WRITTEN QUESTION E-0104/00 by Markus Ferber (PPE-DE) to the Commission (26 January 2000) Subject: Allocation of Media II Programme appropriations to different Member States The Media II Programme assists audiovisual projects. It covers three main areas of activity: training, project development, and the marketing and distribution of European film and television productions in other Member States. What amounts have the different Member States received in assistance for the above three areas of activity since the programme's launch? Why? Answer given by Mrs Reding on behalf of the Commission (2 March 2000) The Honourable Member is asked to refer to the Commission report on the results obtained under the MEDIA II programme (1996-2000) from 1 January 1996 to 30 June 1998(1), forwarded to Parliament on 16 March 1999. More specifically, beneficiaries are selected by the Commission in accordance with the arrangements laid down by Council Decisions 95/564/EC of 22 December 1995 on the implementation of a training programme for professionals in the European audiovisual programme industry (Media II Training)(2) and 95/563/EC of 10 July 1995 on the implementation of a programme encouraging the development and distribution of European audiovisual works (Media II Development and Distribution) (1996-2000)(3). The projects co-financed by the Commission are not selected on the basis of nationality or Member State of origin but by virtue of their quality and European added value. Calls for proposals are published in the Official Journal. Guidelines are laid down, setting out the various eligibility and selection criteria. A final report will be forwarded to Parliament when the MEDIA II programme has run its course, at the end of 2000. (1) COM(99) 91 final. (2) OJ L 321, 30.12.1995. (3) OJ L 321, 30.12.1995.
