APPLICATION
OF ARTICLE 13 IN EACH MEMBER STATE
INTRODUCTION
During the latest revision of Directive 89/552/EEC (‘Television
without Frontiers’) its scope was enlarged to include non-linear services. It
was deemed that these services should also aim at promoting European works and
cultural diversity, like television services. However, due to the nascent and
specific nature of on-demand services the obligations placed on them by the new
AVMS Directive[1]
are lighter than the obligations imposed on linear services. Article 13 imposes
an obligation to promote the production of and access to European works in
on-demand services and provides examples of means of promotion: financial
contribution to the production and rights acquisition of European works, or the
share and/or prominence of European works in the catalogues offered by the
service providers. Member States are obliged to report on the application of Article
13 every four years as from December 2011. The present document accompanies the Commission’s first report on
the application of Article 13 for the period 2009-2010. Pursuant to Article 13
the report is based both on data provided by the Member States and on an
independent study conducted in 2011[2] (hereinafter
referred to as 'the Study'). Its purpose was to analyse the state of play in
terms of implementation of Article 13 in the EU Member States at the end of
2010 as well as the state of development of on-demand service markets
throughout the EU. It also aimed at providing information on the content of EU
non-linear services and helping the Commission with the setting up of performance
indicators for the application of Article 13. The Commission identified a series of indicators which were defined
in the questionnaires sent to the national authorities with the invitation to
report on the application of Article 13 for the period 2009-2010. As regards prominence
in particular, several options were mentioned. They are defined below under
paragraph 1.3. These indicators may need to be refined in the future, when on-demand
service markets have expanded and more experience has been gained in monitoring
the application of Article 13. There are two reasons why not all the national reports provided
information on on-demand services[3]:
the absence of operational on-demand services during the reference period or
the belated transposition/implementation of the AVMS Directive. In the latter
case the existing on-demand services were not subject to any obligation
regarding Article 13.
1. APPLICATION OF ARTICLE 13: GENERAL REMARKS
1.1. Monitoring methods in the
Member States
The national reports did not provide much information on monitoring
methods applied by the Member States. The comments received show however that
the monitoring method is no different from the one applied with regard to the
application of Articles 16 and 17. National authorities collect or intend to
collect the data directly from the on-demand service providers, generally on
the basis of a questionnaire. One national report[4] indicated that this
questionnaire was established in cooperation with a self-regulatory body
representing on-demand services. Some national authorities[5] stressed the efforts made to encourage
on-demand service providers to get registered and to make them aware of their
reporting obligation. The regulator of the French Community of Belgium carries
out monitoring of the proportion of 'promotional
occurrences' dedicated to European works. As is the
case for Articles 16 and 17, the results of this monitoring are submitted to
representatives of the audiovisual production industry. In France, the Regulatory Authority CSA informed about spot checks to be carried out in
respect of the share and prominence of European works in catalogues. There may be some differences amongst Member States in respect of
interpretation of the kind of service to be taken into account in the reports
on the application of Article 13. It appears in particular that there is no uniform
view concerning the consideration of 'qualifying' content for monitoring the
implementation of Article 13. The reported services must comply with the definition of 'on-demand
audiovisual media service' contained in Article 1(1)(g) of the AVMS Directive,
which means that services offering audiovisual content only as an ancillary
element (for instance videos illustrating written texts) should not be
reported. By contrast, catch-up TV services constitute on-demand services and as
such must be subject to monitoring and included in the national reports, unless
the programmes offered in on-demand services are exactly the same as those
broadcast on television[6]. Finally, although the wording of Article 13 does not specifically
refer to content such as news, sports events, games, teleshopping and
advertising, the purpose of promoting the production of and access to European
works should be interpreted in the same spirit as for Articles 16 and 17 of the
AVMS Directive. Therefore on-demand services offering exclusively this type of
content should be excluded from the national reports on the application of
Article 13. In the same way the percentage of European works, when applicable,
should in principle be calculated as the percentage of qualifying hours
(excluding news, sports events, games and teleshopping/advertising) of a
catalogue made up of European works. In that respect, some questions have been
raised as to the way this percentage should be calculated[7].
1.2. Obligations set out in national
legislation
In regard to Member States that had transposed the Directive (i.e.
imposed the obligation to promote European works in on-demand services) only
six national reports indicated that the legislation specifies concrete
measures. These measures vary from one Member State to another. One Member State[8] reported the total absence of on-demand services during the
reference period. The breakdown of on-demand services[9] also
varies greatly from one Member State to another and it is difficult to detect a
trend concerning the preferred type of service: six[10] Member
States reported a majority of video-on-demand services, generally with
conditional access; another six[11]
reported a majority of freely accessible catch-up TV services, one[12] reported a combination of catch-up and mixed services accessible
free-of-charge, and another one[13] a
majority of mixed services. Nine reports submitted by Member States did not contain any
information on the application of Article 13 due to belated transposition of
the AVMS Directive. In those cases the national rules transposing the Directive
had not yet been adopted or had not entered into force. Some of these Member
States explained that, due to the absence of any registration obligation[14], the national authorities could not report any on-demand services.
In another case[15] the lack of criteria for defining on-demand services meant that it
was not possible to report on these services during the reference period. As mentioned above, data provided by the national reports are not
complete and not representative enough to enable reliable conclusions to be
drawn on the application of Article 13 by the EU's on-demand service providers.
Despite the lack of concrete obligations set out in national
legislation transposing the Directive, 14 national reports provided some data -
to differing extent - on the modalities of European works promotion put into
practice by on-demand service providers. Information provided by the national
reports can be summarised as follows: All national reports that provided information on the measures
adopted by on-demand service providers to promote European works indicated
quite a high share of European works in catalogues. Averages ranged from 40% (Spain[16]) to 88.9% (Denmark) in 2009 and from 36.4% (Portugal) to 100% (Austria[17]) in 2010. Due to the limited number of national reports and the
very low number of on-demand services (two or three) reported in some Member
States, calculation of EU averages would not produce any significant result. Data
on consumption of European works did not reveal a clear trend: in some Member
States it matched the offer of European works, in Sweden and the UK the consumption rate was higher than the share of European works present in catalogues,
and in another two cases the comparison results varied according to the year.
Five Member States[18] reported financial contributions to European productions and six
national reports[19] indicated the use of some prominence tools[20]. A
majority of services were applying geo-restrictions in six Member States. The Commission can only welcome the presence of a relatively high
share of European works in on-demand services.
1.3. Performance indicators
Pursuant to the obligations set out in the national legislation
transposing the Directive, each Member State decides on the indicators that
on-demand audiovisual service providers will have to report on. Indicators 1 – 10 below are based on the modalities suggested in
Article 13 of the Directive. They have been developed on the basis of the information
provided by the Study conducted in 2011 on the promotion of European works[21] and were subject to practicability
tests. ·
Indicator 1: Financial contribution Indicator 1 is presented as an average proportion for each
individual on-demand service. It is obtained by determining the percentage of the programme budget
of each on-demand service, or turnover, depending on the national legislation,
that was spent in the production and/or acquisition of European works during
the reference period. Compliance is reached when the percentage achieved by an on-demand
service matches the proportion set out in the national legislation. ·
Indicator 2: European works Indicator 2 is presented as an average proportion for each
individual on-demand service. It is obtained by determining the percentage of qualifying hours of
the catalogue made up of European works. Qualifying hours exclude those devoted
to news, sports events, games and commercial communications. Compliance is reached when the percentage achieved by an on-demand
service matches the proportion set out in the national legislation. ·
Indicator 3: Homepage Indicator 3 is presented as an average proportion for each
individual on-demand service. It refers to a way of giving prominence to European works. It is obtained
by determining the percentage of European works promoted on the homepage of the
on-demand service provider. ·
Indicator 4: Country of origin Indicator 4 is presented as an average proportion for each
individual on-demand service. This indicator refers to a way of giving prominence to European
works. It is obtained by determining the percentage of content descriptions including
information on the country of origin of the works offered in a catalogue. ·
Indicator 5: Search Indicator 5 is an individual Boolean value (yes/no) for each
on-demand service. This indicator refers to a way of giving prominence to European
works. It indicates whether or not the service enables the user to browse by
origin the content offered in a catalogue in order to search for European
works. ·
Indicator 6: Tools Indicator 6 is an individual Boolean value (yes/no) for each
on-demand service. This indicator refers to a way of giving prominence to European
works. It indicates whether or not the service provides recommendation tools
about European works. ·
Indicator 7: Sections Indicator 7 is an individual Boolean value (yes/no) for each
on-demand service. This indicator refers to a way of giving prominence to European
works. It indicates whether or not the service includes sections dedicated to
European works. ·
Indicator 8: Trailers Indicator 8 is presented as an average proportion for each
individual on-demand service. This indicator refers to a way of giving prominence to European
works. It is obtained by determining the percentage of programme trailers
presented to the public which promote European works. ·
Indicator 9: Promotions Indicator 9 is presented as an average proportion for each
individual on-demand service. This indicator refers to a way of giving prominence to European
works. It is obtained by determining the percentage of published promotions
concerning European works, either on own user interface or other media. ·
Indicator 10: Compliance Indicator 10 is an individual Boolean value (yes/no) for each
on-demand service. This indicator shows whether or not a service complies with the
obligations set out in the national legislation transposing Article 13.

