"TV is now an essential part of daily life. With viewing averaging three hours per day, it is the most extensive human activity after sleep and – for adults – work.
Changes at work, like more working women and more flexible hours, mean children are increasingly left alone with the small screen. There are various solutions, but none is satisfactory.
A self-regulation code for professionals is an excellent solution, however. I feel that this is the right direction.
As the rapporteur has stressed, parental control must not end with TV. Children are also great consumers of the Internet and video games. The approach must include all forms of image transmission.
I have voted firmly in favour of Mrs Angelilli’s report. She spells out the difficulties of operating at Community level, when every Member State has its own history and its own special relationship with its national television. Individual cultural features are reflected in the content of programmes. Furthermore, the definitions of child and minor differ from one legal system to another.
I also support the amendments from the Group of the European Liberal, Democrat and Reform Party which contribute useful details on ‘who does what’."@en1
