Consulting on the TWF Directive
The UK public consultation on the European Commission’s proposals to amend the Television without Frontiers Directive - now to be known as the Audiovisual Media Services Directive (AVMS) - opened today.
The consultation documents and full details on how to respond are available on the DCMS website here.
The consultation documents include:
- a partial regulatory impact assessment of the Commission’s proposals
- an issues grid which details the changes to the regulation of audiovisual services which would appear to result from the Commission’s proposals
- a list of consultation questions
- an unofficial ‘consolidated version’ of the amended Directive.
Shaun Woodward, the new Minister for Broadcasting, has commented on the consultation in a press notice available here.
The consultation will run until Friday 8 September 2006.
