lpv:translated text	"The Veltroni report on behalf of the Committee on Culture, Youth, Education, the Media and Sport is certainly an improvement on the Commission communication on the ‘principles and guidelines for the Community’s audiovisual policy in the digital age’. The important aspects of the intervention of the European Union are: 1) The global competitiveness of European industry, especially in relation to the USA, must be combined with a guarantee of pluralism and cultural diversity. 2) The increased effectiveness of the measures contained in Directive 89/552/ΕEC on ‘Television without Frontiers’, concerning the promotion of European works. 3) The promotion of linguistic diversity. 4) The protection of minors using new programme control methods. 5) The creation of a European forum on cooperation in matters of transparency and the development of strategies to address market concentrations. 6) The support of the public audiovisual sector with the option of broadcasting on a global scale. 7) The promotion of an internal market for the cinema with the issue of a new directive. I shall be voting for the Veltroni report, as it is a considerable improvement on the Communication from the Commission. But I do have two reservations. The first has to do with the notion of rivalry, which may justify major concentrations and groupings of audiovisual media in the name of becoming stronger than the Americans, and may extend the Berlusconi phenomenon. The second concerns the lack of compliance and control mechanisms to ensure that the political aims of the European Parliament do not once again remain mere wishes, which is often the case with the successive amendments to the ‘Television without Frontiers’ Directive."@en1
