The European Commission seeks the views of all interested parties on how to make Europe's audiovisual media landscape fit for purpose in the digital age. In a public consultation launched recently, the Commission will get feedback on the current framework regulating Europe's audiovisual media landscape (the so-called Audiovisual Media Services Directive – AVMSD), on issues like:

How well do you think the current audiovisual framework works? Should we improve it and how? - what roles and responsibilities should market players (like TV broadcasters, on-demand service providers, internet services, telecom operators, etc.) have? - how can we best protect viewers (particularly children), promote European works and access to information, regulate advertising in the audiovisual online world? This consultation seeks concrete experience and feedback from stakeholders (market players, public organisations, consumer organisations) but also from viewers themselves, as users of audiovisual media services like TV channels and online services like BBC iplayer, Sky Go Zattoo, etc. The consultation is part of the Digital Single Market strategy which foresees a review of this Directive in 2016. Which would your contribution to the Public Consultation on the AVMSD that covers the issues above referred?
