This call for proposals is based on Council Decision 2000/821/EC on the implementation of a programme encouraging the development, distribution and promotion of European audiovisual works (Media Plus — Development, distribution and promotion 2001 to 2006), adopted by the Council on 20 December 2000 and published in the Official Journal of the European Communities on 17 January 2001 (OJ L 13, pages 34 to 43). The proposition to prolong the MEDIA programme until 31 December 2006 was approved by the Council of Ministers on 26 April 2004.
In the distribution sector, the objective of the programme is to strengthen the distribution sector for European works on video intended for private use, by encouraging publishers to invest in digital technology and the promotion of non-domestic European works.
