Amendment 85 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 12
Paragraph 12
12. Considers it appropriate to maintain the European quota targets as minimum targets at their current level; points out that this is a mechanism the aim of which is to promote cultural diversity and stimulate European creation; stresses, however, that because of the late transposition of the revised AMS Directive by the Member States it is still too early to draw conclusions regarding implementation of Article 13, and in particular the provisions thereof on a minimum share of European works that providers of on- demand audiovisual media services should include in their catalogues, or provisions on financial contributions; calls on the Commission to carry out as soon as possible an assessment of the real impact of those provisions on cultural diversity and the promotion of European and independent creation; calls on the Commission to analyse the need for any future changes to the minimum thresholds for European works in the catalogues of providers of on-demand audiovisual media services in conjunction with the necessary assessment of the relevance of the criteria defining a European work; takes the view that, in order to define a European work, criteria such as ownership of intellectual property rights and authorisations for usage by European creators and producers could be taken into account, thus allowing them to retain artistic control over their works; considers that that can help to ensure greater fairness in terms of contractual links between European creators and large platforms;
Amendment 94 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 12 a (new)
Paragraph 12 a (new)
12a. Stresses that practices such as the acquisition by platforms, in perpetuity, of all intellectual property rights of European creators and producers can have a negative impact on cultural diversity; calls on the Commission to consider, in connection with any potential revision of the AMS Directive by 2026, measures to enhance enforcement of intellectual property rights;

Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 13 a (new)

Amendment 131 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 13 b (new)
Paragraph 13 b (new)
13b. Stresses that the principle of licence fee territoriality, which is inherent to the audiovisual sector's funding model, plays a crucial role with regard to cultural diversity in that it prevents concentration of dominant players on the market, which would be detrimental to independent, alternative offerings; therefore restates the need to safeguard that principle and to keep audiovisual media services outside the scope of Regulation 2018/302, ensuring the sustainability of a diversified audiovisual offering and thus complementing the objectives of the AMS Directive;
Amendment 133 #
13c. Points out that data collection by platforms on the use of audiovisual works offers them considerable competitive advantages; calls on the Commission to seek appropriate solutions to this market imbalance and ensure that audiovisual services are able to access data relating to use of their own content;