13 in Belgium – Flemish Community In the Flemish Community there are no obligations for providers of
on-demand audiovisual media services to promote, where practicable and by
appropriate means, the production of and access to European works. 2.1.2. Belgium – French Community 1. Existence of concrete legal obligations The legislation of the French Community of Belgium imposes on all
services a contribution to the financing of the production of European works
(up to 2.2% of turnover). It also sets out for non-linear services a specific
obligation of prominence of European works in the catalogues. The provision
gives a non-exhaustive list of tools for ensuring such prominence. 2. Reported on-demand services No on-demand services were reported in
2009. Two were reported in 2010, both video-on-demand
services with conditional access. 3. Measures adopted for the promotion of
European works The two VOD services reported a financial contribution of
respectively 1.4% and 2.2% as well as the use of several tools intended to give
prominence to the European works (see second table below). The two services also
offered a proportion of respectively 50% and 30% (40% on average) of European
works in their catalogues, although this indicator does not correspond to any
legal obligation. The consumption of European works in these two services was
respectively 46% and 34%, therefore matching the average share of European
works in the catalogues (40% on average). Geo-restrictions were reported. Compliance rate was 100%. Details are to be found in the two tables
and comments below.

13 in Belgium – French Community Prominence (homepage, tools, sections,
trailers, promotion: “Yes/Opt*”) The Audiovisual Media Services Decree which transposes the
Audiovisual Media Services Directive (AVMSD) requires that VOD service
providers put a particular emphasis on European works included in their
catalogue by presenting them attractively. This includes works from the French
Community (Article 46). The commentary on this Article gives a non-exhaustive
list of examples of tools for emphasis such as: advertising inserts, separate
tabs, magazine articles, advertising programmes on self-promotional channels
where these works can be emphasised, while leaving services free to create
their own strategies. Consequently: - the prominence of European works does indeed constitute a general
obligation laid down by law; - the detailed rules, as identified in the table (homepage, tools,
section, trailers, promotion) are left to the choice of the service provider,
using a 'co-regulatory' approach; - implementation of this general obligation is covered by evaluation
in the form of monitoring the proportion of 'promotional occurrences' dedicated
to European works; - this monitoring has allowed identification firstly of the
intensity of certain criteria (consumption of European works, proportion of
European works in the catalogues, general proportion of promotion dedicated to
European works), and secondly of the existence of different measures (section,
tools, trailers). The results of the above monitoring can be
accessed via the links included in foot note[22]
. European works consumption Percentages refer to the proportion of
European films among the 50 most watched films for each of the on-demand
services.
2.2. Bulgaria
Existence of concrete obligations Specific legal
requirements for providers of audiovisual media services are set out in Article
19, paragraph 3 of the Law on Radio and Television. They refer to prominence. Reported on-demand services No on-demand services were reported in 2009. In 2010 four on-demand services were reported in Bulgaria but data was provided for three of them only. The three services were video-on-demand
services with conditional access. Geo-restrictions were reported for one
service only. Measures adopted for the promotion of European works The proportion of European works offered varied from 48% to 100%,
the average share being 75.3%. The reported consumption of European works was
somewhat lower (65.7% in average against 75.3%). Financial contributions ranged
from 18% to 100%. The three services gave prominence to European works promoting them
on their homepage and providing the origin of the works. Other prominence tools
were also used by the three services in a different way, as shown in the tables
below. Compliance rate was 75%. Year || Service || Type || Access || Financial Contribution (%) || Share of Catalogue (%) || Prominence || Compliance 2010 || VOD (Global Communication Net) || VoD || || || No || No || No || VOD (Mobiltel EAD) || VoD || Conditional || 18.0% || 48.0% || Yes || Yes || Pay par view (Skat TV OOD) || VoD || Conditional || 64.0% || 78.0% || Yes || Yes || VOD (Vestitel BG) || VoD || Conditional || 100.0% || 100.0% || Yes || Yes Year || Service || Homepage (%) || Identified Origin (%) || Search || Tools || Sections || Trailers (%) || Promotion (%) 2010 || VOD (Global Communication Net) || || || || || || || || VOD (Mobiltel EAD) || 26.0% || 100.0% || Yes || No || Yes || NC || 15.0% || Pay par view (Skat TV OOD) || 75.0% || 100.0% || No || No || No || 70.0% || NC || VOD (Vestitel BG) || YES || 0.0% || No || No || Yes || 0.0% || 0.0% Comments on the application of Article
13 in Bulgaria Regarding the
implementation of Article 13 of the Directive, data
is being supplied for four out of the 13 non-linear media service providers
registered at the Council for Electronic Media for the period from 1
January 2010 to 31 December 2010. Out of the 13 on-demand services registered
at the end of 2010, nine were not yet operational. This type of information
is being collected for the first time for the European Commission. In Bulgaria’s case, these services are still new and most providers are still at either the
preparatory or the initial stages of their activities. Specific legal
requirements for providers of audiovisual media services are set out in Article
19, paragraph 3 of the Law on Radio and Television. 2.3. Czech
Republic Existence of concrete obligations The Czech legislation sets out the obligation to devote at least 10%
of the total number of qualifying programmes of the catalogue to European works
or to spend at least 1% of revenues to the production or the acquisition of
European works. Reported on-demand services No on-demand service was reported in 2009. 29 services were reported in 2010, five of which were dedicated to
news and therefore not submitted to the above-mentioned obligations. 25
services were catch-up TV services, four were video-on-demand services. The majority
of the services were accessible free-of-charge (24) while five were pay
services. Geo-restrictions were reported for one service only. Measures adopted for the promotion of
European works The proportions of European works offered in the catalogues ranked
from 10% to 100%, as indicated in the table below, the average share being 51.3%.

on the application of Article 13 in the Czech Republic In order to prevent misunderstanding of the provision on the
promotion of European works in audiovisual media services on demand, the
regulatory body (The Council on Radio and Television Broadcasting) has prepared
a form to collect the relevant data. This form was prepared in cooperation with
self-regulatory body representing on demand services (the law foresees the
possibility for the regulatory body to cooperate with self-regulatory bodies on
matters in the scope of the relevant law). It can be said that first year of the application of this form
helped the providers to fill in the data, and also the regulatory body to
collect the necessary information in an unified way which meant easier
preparation of the data.
2.4. Germany
Existence of concrete obligations The German legislation does not set out any
concrete obligation (see comments below) Reported on-demand services No on-demand services were reported Measures adopted for the promotion of
European works No statistical data were provided. Comments
on the application of Article 13 in Germany 1. Article 13(1) of the AVMSD calls for the
Member States to ensure, 'where practicable and by appropriate means',
that on-demand audiovisual media services promote the production of and access
to European works. The words 'where practicable and by appropriate means',
when analysed, imply that this is not a binding norm. Exactly how this
regulation is implemented is left to the Member States, which have a margin of
discretion. During the past negotiations on this subject Germany was keen to make it clear that Article 13 is non-binding. In the final analysis, the fact
that the Member States were allowed a margin of discretion in implementing the
rules on promoting European works was instrumental in persuading Germany to agree to the adopted version of Article 13. 2. That said, the German Länder, which are
empowered to pass legislation in this field, specified the telemedia services
to be offered by the public service broadcasters in §§ 11d to 11f of the
Interstate Broadcasting Treaty (Rundfunkstaatsvertrag, RStV). These new
regulations were included in the RStV with the Twelfth Amendment to the RStV
which came into force on 1 June 2009. Because of these regulations and the
'three-phase test procedures' based thereon, the on-demand audiovisual media
services ('TV-like' telemedia) provided by the public service broadcasters are
almost exclusively those already broadcast in these providers' linear services.
Moreover, § 11d(5)(2) of the RStV forbids public service broadcasters from
including in their telemedia bought-in films and episodes of TV series which
are not commissioned by the broadcaster. However, these are works produced
outside Europe. It can therefore be rightly said that the programme quotas for
the linear services are far exceeded by the public-service on-demand
audiovisual media services. In this regard we would also point to
recital 74 of the AVMSD, which states that the objective of supporting
audiovisual production in Europe can also be pursued within the Member States
in the framework of the organisation of their audiovisual media services
through the definition of a public service mission for certain media service
providers. 3. In Germany's view no further-reaching
obligation for on-demand audiovisual media service providers is currently
practicable using appropriate means. This is due in particular, on the one
hand, to the market situation and the economic constraints, especially on
smaller on-demand audiovisual media service providers. On the other hand it is
extremely difficult to practically implement such an obligation, in part
because the providers often have no data on the origin of the programmes but
only on the licensor's country of origin. 4. For reasons of clarification we would also
point to recital 27 of the AVMSD, according to which, for television broadcasting or television programmes which are
also offered as on-demand audiovisual media services by the same media service
provider, the requirements of this Directive should be deemed to be met by the
fulfilment of the requirements applicable to the television broadcast.
2.5. Denmark
Existence of concrete obligations No concrete obligation was reported. Reported on-demand services 26 on-demand services were reported in 2009
and 2010. All are Video-on-demand services accessible free-of-charge.
Geo-restrictions were reported for one service only. Measures adopted for the promotion of
European works The proportion of European works offered on the 26 on-demand
services varied from 38.8% to 100%, the average being 88.9%. For one service

