Amendment 60 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 16
Recital 16
(16) Product placement should not be admissible in news and current affairs programmes, consumer affairs programmes, religious programmes and, educational programmes, sport programmes or other types of programmes with a significant children’s audience. In particular, 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.

(31) When taking the appropriate measures to protect 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 right to private property, the freedom of expression and information, the freedom to conduct a business, the prohibition of discrimination and the right of the child.
