual commercial communications regarding foods and beverages that are high in salt, sugars or fat or that otherwise do not fit these national or international nutritional guidelines.

(11) Similarly, Member States should be encouraged to ensure that self-regulation and co- regulatory codes of conduct are used to effectively limit the exposure of childrprevent and minors to audiovisual commercial communications for alcoholic beverages. Certain co-regulatory or self-regulatory systems exist at Union and national level in order to market responsibly alcoholic beverages, including in audiovisual commercial communications. Those systems should be further encouraged, in particular those aiming at ensuring that responsible drinking messages accompanylimit the exposure of vulnerable groups such as children and minors to audiovisual commercial communications for alcoholic beverages.

Amendment 49 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 12
(12) In order to remove barriers to the free circulation of cross-border services within the Union, it is necessary to ensure the effectiveness of self- and co-regulatory measures aiming, in particular, at protecting consumers or public health. When well enforced and monitored, codes of conduct at Union level might be a good means of ensuring a more coherent and effective approach.

Amendment 53 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 13
(13) The market for TV broadcasting has evolved and that there is a need for more flexibility with regard to audiovisual commercial communications, in particular for quantitative rules for linear audiovisual media services, product placement and sponsorship. The emergence of new services, including without advertising, has led to a greater choice for viewers, who can easily switch to alternative offers.deleted

Amendment 55 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 14
(14) Sponsorship represents an important means of financing audiovisual media services or programmes while promoting a legal or physical person’s name, trade mark, image, activities or products. As such, for sponsorship to constitute a valuable form of advertising technique for advertisers and audiovisual media service providers, sponsorship announcements can contain promotional references to the goods or services of the sponsor, while not directly encouraging the purchase of the goods and services. Sponsorship announcements should continue to clearly inform the viewers of the existence of a sponsorship agreement. The content of sponsored programmes should not be influenced in such a way as to affect the audiovisual media service provider’s editorial independence.

Amendment 56 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 15
(15) The liberalisation of product placement has not brought about the expected take-up of this form of audiovisual commercial communication. In particular, the general prohibition of product placement with some exceptions has not created legal certainty for audiovisual media service providers. Product placement should thus be allowed in all audiovisual media services, subject to exceptions.deleted
2016/12/02
Committee: ENVI
Amendment 59 #
(16) Product placement should not be admissible in news and current affairs programmes, consumer affairs programmes, religious programmes and programmes with a significant children’s audience. In particular, ein general not be admissible. Evidence shows that product placement and embedded advertisements can affect children’s behaviour as children are often not able to recognise the commercial content. There is thus a need to continue to prohibit product placement in programmes with a significant children’s audience. Consumer affairs programmes are programmes offering advice to viewers, or including reviews on the purchase of products and services. Allowing product placement in such programmes would blur the distinction between advertising and editorial content for viewers who may expect a genuine and honest review of products or services in such programmes.

Committee: ENVI
Amendment 65 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 17
(17) The rule that a product should not be given undue prominence has proved difficult to apply in practice. It also restricts the take-up of product placement which, by definiProduct placement should continue to be banned in general. Where any derogation, involves some level of prominent exposure to be able to generate value. Ts provided for in law, the requirements for programmes containing product placement should thus focus on clearly informing the viewers of the existence of product placement and on ensuring that the audiovisual media service provider’s editorial independence is not affected.

Amendment 69 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 19
(19) While this Directive does not increase the overall amount of admissible advertising time during the period from 7:00 to 23:00, it is important for broadcasters to have more flexibility and to be able to decide when to place advertising in order to maximise advertisers’ demand and viewers’ flow. The hourly limit should thus be abolished while a daily limit of 20% of advertising within the period from 7:00 to 23:00 should be introduced.deleted

Amendment 74 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 26
(26) There are new challenges, in particular in connection with audiovisual media services such as video- sharing platforms, on which users - particularly vulnerable groups such as minors - increasingly consume audiovisual content. In this context, harmful content and hate speech stored on video-sharing platforms have increasingly given rise to concern. It is necessary, in order to protect minors from harmful content and all citizens from content containing incitement to violence or hatred, to set out proportionate rules on those matters.

Committee: ENVI
Amendment 78 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 27
(27) As regards commercial communications on audiovisual media services providers such as video-sharing platforms, they are already regulated by Directive 2005/29/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council, which prohibits unfair business-to-consumer commercial practices, including misleading and aggressive practices occurring in information society services. As regards commercial communications concerning tobacco and related products in video- sharing platforms, the existing prohibitions provided for in Directive 2003/33/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council, as well as the prohibitions applicable to communications concerning e-cigarettes and refill containers pursuant to Directive 2014/40/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council, ensure that consumers are sufficiently protected. The measures set out in this Directive therefore complement those set out in Directives 2005/29/EC, 2003/33/EC and 2014/40/EU.