13 in Denmark Monitoring method Based on lists from the two most important Danish internet media
associations we have checked a number of Danish websites and chosen those which
we found to be included. The providers of those websites have been consulted. Some have been
excluded as a result of the consultation while the answers of the rest have
been included in the reporting to the Commission. Judging by the information supplied by the relevant audiovisual
media services suppliers, it appears that 1)
The extent to which Danish suppliers of
on-demand audiovisual media services supply these services is very small: Even
websites belonging to major newspapers do not offer more than around five new
videos per day. 2)
The majority of the on-demand audiovisual media
services supplied by Danish suppliers is European: Of the 29 suppliers who
responded, 24 report the extent of their European services to be in the range
of 80-100 % of their total supply. The high percentage of European services is
to a large extent explained by the fact that most suppliers give high priority
to Danish content. 2.6. Estonia Existence of concrete obligations No concrete obligation was in force during
the reference period. Reported on-demand services No services were reported during the
reference period. Measures adopted for the promotion of
European works No statistical data were provided. Comments on the application of Article
13 in Estonia Estonian new Media services act came into force in January 2011,
providing the first reporting obligation for non-linear services (promotion of
European Works) for 15th of February 2012. So far one non-linear service registered
in summer 2011 after the enactment of the media act. There were no registered
service providers (non-linear services) in 2009 and 2010 in Estonia, and the Estonian Media Services Act does not have any retroactive effect.
2.7. Ireland
Existence of concrete obligations No concrete obligation was reported. Reported on-demand services No on-demand services were reported in 2009. Three on-demand services were reported in 2010. All of them were
catch-up TV services accessible free-of-charge. Measures adopted for the promotion of
European works The share or European works varied from 41.7% to 98.4%, the average
being 73.7%. No other promotion measure was reported. Compliance rate was 100%.

majority (4 out of 5 in 2009 and 6 out 8 in 2010) were catch-up TV services.
Most of them were accessible free-of- charge. Geo-restrictions were reported. Measures adopted for the promotion of
European works The Greek report indicates that almost all on-demand services applied
the three categories of promotion modalities mentioned in Article 13 of the
Directive. The share of European works ranged from 30% to 90% in 2009 (average
share of 62.8%) and from 14.5% to 100% in 2010 (average share of 70.3%). The
reported consumption of European works was slightly lower than the share of
European works offered to the users in 2009 (59.2% on average against 62.8%)
and slightly higher in 2010 (71% on average against 70.3%). Reported financial
contributions varied from 40% to 100% in 2009 and from 10% to 100% in 2010. From
the comments below, it appears that the basis for the calculation of financial
contribution can be a mix of programming budget and turnover. The prominence
tools used by the on-demand services in Greece are detailed in the second table
below. Homepage, identified origin, trailers and promotions were the most
commonly used tools. Compliance rates were 60% in 2009 and 75% in 2010.

13 in Greece Article 13 of the AVMS Directive has been transposed by Article
14(1) ‘Promotion of European works’ of Presidential Decree 109/2010 (Government
Gazette, Series I, N° 190). Based on the relevant provision, on-demand
audiovisual services must, ‘as far as possible and using appropriate means,
promote the production of and access to European works. In particular, this
promotion may consist of a financial contribution by these services to the
production of, and acquisition of rights for, European works, or a high level
of incorporation and/or attractive presentation of European works in the
catalogue of programmes offered by the on-demand audiovisual service. Statements STAR television channel stated that pursuant
to Article 13 of the AVMS Directive and Article 14 of Presidential Decree
109/2010 ‘the webpage ‘star.gr’ does not fall under the category of on-demand
audiovisual media services. Antenna TV (ANT1) also stated that
Articles 17 and 18 of Presidential Decree 109/2010 setting out proportions of
European and independent works exclusively refer to ‘television organisations’
as defined by Article 2 (1) f) of the same Presidential Decree and therefore
only apply to the linear services of the television organisations and in no way
to their non-linear services. Situation of on-demand services At the national level, only two broadcasting companies (SKAI and
Hellenic Parliament Television Channel) and five broadcasting companies with a
regional coverage were providing on-demand services during 2009 and 2010. The
on-demand services available in Greece during the reference period were mostly
catch-up TV services. The following information on on-demand services during 2009 and 2010
is based on the list of the Greek National Council for Radio and Television
(NCRTV). 1) SKAI provides an on-demand service
through its website ‘http://www.skai.gr/tv/ (SKAI player)’ offering consumers
the possibility to follow the station’ on-demand programmes. These programmes
are Greek productions produced or commissioned by the channel to production
companies. SKAI has therefore acquired all rights for broadcasting them on and
off television. For 2010, however the production of the programmes was budgeted
for the purposes of television broadcasting and not for the non-linear service. Hellenic Parliament Television Channel provides its non-linear sevice according to the Hellenic
Parliament’s programming budget, as set out by the Finance Directorate of teh
Hellenic Parliament. 2) The regional channels TV Halkidiki (Halkidiki),
Kriti TV (Heraklion Crete), Top Channel (Kozani), Creta Channel (Heraklion
Crete) and Flash TV (Kozani), all with a regional coverage, offer
non-linear services with a mix funding, . Their financial support to European
productions was based on both programming budget and turnover. 3) Multichoice Hellas offers an on-demand service (‘Nova on-demand’) using a PVR
and the provision of the service comes from the broadcaster’s programming
budget. Due to the technical limitations, the number of films available for
transmission is low. This means that the company ‘is obliged, respecting the
needs of its subscribers, to provide though this specific service, the
programmes/films which have the widest possible appeal, in accordance with the
number of bow office sales. Taking the above into account, the average
proportion of European works offered and promoted through the on-demand service
is 14.5%.
2.9. Spain
Existence of concrete obligations The Spanish legislation imposes a 30% share
of European works in catalogues as well as a 5% financial contribution to European
productions calculated on the basis of turnover. Reported on-demand services One on-demand service was reported in 2009
and three were reported in 2010. Two of them were Video-on-demand services and
the other one was a mixed service (VOD/catch up TV). All of them were pay
services. Geo-restrictions were reported for two services. Measures adopted for the promotion of
European works The reported on-demand services fulfilled the 5% financial
contribution obligation as well as the 30% share of European works in 2009 and
2010 (the proportions varied from 38.7% to 60%). Data provided for 2010 shows a
consumption of European works lower than the share of European works offered to
the users (26.3% on average against 47.6%). On-demand services also used some
prominence tools - in particular homepage, identified origin, trailers and
promotions - although there is no legal obligation to do so under the Spanish
legislation (see tables below). Compliance rate was 100% in 2009 and 2010.

