"I voted for the report on the online distribution of audiovisual works in the European Union.
The fragmentation of the online market is characterised by technological barriers, the complexity of licensing procedures, differences in payment methods, the lack of interoperability for crucial elements and by variations in the rates of certain taxes applicable to goods and services. I think that there is currently a need for a transparent, flexible and harmonised approach at European level in order to advance towards the digital single market. I should stress that the digital divide between Member States or regions of the EU poses a serious barrier to the development of the digital single market. I recommend expanding broadband Internet access throughout the EU with a view to encouraging access to online services and new technologies.
Using content online can provide a real opportunity to broadcast and distribute European works more widely, especially audiovisual works, at a time when the legal supply of such material can be developed in a climate of fair competition. I call on Member States and the Commission to promote solutions aimed at supporting the digitisation, preservation and availability of these works for educational purposes, including across borders."@en1
