lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Commissioner, we particularly welcome today's Commission communication, but we note the fact that this important issue was put on the agenda for plenary at the last minute, without first notifying the competent Committee on Culture and Education about the individual provisions you are announcing. We also welcome the fact that the proposal for a directive refers mainly to the audiovisual content of television. I should like to comment on certain points. The review of the directive and the enlargement of its scope to non-linear media must not result in the watering down of its regulatory arrangements. The safeguarding of the principle of cultural diversity and pluralism is necessary, irrespective of the medium by which the audiovisual content is transmitted. Compliance with the quotas for European works and works by independent producers must remain at the epicentre of the directive. We need to strengthen the arrangements in the directive relating to advertising and the protection of minors. It more or less says that the existing regime will remain. We cannot put the interests of the industry before viewers' rights and the quality of television, nor can we expect the market to regulate these important issues on its own. The title of 'audiovisual without frontiers' is correct. In brief, we need a directive which will give European television the necessary balance between quality and ratings."@en1