13 in Spain In relation to the report on the implementation of Article 13
of the Directive, encouragement to produce European works and facilitate access
to them by on-demand audiovisual media service providers has been incorporated
into Law 7/2010 of 31 March 2010 (General Law on Audiovisual
Communication), establishing two types of cumulative obligation: 1.
Firstly, providers of catalogues of programmes
must reserve 30 % of the catalogue for European works and half of this
reserve must be in one of Spain's official languages. 2.
Providers of catalogues of programmes are also
obliged to participate in the prefinancing of European production of cinema
films, films and series for television, and documentaries, films and animation
series, to the value of 5 % of their income during the previous financial
year, according to their earnings statement. 2.10. France Existence of concrete obligations The Decree concerning on-demand audiovisual media services entered
into force on 1 January 2011. Therefore no obligation was imposed on on-demand
services during the reference period in France. Reported on-demand services No on-demand services were reported. Measures adopted for the promotion of
European works No statistical data was provided. Comments on the application of Article
13 in France The CSA has not received any information to date on the promotion of
European works on non-linear services under its jurisdiction. Article 21 of Decree No 2010-1379 of 12 November 2010 concerning
on-demand audiovisual media services, which entered into force on 1 January
2011, provides that: 'By 30 June of each year at the latest, audiovisual
service providers of on-demand audiovisual media services subject to the
provisions of Chapters I and II shall submit to the CSA an annual declaration
relating to compliance with their obligations.' The first reports on the promotion of European works broadcast by
these services should therefore be submitted to the CSA by 30 June 2012; they
will relate to the 2011 reporting year. The CSA informed that spot checks of the share and prominence of
European works in catalogues would be carried out. 2.11. Italy Existence of concrete obligations The Italian decree transposing the Directive sets out the obligation
to reserve 20% of on-demand catalogues for European works or, alternatively, to
provide a 5% financial contribution to the production of European works,
calculated on the basis of the revenues. This Decree had not entered into force
during the reference period. The use of three prominence tools was reported
(search, recommendation tools and sections dedicated to European works). Reported on-demand services No on-demand services have been reported. Measures adopted for the promotion of European works No statistical data was provided. Comments on the application of Article 13 in Italy Directive 2007/65/CE was implemented in Italy with the decree 15
march 2010, n. 44 (the decree). During the period covered by the X report no
obligation was in force for nonlinear audiovisual media services. According to
article 16 (7) of the decree Agcom established a co-regulatory procedure for
the definition of the duties related to the promotion of European works by the
non linear audiovisual media services. The results of this co-regulatory
activity are enshrined in Agcom decision n. 188/11/CONS that sets the
obligation for video on-demand media services to promote European works,
gradually and taking into account the development of the market by the adoption
of one of these measures: a) a minimum 20% share of European works in video on-demand
catalogues, calculated on the total yearly amount of hours provided by the
subject having editorial responsibility on them; b) a financial contribution to the production of and
acquisition of rights in European works that must not be less than 5% of the
revenues related with the provision of video on-demand services. Considering the development of VOD services, these duties will come
into force in 2012. Non linear audiovisual services are subject to a general
authorization according to article 22 bis of the decree. This provision came
into force in 2011, according to Agcom decision n. 607/10/CONS and for 2009 and
2010 there is no register of non linear audiovisual media service.
2.12. Cyprus
Existence of concrete obligations No concrete obligations were reported. Reported on-demand services No on-demand services were reported. Measures adopted for the promotion of
European works No statistical data was provided. Comments on the application of Article
13 in Cyprus During the
years 2009 and 2010, no media service provider providing on-demand audiovisual
services was under the jurisdiction of CRTA. 2.13. Latvia Existence of concrete obligations No concrete obligations were reported. Reported on-demand services No on-demand services were reported. Measures adopted for the promotion of
European works No statistical data was provided. Comments on the application of Article
13 in Latvia At the moment of drawing up report on the application of Article 13
in Latvia not a single on-demand service provider is registered according to
Electronic Mass Media Law. National Electronic Mass Media Council of Latvia is
taking necessary actions to ensure the registration of these service providers.
National Electronic Mass Media Council of
Latvia is developing the
National strategy for the development of the electronic mass media sector. This
strategy will contain requirements for promotion of European works in on-demand
services. 2.14. Lithuania Existence of concrete obligations No concrete obligations were reported. Reported on-demand services No on-demand services were reported. Measures adopted for the promotion of
European works No statistical data was provided. Comments on the application of Article
13 in Lithuania No information can be provided regarding the
application of Article 13 in Lithuania during the reference period. Pursuant to
the Law on Provision of Information to the Public and the Ruling of the Radio
and Television Commission of Lithuania, the four existing VOD providers had to
register their activity by April 2011. Therefore no information is available
for the previous years.
2.15. Luxembourg
Existence of concrete obligations
No concrete obligations were reported during the reference period
because the Directive was not transposed in Luxembourg until December 2010. Reported on-demand services No on-demand services were reported in
2009. Five services were reported in 2010. Four of them were Video-on-demand
services and one was a mixed service (catch-up/VOD). Measures adopted for the promotion of
European works No statistical data was provided. However some information was given
on the use of prominence tools by on-demand services in Luxembourg (see comments below).

13 in Luxembourg Application of Article 13 of Directive 2010/13/EU on the
coordination of certain provisions laid down by law, regulation or
administrative action in Member States concerning the provision of audiovisual
media services, which stipulates that Member States shall ensure that on-demand
services help promote the production of European works as well as access
thereto by on-demand media service providers. The Directive was not transposed into national law until December
2010. This explains why AVMS providers had not yet for the period under review
introduced tools and methods for providing reliable numerical data on the
presence of European works in their supply. However, even in the absence of such
data, an analysis of the supply shows that certain services feature headings
based not only on the genre/type of work but also on its origin/nationality. By
reserving a special place for European works in their catalogues, providers
contribute to achieving the stated objective. These measures are sometimes
complemented by including articles highlighting certain well-known European
actors in a specific country. By providing such information on European stars
and their films, the services contribute to promoting European works. Other
initiatives are also planned, such as financial contributions to the production
of European works. Generally speaking, providers seem to acknowledge that national
works are essential to making their supply attractive. European works make up 25% to 30% of the supply in the catalogue of
the Postal and Telecommunications Company (Entreprises des Postes et
Télécommunications). Measures have been taken to promote in future the
broadcasting of European works using a tab enabling direct access to these
works. 2.16. Hungary Existence of concrete obligations No concrete obligations were reported since
the legislation transposing the Directive entered into force on 1 January 2011. Reported on-demand services No on-demand services were reported. Measures adopted for the promotion of
European works No statistical data were provided. Comments on the application of Article
13 in Hungary The
provisions governing on-demand media services were introduced in Hungary by virtue of Act CLXXXV of 2010 on
Media Services and Mass Media (Media Act), which came into force on 1 January 2011. The European Commission
is requesting data on on-demand media services in respect of European works for the period between 1 January 2010 and 31 December 2010. Regulation governing
on-demand media services was created on a legislative level by the legislator;
however, the Media Act only came into force on 1 January 2011. Consequently,
the Media Council does not have any
information on these services for the reporting period from 1 January
2010 to 31 December 2010. Article 41 of
the Media Act sets out a registration obligation for on-demand media services Article
41 (1) of the Media Act (...): (2)
On-demand and
ancillary media services subject to this Act provided by a media service
provider with a registered office (domicile) in the territory of the Republic of Hungary shall be registered with the Authority. The said shall also be
applicable to a media product published by a publisher with a registered office
(domicile) in the territory of the Republic of Hungary. Registration is
not a condition for commencing the service or the activity. (3)
Any
natural person, legal or unincorporated entity shall have the right to initiate
said registration pursuant
to those set forth in this Act. (4) The Authority shall keep
an administrative register of (...) e) on-demand audiovisual media services, f) on-demand
radio media services, (...) (5) In the event that a service
provider provides both linear and on-demand services, or if a media publisher publishes both print media and
online media products, it shall register each of its media services or media
products separately. (6) The data recorded in administrative registers
established pursuant to Paragraph (4) -the name,
contact information of media service providers, media product founders and
publishers, as well as the names and titles of said media services and products
- shall be in the public domain and accessible on
the National Media and Infocommunications Authority (hereinafter referred to as
the Authority) website. For the purposes of monitoring media services and media
product publishing, the Authority shall oversee the natural person identification data of natural person media
service providers and media product founders and publishers until such data are
deleted from the administrative register. Article
20 (2) of the Media Act defines the following programme quotas for
on-demand audiovisual media services in
respect of Hungarian works, qualifying as European works: Article 20 (2) of the Media Act: Over one-quarter of the total sum of the
length of the programmes made available in a given calendar year in the
programme offerings of on-demand
audiovisual media services shall be composed of Hungarian works. Since the entry into
force of the Media Act, the National Media and Infocommunications Authority has registered 54 on-demand media services over the
course of 2011.
2.17. Malta
Existence of concrete obligations No concrete obligations were reported. Reported on-demand services No on-demand services were reported. Measures adopted for the promotion of
European works No statistical data were provided. Comments on the application of Article
13 in Malta No comments were
provided.
2.18. Netherlands
Existence of concrete obligations No concrete obligations were reported. Reported on-demand services No on-demand services were reported because the policy rules on the
classification of on-demand commercial media services entered into force on 1
November 2011. Of the 23 services declared on
16 December 2010, it is likely that only a few services may be regarded as
on-demand media services, but no decision had been taken at the time of drawing
up the Report (see comments below). Measures adopted for the promotion of
European works Some statistical data were reported in the comments provided by the
Dutch Authority. Three services which may be considered as on-demand services
offered a high proportion of European works (from 58% to 100%). Comments on the application of Article
13 in the Netherlands A) The situation in 2009-2010 As you are aware, the implementation of the
Audiovisual Media Services Directive (hereinafter the 'AVMS Directive') in the
Mediawet 2008 ('2008 Media Law') was completed with the entry into force of the
implementing law on 19 December 2009. Over the course of 2010 the Dutch Media
Authority (CvdM) received a number of declarations from providers which planned
to provide one or more on-demand media services. On 16 December 2010, the
reference date, a total of 23 (assumed) on-demand media services were declared. In 2010 the CvdM gave no final ruling on the
status of the declared services as it preferred to wait until the policy rules
detailing the criteria for the definition of on-demand commercial media
services had been laid down. The 2011 policy rules on the classification of
on-demand commercial media services entered into force on 1 November 2011.
Since then the number of declarations of (assumed) on-demand media services has
continued to increase. At the time of writing, a total of 36
declarations have been received. The CvdM is in the process of establishing
which of these actually relate to on-demand commercial media services. Of the 23 services declared on
16 December 2010, (it is likely that) only a few services may be regarded
as on-demand media services. Many of them are radio services, for example,
and/or services which were not active at the time. Article 13 may therefore not be said to
apply to the majority of services declared on 16 December 2010. Although a final decision has not yet been
reached, the CvdM assumes that three services may in any case be considered to
be on-demand media services: - Smulweb TV: a service consisting of cooking
videos; - Almere Breed TV: a local video service
aimed at inhabitants of the city of Almere; - Disney Channel; a number of VOD services. B) Assessment of the European quota
obligations Following an initial analysis the CvdM found
that the first two of the above services show only European works. We found
that the Disney Channel on-demand media services are derived from the linear
range and that the share of European productions is a healthy 58 %. In addition to those services which have
already been declared, there are two categories of providers whose services
have not yet been declared but may be assumed to be on-demand media services. These are the categories of 'catch-up
services' and 'video-on-demand services' provided by SBS, NPO, UPC and Ziggo.
The CvdM would refer in this connection to the study ordered by the Commission
in 2011 to evaluate the AVMS Directive. Table 1. European productions expressed
in hours/titles as a percentage of the total number of hours/titles analysed in

