lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Commissioner, in the first place, I would like to offer some background information which seems to me to be useful, although some of it has already been mentioned. The European Audiovisual Observatory, as has been said, was set up in 1992, under the initial auspices of the Audiovisual Eureka programme. At that time it was laid down – and I quote – that “the aim of the Observatory will be to improve the transfer of information within the audiovisual industry and promote a clearer vision of the market, as well as greater transparency. Specifically the task of the Observatory will consist of collecting and processing information and statistics relating to the audiovisual sector”. Furthermore, in 1997, the European Council commented on the Observatory by saying: “Its services must be directed principally towards the needs of the professionals in the industry”. Therefore, on this basis, Commissioner and Mr President, I wish to ask both the Commission and the Observatory itself to remain faithful to this founding principle. Although it is not the case with the Observatory, there currently exists a tendency towards the easy option. Let me explain: it is a reality that many structures and organisations end up tied to their public funding body, and this situation tends to take them away from their objective, which in this case is public service and assistance for professionals in the audiovisual sector. Many people have not heard of the Observatory. For this reason, I believe it to be appropriate, on the one hand, that the Observatory makes a greater effort to attract the interest of professionals, substantially reducing their increasing dependency on the request for their services on the part of the Commission. In that way their resources would be increased through the provision of services to professionals and greater autonomy would be achieved. This requires objectives and efforts. On the other hand, it would be suitable for the Commission to obtain, from external specialists, a periodic review of the efficiency and acceptance of the Observatory’s services amongst professionals, for example, by means of surveys."@en1
