lpv:translated text	"Thank you, Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen. This issue is a difficult one and is undergoing constant change. I must thank Mr Perry for his work, and yet I am unsure whether or not this Directive needs to be revised. This has been stated clearly both by those working in the industry and by the Commission. This current issue comes up against the problem of definition and apprehension raised by the transfer of images, the development and acceleration of which we have not yet managed to control. What worries me is the absence of a definition of a ‘work’. The Television without Frontiers Directive provides a negative definition. We know what it is not. It is not information, it is not advertising, it is not this, it is not that. It is produced by X or made by Y. I, myself, would prefer – and I believe that some of those working in the industry would also prefer – to know what it is. That would perhaps make it easier to settle the ongoing debate in France and other European countries on reality television. The problem is defining the scope of audiovisual works. Some works are very easy to define, such as documentaries and films, but not all are. I do not know how to define reality television and this is a serious concern. The second point raised by this debate is the movement of works. The movement of works and artists is a recurring problem in the field of culture, as I highlighted in the report on the performing arts. In the context of Television without Frontiers, it is magnified as a result of concentration and the non-national nature of the sector. How can we promote non-national works in each of our countries? We will have to give our opinion on this fundamental problem. Mr Perry, you paid a great deal of attention in your report to the question of media concentration, which can prevent the movement of non-national works. I am very pleased that you stress this point as, in my view, it is vitally important and something we must look at very seriously indeed."@en1