provisions of the Audiovisual Media Services Directive concerning the promotion

Analysis'). C) Monitoring The CvdM is currently assessing both declared
and non-declared services. Providers will be contacted and their attention
drawn to the obligation to periodically inform the CvdM of the share of
European works as referred to in Article 13 of the AVMS Directive. The
CvdM will therefore send a questionnaire following declaration. The
questionnaire will be based on the Commission's reporting instruction for
non-linear media services.
2.19. Austria
Existence of concrete obligations
An obligation to reserve a 50% share of catalogues for European
works is imposed on the Austrian Public Service Broadcaster. Prominence
obligations (adequate presentation and identification of the works offered) are
imposed on private on-demand service providers. Reported on-demand services One on-demand service was reported in 2010: the catch-up service of
the Public Service Broadcaster which was accessible free-of-charge. Measures adopted for the promotion of
European works The catch-up TV service offered a 100% European works in 2010. No
other measures were reported since the Austrian legislation applying to
commercial on-demand services only entered into force in October 2010 and the
most on-demand services launched a professional offer only as of 2011 (see
comments below). Year || Service || Type || Access || Financial Contribution (%) || Share of Catalogue (%) || Prominence || Compliance 2010 || ORF-Tvtech || Catch-up || Free || || 100.0% || No || Comments on the application of Article
13 in Austria 1. The catch-up service of the ORF started on the 16th of
November 2009. Due to the legal conditions only own productions (coproductions)
of the ORF can be distributed on this platform, so that 100 % of the programmes
in 2009/10 are of European origin. 2. According to the Austrian legal situation there are no data
concerning a percentage of European works available for the private sector
of audiovisual on demand services as those services (as also enabled by
article 13 AVMSD) only have the obligation to an adequate presentation and
identification of European works in the catalogue provided. The Austrian Audio
Visual Media Act, which foresees an obligation to actively report any
non-linear services from Austrian based providers of such services, came into
force on October 1st, 2010. Subsequently KommAustria actively started to inform and “encourage”
providers of non-linear services in Austria to comply with all the legal
obligations by requesting all identified providers to state, whether their
offered non-linear services are audiovisual media services on demand according
to Art 13 AVMS-Directive. All subsequently received data refer to the beginning
of the year 2011. What can be concluded out of the monitoring procedure is that by far
the largest part of the now registered services (see
http://www.rtr.at/de/m/Abrufdienste) have started a professional offer not
earlier than 2011. As far as some of them already started in 2010 or even
earlier almost all of these restricted themselves to the distribution of their
own productions, so that in any case these programmes were of European origin.
Where this was not the case - e.g. see http://www.flimmit.com/online-videothek/
- the service provider offers (according to the legal conditions) in an exemplary
way an own category “Europäischer Film” and even “Österreich-Ecke”. Given the
number of identified non-linear services, a comprehensive report can be
expected for the following reporting period (2011 – 2012). 2.20. Poland Existence of concrete obligations No concrete obligations were reported due
to late transposition of the Directive. Reported on-demand services No on-demand services were reported. Measures adopted for the promotion of
European works No statistical data were provided. Comments on the application of Article
13 in Poland During the reporting period, i.e. in 2009 and
2010, provisions requiring the implementation of so-called on-screen quotas by
on-demand audiovisual media service providers (Article 13 of the Directive) were
not in force, hence the lack of data in the report on this subject.
2.21. Portugal
Existence of concrete obligations No concrete obligations were reported. Reported on-demand services Four on-demand services were reported in 2009 and five in 2010. Half
of them were Video-on-demand services and half, mixed services (catch-up and
VOD). All of them were pay services. Measures adopted for the promotion of
European works In 2009, the share of European works in catalogues varied from 31.2%
to 62.2% (45.6% on average) and in 2010, from 16.5% to 59.7% (36.4% on
average). Compliance rates were 25% in 2009 and 40% in 2010.

13 in Portugal Monitoring method Data collection was made by the Entidade
Reguladora para a Comunicação Social (ERC - Portuguese Regulatory Authority)
from the catalogues sent by the providers to the ERC at its request. It also requested information on the work's title, the country of
production, production year and the year of entry into the providers’ VOD
platform.
MEO - PT Comunicações, S.A. Given that the operator had included audiovisual works whose origin
is not known in the catalogue, the percentages were calculated from the
sub-group of audiovisual works available in the catalogue, i.e. excluding from
the list the works whose origin was not given. There was an increasing
number of European works included in the operator's catalogue: 43.5 % in
2009 rising to 59.7 % in 2010.
Optimus – SonaeCom, S.A. Even though this operator already offered on-demand audiovisual
services in 2009, it did not communicate specific information on its catalogue
for that year. In any case, the works that were available in 2009 are still
included in the 2010 catalogue. Vodafone Portugal, S.A. There was a slight increase in the number of European works in the
operator's catalogue: 31.2 % in 2009 rising to 31.9 % in 2010. ZON Conteúdos – Actividade de Televisão e de Produção de Conteúdos,
S.A. The percentages were calculated from the sub-group of audiovisual works
available in the catalogue, i.e. excluding from the list the works whose origin
was not given. This was done because the operator
had included audiovisual works whose origin is not known. In 2010 the operator
included twice as many works in its catalogue than it did in 2009, and offered
an increasing number of European works. 2.22. Romania Existence of concrete obligations No concrete obligations were reported. Reported on-demand services No on-demand services were reported in 2009. Three services were reported in 2010. All of them were public funded
catch-up services accessible free-of-charge. Measures adopted for the promotion of
European works The report indicated a share of European works ranging from 73.2% to
100%, the average being 86.1%. Some prominence tools were also reported, such
as homepage, identified origin, trailers and promotions. (See tables below). Compliance

13 in Romania Non-linear services have recently been implemented in Romania and their number is scarce. National Audiovisual Council of Romania (CNA) is the regulatory
authority responsible for all the types of services. Romania has harmonized its
legislation, and adopted general obligations to promote European works on
non-linear services. According to the Romanian Audiovisual Law no. 504/2002, Art. 23: "(1) On-demand audiovisual media services promote, where
practicable and by appropriate means, the production of and access to European
works. Such promotion could relate, inter alia, to the financial contribution
made by such services to the production and rights acquisition of European
works or to the percentage and/or prominence of European works in the catalogue
of programs offered". Within the Romanian audiovisual market there is only one full-service
video-on-demand provider (www.Voyo,ro) that was notified to CNA, since 2011.
Besides this, only some Romanian broadcasters offer non-linear services (only
catch-up TV) online as part of their IPTV platform, as seen in the annex.
2.23. Sweden
Existence of concrete obligations No concrete obligations were reported. Reported on-demand services Three on-demand services were reported in 2009. Six on-demand services were reported in 2010. Only one Video-on-demand service was reported in 2010. The rest of
services were catch-up or mixed (catch-up/VOD) services. Most of the services
listed in 2010 were accessible free-of-charge (see tables below).
Geo-restrictions were reported. Measures adopted for the promotion of
European works According to the report on-demand all services in Sweden reserved a share of their catalogues for European works (from 30% to 85% in 2009 and from 35%
to 100% in 2010). The average shares were respectively 66% and 80.8% in 2009
and 2010, lower than the average consumption of European works (respectively
92% and 98% in 2009 and 2010). Some of the services reported a financial
contribution to the production of European works (from 15% to 100%) however,
without indicating the basis for its calculation. In a few cases prominence
tools were also used, in particular homepage and identified origin. (See table
below). Compliance rate was 100% in 2009 and 2010.

