"Mr President, I warmly welcome the release of this new proposal. I would like the Commissioner to confirm that it will continue to be called the Television Without Frontiers Directive, in modernised form. I believe the original proposal for a name was very confusing.
I should like ask the Commissioner whether she thinks she is being radical enough, given the pace of technology. Having seen a number of developments – including when we were together in Tunis recently – it is my view that that the distinction between linear and non-linear is getting more and more blurred and that more and more consumers are going to access what were traditional broadcast programmes at whatever time they want, as they will be stored automatically on their digital video recorders. Indeed, we will be carrying them to Parliament in our iPods or whatever other digital mechanism we use. So does the Commissioner really think that this is radical enough?
Secondly, I noted that she said she was looking for a light-touch approach, a lack of red tape and technological neutrality, all of which are principles of the excellent Communications Framework Directive we have now, which is vitally important. Does the Commissioner believe that she has the right balance of these in this directive and that it will stand the test of time in the way that the Communications Framework Directive already has?"@en1
