This report gathers policy and regulatory developments at EU level covered by Cullen International’s Digital Economy and Media services during the last week. It also lists events taking place this week.
The Canadian broadcasting regulator, the Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC), adopted non-binding guidelines for consulting with language minority communities in broadcasting proceedings. CRTC seeks to better engage with English speakers in the French-majority province of Quebec and with French speakers in the rest of Canada (where English is the majority language) when regulating broadcasting or designing broadcasting policies.
The Commission adopted non-binding guidelines on implementing the declaration functionality for media service providers under article 18 of the European Media Freedom Act and clarifying its scope.
The action plan mainly builds on enforcing existing legal instruments, such as new measures to improve the reporting systems of online platforms under the Digital Services Act. It also foresees the roll-out of an online safety app for reporting cyberbullying to a national helpline, sending evidence and receiving help.
Questions include whether there is a need for targeted rules for influencers, for clarifications on the interplay with the Digital Services Act, or for mandatory rules on the prominence of audiovisual, radio, or press services of general interest on smart televisions or video-sharing platforms.
Participants agreed that the country-of-origin based regime enshrined in the Audiovisual Media Services Directive has proven to be successful. They debated potential challenges such as those around the interplay with other relevant regulatory frameworks, or the cross-border enforcement of rules for VSPs.