2 of the Swedish Radio- and Television Act (2010:696). The Broadcasting
Authority shall establish a registry of those natural or legal persons who have
registered and whose operations are within the purview of the Radio- and
Television Act. On 8 December 2011, the Broadcasting Authority had registered 24
on-demand-services from 17 operators. It has, however, been difficult for the
Authority to induce other operators than the traditional broadcasting companies
to register as providers of on-demand-TV. Two operators have after registration
of four services requested that these services shall be removed from the
register. Natural or legal persons that provide on-demand-TV in other ways
than through cable are to report to the Broadcasting Authority every fourth
year, with the beginning 2011, what has been done in order to promote European
works. The Authority has required reports from those operators which were
registered at the time we received the Commission’s request for reports. The
Authority has also tried to obtain information from a few non-registered
operators which the Authority suspects to be providers of on-demand services in
the meaning of the Directive. Unfortunately these efforts have been without
results so far. The result The replies obtained show that the content of on-demand-services to
a very large extent consists of European works. We can also see that most
services lack specific functions in order to identify, search and recommend
European works. The Swedish Radio- and Television Act does not specify in what
way European works shall be promoted. The future work The Radio and Broadcasting Authority will continue and intensify its
work in trying to identify the providers of on-demand-TV and require them to
register. The authority will improve and enhance its information as regards
the requirement to register and to promote European works.
2.24. Slovenia
Existence of concrete obligations No concrete obligations were reported due
to the late transposition of the Directive. Reported on-demand services No on-demand services were reported. Measures adopted for the promotion of
European works No statistical data were provided. Comments on the application of Article
13 in Slovenia Since the Audiovisual Media Services Directive was just recently
transposed into our media legislation - Law on Audiovisual Media Services
entered into force on 17th of November 2011 – our regulatory
authority did not have any legal basis for monitoring audiovisual works in
on-demand audiovisual media services during the reference period. The first step after the adoption of the law would be the
notification of all on-demand AVMS providers, so that the monitoring of
audiovisual works in on-demand audiovisual media services would be carried out
during the next year 2012. A question regarding the
implementation of the Article 13 - method of calculation the percentage of the
catalogue made up of European works: Under the Article 16 of
the Slovenian Law on Audiovisual Media Services video-on-demand service
providers are required to ensure that the share of European works be least 10%
of the catalogue. However, the provision does not include any method on
calculating this share (or even, if the share should be calculated from the
programming hours or number of titles), as do not the guidelines for filling in
the Article 13 forms sent out along with the excel spreadsheets. To prepare the correct
data we need to know, if the qualifying hours used to calculate the
percentage of the catalogue made up of European works are: 1. the duration
(runtime) in hours of a specific work offered in the catalogue, regardless of
the number of days a specific work has been available or 2. should the number of
days a specific work has been made available also be taken into account, in
which case the total of hours for a specific work is the duration (runtime) of
the work multiplied by number of days it has been made available. If the calculation is made
regardless of the number of days a specific European work has been made
available, taking into account just the runtime, then the minimum share of
European works could easily be achieved by making a sufficient quota available
for even just one day.
2.25. Finland
Existence of concrete obligations No concrete obligations were reported. Reported on-demand services No on-demand services were reported in 2009. Five on-demand services were reported in 2010, two catch-up and
three mixed (catch-up/VOD) services. Most of them were accessible
free-of-charge (four out of five). Three of them reported geo-restrictions. Measures adopted for the promotion of
European works Most of the content offered is of European origin since on-demand
services in Finland are mainly built on domestic productions (see comments
below). One statistical data was provided (70% share of European works).

13 in Finland Article 13 is implemented in Section 16 of the Act on Television and
Radio Operations. At the moment, most of the on-demand audiovisual media
services offered in Finland are provided by broadcasters. Providers of on-demand audiovisual media services have reported to
Ficora that they have used the following means to promote European works in
their services: 1. Most of the content of on-demand audiovisual media services is of
European origin. Providers of on-demand audiovisual media services aim to
purchase on-demand rights to all European works that are broadcasted also on
their television channels; Sanoma TV in particular makes a wide acquisition of
on-demand rights to domestic productions. 2. Providers of on-demand audiovisual media services have produced
domestic spin-off programs, such as a spin-off to a popular soap opera (MTV3),
and also other material or clips that are available only as on-demand; 3. Providers of on-demand audiovisual media services build their
services mainly around domestic productions. In particular YLE Arena (catch-up
service) offers a higher share of domestic/European works – due to copyright
restrictions – than the corresponding linear service.
2.26. Slovakia
Existence of concrete obligations No concrete obligations were reported. Reported on-demand services No on-demand services were reported in 2009. 36 on-demand services were reported in 2010, of which 10 were video-on-demand
services, 21, catch-up services and five, mixed services. All of them were
accessible free-of-charge. Measures adopted for the promotion of
European works In 2010 on-demand services in Slovakia reported a share of European
works ranging from 30% to 100%, the average being 93.3% in 2010 (see table
below). No other measures for the promotion of European works were reported.

2.27. United Kingdom
Existence of concrete obligations No concrete obligations were reported. Reported on-demand services No on-demand services were reported in 2009. 82 on-demand services were reported in 2010. No information was
provided on the type of services and access. Measures adopted for the promotion of
European works Proportions of European works offered in the catalogues varied from
0% to 100% in 2010, the average share being 38.5%. No other measures were
reported (see table below). The average consumption of European works reported in 2010 was

