Many Member States are still in the process of transposing the 2018 revision, and there is no clear evidence of market failure that would justify a structural reopening the #AVMSD. 🛑

Very good exchange today with stakeholders on the implementation of the #AVMSD and suggestions for its review, in line with our objectives of simplification and modernisation.

The discussion will feed into the next steps of the Directive’s revision.

On the same day, the EU Commission launched an infringement procedure against #Hungary for failing to implement the European Media Freedom Act #EMFA + the Audiovisual Media Services Directive #AVMSD:

"Hungary does not comply with provisions re interference in the work of #journalists", "restricting their economic activities and editorial freedom."

Nor "offer adequate protection of journalistic sources & confidential comms, nor effective judicial protection when these rights are breached."

Performative DSA risk assessments and #AVMSD updates: 57 MEPs from five political groups are urging the Commission to defend the Audiovisual Media Services Directive against the US. https://www.euractiv.com/section/tech/news/performative-dsa-risk-assessments-and-avmsd-updates/?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=dlvr.it