Amendment 80 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 28
(28) An important share of the content stored on video-sharing platforms is not under the editorial responsibility of the video-sharing platform provider. However, those providers typically determine the organisation of the content, namely programmes or user-generated videos, including by automatic means or algorithms. Therefore, those providers should be required to take appropriate measures to protect vulnerable groups such as minors from content that may impair their physical, mental or moral development and protect all citizens from incitement to violence or hatred directed against a group of persons or a member of such a group defined by reference to sex, race, colour, religion, descent or national or ethnic origin.

Committee: ENVI
Amendment 82 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 29
(29) In light of the nature of the providers’ involvement with the content stored on video-sharing platforms, those appropriate measures should relate to the organisation of the content and not to the content as such. The requirements in this regard as set out in this Directive should therefore apply without prejudice to Article 14 of Directive 2000/31/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council34 , which provides for an exemption from liability for illegal information stored by certain providers of information society services. When providing services covered by Article 14 of Directive 2000/31/EC, those requirements should also apply without prejudice to Article 15 of that Directive, which precludes general obligations to monitor such information and to actively seek facts or circumstances indicating illegal activity from being imposed on those providers, without however concerning monitoring obligations in specific cases and, in particular, without affecting orders by national authorities in accordance with national legislation. _________________ 34Directive 2000/31/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 8 June 2000 on certain legal aspects of information society services, in particular electronic commerce, in the Internal Market (OJ L 178, 17.07.2000, p. 1).deleted

Amendment 83 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 30
(30) It is appropriate to involve the audiovisual media services providers such as video-sharing platform providers as much as possible when implementing the appropriate measures to be taken pursuant to this Directive. Co-regulation should therefore be encouraged. With a view to ensuring a clear and consistent approach in this regard across the Union, Member States should not be entitled to require audiovisual media services providers such as video-sharing platform providers to take stricter measures to protect vulnerable groups such as minors from harmful content and all citizens from content containing incitement to violence or hatred than the ones provided for in this Directive. However, it should remain possible for Member States to take such stricter measures where that content is illegal, provided that they comply with Articles 14 and 15 of Directive 2000/31/EC, and to take measures with respect to content on websites containing or disseminating child pornography, as required by and allowed under Article 25 of Directive 2011/93/EU of the European Parliament and the Council35 . It should also remain possible for audiovisual media services providers such as video-sharing platform providers to take stricter measures on a voluntary basis. _________________ 35 Directive 2011/93/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 December 2011 on combating the sexual abuse and sexual exploitation of children and child pornography, and replacing Council Framework Decision 2004/68/JHA (OJ L 335, 17.12.2011, p. 1).

Amendment 85 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 31
(31) When taking the appropriate measures to protect vulnerable groups such as minors from harmful content and to protect all citizens from content containing incitement to violence or hatred in accordance with this Directive, the applicable fundamental rights, as laid down in the Charter on Fundamental Rights of the European Union, should be carefully balanced. That concerns in particular, as the case may be, the right to respect for private and family life and the protection of personal data, the freedom of expression and information, the freedom to conduct a business, the prohibition of discrimination and the right of the person belonging to a vulnerable group such as a child.

Amendment 89 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 32
(32) The audiovisual media service providers such as video-sharing platform providers covered by this Directive provide information society services within the meaning of point (a) of Article 2 of Directive 2000/31/EC. Those providers are consequently subject to the rules on the internal market set out in Article 3 of that Directive, if they are established in a Member State. It is appropriate to ensure that the same rules apply to audiovisual media services providers such as video- sharing platform providers which are not established in a Member State with a view to safeguarding the effectiveness of the measures to protect vulnerable groups such as minors and citizens set out in this Directive and ensuring a level playing field in as much as possible, in as far as those providers have either a parent company or a subsidiary which is established in a Member State or where those providers are part of a group and another entity of that group is established in a Member State. To that effect, arrangements should be made to determine in which Member State those providers should be deemed to have been established. The Commission should be informed of the providers under each Member State’s jurisdiction in application of the rules on establishment set out in this Directive and in Directive 2000/31/EC.

Proposal for a directive
Recital 37
(37) The Commission should be free to consult ERGA on any matter relating to audiovisual media services and video- sharing platforms. ERGA should assist the Commission by providing its expertise and advice and by facilitating exchange of best practices. In particular, the Commission should consult ERGA in the application of Directive 2010/13/EU with a view to facilitating its convergent implementation across the Digital Single Market. Upon the Commission’s request, ERGA should provide opinions, including on jurisdiction and Union codes of conduct in the area of protection of vulnerable groups such as minors and hate speech as well as audiovisual commercial communications for foods high in fat, salt/sodium and sugars.