INTRODUCTION
This document supplements the first Report from the
Commission to the Council and to the European Parliament on the application of
Articles 13, 16 and 17 of Directive 2010/13/EU pursuant to Article 16(3). The report, which covers the period 2009-2010, outlines
the Commission’s opinion on the application of Articles 16 and 17 at EU level
and the principal conclusions which can be drawn from the Member States’
reports. This document contains a detailed analysis of the application of Articles
16 and 17 in each Member State based on the reporting obligation imposed on
them for the reference period. The Commission is responsible for ensuring the correct
application of Articles 16 and 17 of the Directive in accordance with the
Treaty. Article 16(3) of the Directive requires the Member States to report to the
Commission on the application of these provisions every two years. Their reports
are in Section 3. The present document comprises three sections: ·
Section 1: Application of Articles 16 and 17:
General remarks; ·
Section 2: Application of Articles 16 and 17:
Detailed analysis for each Member State; ·
Section 3: Application of Articles 16 and 17:
Summary of the reports from the Member States. The following information is contained in Part III of
the Staff Working Document, in a separate set of annexes: ·
Annex 1: Performance indicators ·
Annex 2: Charts and tables on the application of
Articles 16 and 17 ·
Annex 3: List of television channels in the
Member States which failed to achieve the majority proportion required by
Article 16. ·
Annex 4: List of television channels in the
Member States which failed to achieve the minimum proportion required by
Article 17
1. APPLICATION OF ARTICLES 16 AND 17: GENERAL REMARKS
A total of 2,710 channels were identified over the
reference period, representing a 23.1% increase on the previous period. This
increase is a consequence of the highly dynamic development of the audiovisual
sector which has continued since the last reference period. In 2009, 1,313 channels were covered[1] by Article 16
and 1 311 by Article 17 of the Directive. In 2010, 1,390 channels were
covered by Article 16 and 1 387 by Article 17[2]. Compared to
the figures reported in the previous period the number of covered channels fell
respectively by 14.4% and 14.6%. This decrease was triggered by a change in the methodology applied. Given the emergence of channels with a very low audience share which
might lack the necessary resources to provide statistical data and the
Commission's policy aiming to avoid overburdening small companies with
administrative work, the Commission services have set up a common framework
enabling the individual exemption of very small channels from the reporting
obligation. A 'tolerance threshold' of 0.3% audience share is set out, below
which channels may be granted by the competent national authorities, at their
request, an individual exemption from the obligation to report on the
application of Articles 16 and 17[3].
The total of such exemptions in a given country may not exceed 10% of the
global audience share. This exemption only concerns the reporting obligation
and not the obligation to comply with the quotas set out in the Directive. The
detailed conditions surrounding application of the 'tolerance threshold' are set
out in the 'Revised Guidelines for Monitoring the Application of Articles 16
and 17 of the Audiovisual Media Services Directive (AVMS)'[4] drawn up by
the Commission services in July 2011. These Guidelines will be subject to a
review after their first complete application, scheduled for 2014[5].
1.1. Monitoring
methods in the Member States
As regards the national monitoring methods, there is still divergence
between Member States. National monitoring methods are mainly based on the submission
of data by the broadcasters to the regulator. In a majority of Member States
data is collected directly by the competent national authorities from the
broadcasters falling under their jurisdiction and is not subject to any
verification. In nine Member States, the national authorities verify the data
submitted by broadcasters using their own monitoring system or the system of an
independent company. One supervisory authority[6]
indicated that it submits its report on the application of Articles 16 and 17
to representatives of the audiovisual production industry for comments. During the reference period three Member States reported
difficulties in carrying out the monitoring of all types of channels. In Cyprus the national legislation only allowed monitoring of channels broadcasting via analogue
technology[7]. In Greece a number of private regional channels refused to submit
their returns and some other channels were unable to report because they had
not kept records for the reference period[8].
A similar problem arose in Slovenia where a small number of channels refused to
submit their data to the supervisory authority[9].
The Commission would like to reiterate that all channels with national or
regional[10]
coverage falling within the jurisdiction of a given Member State come under the obligations set out in Articles 16 and 17, unless they benefit from an
individual exemption or are subject to a legal exception. At the same time some improvements have to be stressed: for the
first time data concerning public regional channels were reported in Germany. In Sweden the competent authority managed to increase broadcasters' awareness about
the importance of correct implementation of Articles 16 and 17. In Slovenia the monitoring system was improved and data submitted by a number of broadcasters
was checked against the database of an independent company.
1.2. Reasons for non-compliance
The reasons given for non-compliance with the
proportions required under Articles 16 and 17 of the Directive were again very
similar to those provided in the previous reference periods. ·
Recently launched channels Some national reports indicated that recently launched
channels with a very low audience share found it difficult to meet the obligations
set out in Articles 16 and 17 from the start of their operations. It is true that the Directive leaves open the
possibility of progressively building up to the required proportions of European
works[11]
and that Article 16(3) allows the Commission to take into consideration the
particular circumstances of new broadcasters. But every effort should be made
to achieve the required proportions as soon as possible. ·
Problems with the acquisition of European
programmes Some national reports indicated that the small size of
certain domestic markets or their language area made it difficult to attain the
required proportions of European works. Article 16(3) allows the Commission to
take into account the specific situation of countries with low audiovisual
production capacity or a small language area. Furthermore, a number of national reports indicated that
some broadcasters had difficulty in finding available European programmes on
the market (not covered by licensing agreements), as well as European works at
competitive prices or fitting the editorial line of niche channels. In
particular the limited supply of European children's programmes was pointed out. An argument based on the higher costs of European
programmes cannot be accepted, considering that the objective of Articles 16
and 17 is precisely to foster production by the European audiovisual industry. ·
Channels belonging to a group Some national reports raised the point that while
individual channels belonging to a group did not meet the proportions set out
in Articles 16 and 17, the group as a whole fulfilled the quotas. Once again the Commission reiterates that, even though
Article 16(1) states that ‘broadcasters’ must reserve a majority proportion of
their transmission time for European works, Article 16(3) refers to each of the
‘television programmes’ when it comes to achievement of the set proportion. ·
Broadcasting from parent companies’ stock A number of channels belonging to a group indicated that
they were unable to meet the quotas for independent productions because they
use programming from their parent companies. The Commission reiterates that this
is not considered by the Directive as a justification for exemption from the
obligations imposed by Article 17 of the Directive. ·
Difficult economic conditions during the
reference period A number of national reports put forward the economic
and financial situation of some channels and the fall in advertising income as
a reason for not achieving the required proportions. The Commission may take exceptional circumstances into
account, according to the principle of proportionality. However, every effort
should be made to promote the transmission of European and independent works in
the Member States. ·
Specific situation of channels broadcasting a
large amount of news and sports programmes Some national reports also pointed out that channels broadcasting a
large proportion of news and sports events find it difficult to reach the
required proportions of European and independent works.
1.3. Measures
planned or adopted to remedy cases of non-compliance
Here again the legal situation still differs from one Member State to another. Some of the supervisory authorities do not have any power to
penalise broadcasters who fail to report and/or comply with the proportions set
out in Articles 16 and 17. In six Member States the authorities reported that
they had been in contact with the non-compliant channels in order to raise
their awareness of or draw their attention to the need to achieve the required
proportions of European/independent works. In another 11 Member States[12] the national
authorities indicated that they had taken or would take active measures in the
event of failure to communicate data and/or to achieve the required proportions
of European works and/or independent productions. These measures ranged from
the sending of warnings and letters of formal notice to the initiation of
penalty procedures (in five Member States). It seems that the situation has continued to improve regarding enforcement
of the obligations laid down in Articles 16 and 17. However, there is still
some room for improvement and the Commission would invite Member States to make
every effort to ensure by appropriate means that the required proportions of
European and independent works are achieved.
1.4.
Conclusions
As far as Article 16 is concerned, the proportion of European works
was 63.8% in 2009 and 64.3% in 2010. The overall result is a 0.5 percentage
point increase. The average proportion of European works rose in 12 Member
States, fell in another 12 and remained stable in three during the current
reference period. Over the four-year period 2007-2010 the average proportion of
European works broadcast rose by 1.7 percentage points. During the same period
12 Member States registered an increase in their percentages and the other 15
posted a decrease. The proportions of European works created by independent producers
in the EU were respectively 34.1% in 2009 and 33.8% in 2010. Nine Member States
registered a positive development, 14 had a negative outcome and four reported
a stable situation. The overall result is a tiny 0.3 percentage point decrease
over the reference period. Regarding the period 2007-2010, 12 Member States
registered an increase and 15 posted a decrease. The resulting net decrease
over the four-year period (-1.5 percentage points) confirms a sustained
downward trend in respect of independent works. However, the proportion of
independent works broadcast at EU level remains well above the percentage set
out in Article 17. Despite a decrease over the reporting period and the period 2007-2010
(respectively 0.3 and 1.2 percentage points), the proportion of recent European
works by independent producers broadcast at EU level is still satisfactory,
with figures of 62.1% in 2009 and 61.8% in 2010.
2. APPLICATION OF ARTICLES 16 AND 17: DETAILED ANALYSIS
2.1. Belgium
2.1.1.
Belgium –
Flemish Community
Of the total of 53 identified channels, one channel (vtmKzoom) was
non-operational in 2009. During the reference period, 11 channels were exempted
because of the nature of their programming (sports and advertising). In 2009 no
data was communicated for nine channels concerning European works and for seven
channels concerning European independent productions. In 2010, no data was
communicated for eight channels concerning European works and for six channels
concerning independent productions. As regards recent European works by
independent producers, no data was communicated for ten channels in 2009 and
for nine channels in 2010. European works All reported channels broadcast an average of 62.9% in 2009 and
65.7% in 2010 representing a 2.8 percentage point increase over the reference
period. In 2009, out of 32 reported channels, 12 channels did not
achieve the majority proportion of transmission time specified in Article 16 of
the Directive. The compliance rate[13]was
48.8%. For 2010, out of 34 reported channels, ten channels did not
achieve the majority proportion specified in Article 16
of the Directive. The compliance rate was 57.1%. The national report indicates that VT4 makes efforts to broadcast
European and independent productions. More than 50% of the channel’s budget was
spent on European productions which are expensive for a channel targeting a
small market with a fragmented advertising spending. VijfTV devotes on average
4 hours per day to phone-in-games which are not taken into account for the
proportion of European and independent works. European works made by independent producers The average proportion of European works by independent producers on
all reported channels was 68.4% in 2009 and 70.8% in 2010, representing a 2.4
percentage point increase over the reference period. For 2009, out of 34 reported channels, only two channels
(Canvas and Jim TV) did not achieve the minimum proportion under Article 17 of
the Directive. In 2010, out of 36 reported channels, three channels
(Canvas, Jim TV and Liberty TV Vlaanderen) did not exceed the 10% threshold.
The compliance rates were 78% in 2009 and 78.6% in 2010. According to the national report, Canvas is part of the public
broadcaster VRT’s second channel and is devoted to information, culture and
education. The average relative proportion of recent
European works by independent producers for all channels reported was 93.8% in
2009 and 89.3% in 2010, representing a 4.5 percentage point decrease over the
reference period. The evolution of the averages achieved over the period 2007-2010 for
European works, independent productions and recent works is reproduced in the
chart below:
2.1.2. Belgium – French Community
Of the total of 21
identified channels, one channel (La Trois (RTBF3)) was non-operational in 2009
as well as one channel (MCM Belgique) in 2010. During the reference period, 5
channels were exempted from the obligation to comply with the European works quota
while another channel was exempted from the obligation to fulfil the
independent works quota. European works All reported channels
broadcast an average of 70.8% in 2009 and 70.6% in 2010 representing a -0.2
percentage point decrease over the reference period. In 2009, out of
15 reported channels, only one channel (Nickelodeon-MTV Wallonia) did not
achieve the majority proportion of transmission time specified in Article 16 of
the Directive. The compliance rate[14]
was 93.3%. For 2010, out
of 15 reported channels, two channels (Be Ciné and Nickelodeon-MTV
Wallonia) did not achieve the majority proportion specified in Article 16 of
the Directive. The compliance rate was 86.7%. The national report
indicates that MTV-Service Nickelodéon-MTV Wallonia could not comply with the
European works quota because the success of the channel is linked to the
specificity of its programmes which come from the catalogue of its parent
company, Viacom. MTV declared having made efforts to mitigate the deficit in
European works: investments in independent Belgian productions and broadcasting
of French Community musical works. The proportion of European works broadcast
by this channel also increased from 25.8% in 2009 to 30.9% in 2010. The
competent authority has taken note of these efforts and improvement. BeTV – Service Be ciné
declared that the week chosen for the monitoring sample was particularly
unfavourable and that the channel reached a 51.2% proportion of European works
over the whole 2010 year. European works made
by independent producers The average proportion
of European works by independent producers on all reported channels was 38.5%
in 2009 and 38.4% in 2010, representing a 0.1 percentage point decrease over
the reference period. For 2009, all
14 reported channels achieved the minimum proportion under Article 17 of the
Directive. In 2010, out of 14 reported channels, only one channel (Be
Sport 1) did not exceed the 10% threshold. The compliance rates were 100% in
2009 and 92.9% in 2010. BeTV – Service Be
sport 1 did not achieve the quota of independent works. The channel devotes 95%
of its programming to sports events. The basis for the calculation of the
propportion of independent works is therefore reduced to 5% of the programming.
The channel also stressed the difficulty for independent producers to access
sports rights. The average relative
proportion of recent European works by independent producers for all
channels reported was 79.1% in 2009 and 76.7% in 2010, representing a 2.4
percentage point decrease over the reference period. The evolution of the
averages achieved over the period 2007-2010 for European works, independent
productions and recent works is reproduced in the chart below:
2.1.3. Belgium- German speaking
Community
There was one identified channel in the German speaking Community of
Belgium during the reference period: the channel run by the public service
broadcaster BRF. Broadcasting time is limited to 600 minutes per month, half of
the transmission time being devoted to news. Data provided for the first time by
BRF shows a proportion of 18% European works, of which 15% are independent
productions.
2.2. Bulgaria
Of the total of 52 identified channels, three channels (THE VOICE,
TV SAT COM and TVT/TELEVISIA TURISME) were non-operational in 2009, and one
channel (MM) in 2010. Seven channels were exempted in 2009 and seven in 2010.
In 2009 no data was communicated for four channels concerning European works
and for 11 channels concerning independent productions. In 2010, no data was
communicated for three channels concerning European works and for 11 channels
concerning independent productions. As regards recent European works by
independent producers, no data was communicated for 14 channels in 2009 and for
13 channels in 2010. European works All reported channels broadcast an average of 56.0% in 2009 and
63.4% in 2010 representing a 7.4 percentage point increase over the reference
period. In 2009, out of 37 reported channels, 15 channels did not
achieve the majority proportion of transmission time specified in Article 16 of
the Directive. The compliance rate[15]
was 53.7%. For 2010, out of 41 reported channels, 13 channels did not
achieve the majority proportion specified in Article 16
of the Directive. The compliance rate was 63.6%. European works made by independent producers The average proportion of European works by independent producers on
all reported channels was 23.1% in 2009 and 21.8% in 2010, representing a 1.3
percentage point decrease over the reference period. For 2009, out of 30 reported channels, 10 channels did not
achieve the minimum proportion under Article 17 of the Directive. In 2010,
out of 33 reported channels, 12 channels did not exceed the 10% threshold. The
compliance rate, in terms of number of channels, was 48.8% in 2009 and 47.7% in
2010. Bulgarian legislation transposing Article 17 sets out a higher
percentage for independent works (12%) than Article 17. According to the
national report, the number of channels fulfilling this quota is lower than for
European works, which can be explained by a decrease in financial capacities
due to the crisis. The average relative proportion of recent European works by
independent producers for all channels reported was 57.3% in 2009 and 58.9% in
2010, representing a 1.6 percentage point increase over the reference period. The evolution of the
averages achieved over the period 2007-2010 for European works, independent
productions and recent works is reproduced in the chart below:
2.3. Czech Republic
Of the total of 77 identified channels, 14 channels were
non-operational in 2009, while three channels in 2010. Over the reference
period, 7 channels were exempt due to the nature of their programmes (news,
sports, teleshopping). In 2009, no data was communicated for three channels (Da
Vinci, FUN1 and PUBLIC TV), while in 2010 for one channel (Ethnic TV). European works All reported channels broadcast an average of 64.1% in 2009 and
58.1% in 2010 representing a 6.0 percentage point decrease over the reference
period. In 2009, out of 53 reported channels, 22 channels did not
achieve the majority proportion of transmission time specified in Article 16 of
the Directive. The compliance rate[16]
was 55.4% over the reference period. For 2010, out of 66 reported channels, 31 channels did not achieve
the majority proportion specified in Article 16 of the
Directive. The compliance rate was 52.2%. No comments were provided by the Czech Authorities. European works made by independent producers The average proportion of European works by independent producers on
all reported channels was 30.9% in 2009 and 26.0% in 2010, representing a 4.9
percentage point decrease over the reference period. For 2009, out of 53 reported channels, 7 channels did not
achieve the minimum proportion under Article 17 of the Directive. In 2010,
out of 66 reported channels, 25 channels did not exceed the 10% threshold. The
compliance rates were 82.1% in 2009 and 61.2% in 2010. The average relative proportion of recent European works by
independent producers for all channels reported was 62.6% in 2009 and 56.8% in
2010, representing a 5.8 percentage point decrease over the reference period. The evolution of the averages achieved over the period 2007-2010 for
European works, independent productions and recent works is reproduced in the
chart below:
2.4. Denmark
Of the total of 189 identified channels, one channel (6'eren) was
not operational in 2010. A total of 169 channels were exempt over the reference
period: 158 public regional channels were exempted from the reporting
obligation on the basis of their extremely low audience share, six channels
were exempted from the obligation to comply with the quotas because of the
nature of their programming (sports, news and advertising) and four channels broadcasting
in a non-EU language were not covered by Articles 16 and 17 of the Directive. European works All reported channels broadcast an average of 77.9% in 2009 and
79.6% in 2010 representing a 1.7 percentage point increase over the reference
period. In 2009, out of 20 reported channels, three channels did not
achieve the majority proportion of transmission time specified in Article 16 of
the Directive (6'eren, TV 2 Film and TV 2 Zulu). The compliance rate[17] was 85.0%. For 2010, out of 19 reported channels, three channels did not
achieve the majority proportion specified in Article 16
(DR K, TV 2 Film and TV 2 Zulu). The compliance rate was 84.2%. The report does not provide any reason for failure to comply with
the quota obligation. TV 2 Film posted an increase in the proportion of
European works (30.1%) between 2008 and 2009 but fell back to 24.7% in 2010. TV
Zulu remained below 30% over the period 2009-2010, therefore maintaining the
poor results constantly registered over several reference periods. In its 9th
Communication the Commission already pointed out that effective enforcement
measures should be taken by the Danish Regulatory Authorities in order to
ensure that the channel increases the proportion of European works broadcast.
However the Danish report does not indicate that any such measure has already
been adopted. Instead, the report contains a recommendation by the Secretariat
of the Board to the Danish Radio and Television Board to stress that it expects
the two failing channels to increase their proportion of European works in
order to meet the requirements. The Commission therefore wishes to reiterate
that some enforcement measure should be adopted towards the failing channels.
European works made by independent producers The average proportion of European works by independent producers on
all reported channels was 26.1% in 2009 and 24.3% in 2010, representing a 1.8
percentage point decrease over the reference period. For 2009, out of 20 reported channels, nine channels did not
achieve the minimum proportion under Article 17 of the Directive. In 2010,
out of 19 reported channels eight channels did not reach the 10% threshold. The
compliance rates were 55.0% in 2009 and 57.9% in 2010. Most of the failing channels belong to the TV 2 and DR Groups. As
regards TV 2 channels the Radio and Television Board emphasised in its annual
public service statement the obligation to fulfil the 10% quota of independent
European works despite the special nature of the channels and their focus on
news. As from 2012 these channels will be able to broadcast the whole day and
there will be a shift in their programming where the requirement for European
independent works will be even more relevant. The Board stated that DR HD and DR K channels, although they are
recent start-up must meet the independent works requirement. The Board notes
however that taken all together, the DR channels meet the requirements. The average relative proportion of recent European works by
independent producers for all channels reported was 73.6% in 2009 and 69.5% in
2010, representing a 4.1 percentage point decrease over the reference period. The evolution of the averages achieved over the period 2007-2010 for
European works, independent productions and recent works is reproduced in the chart
below:
2.5. Germany
Of the total of 130 identified channels, 92 channels were exempt or
excluded in 2009 and 93 in 2010. During the reference period, 52 of them were
exempt from the obligation to report on the basis of their very low audience
(below 0.3%) and 40 were exempt due to the nature of their programmes (news,
sports, teleshopping) or excluded due to a legal exception (local channels).Over
the reference period, no data was communicated for channel Super RTL concerning
recent works and for channel Tele 5 (Germany) regarding European works by
independent producers as well as recent works. In 2010, no data at all was
communicated for channel Nickelodeon. European works All reported channels broadcast an average of 71.7% in 2009 and
73.7% in 2010 representing a 2.0 percentage point increase over the reference
period. In 2009, out of 38 reported channels, 10 channels did not
achieve the majority proportion of transmission time specified in Article 16 of
the Directive. The compliance rate[18]
was 73.7%. For 2010, out of 36 reported channels, 10 channels did not
achieve the majority proportion specified in Article 16
of the Directive. The compliance rate was 70.3%. The national report explains that the decrease in European works
broadcast by some channels of the ProSieben Sat.1 Group is due to changes in
programming structures to adapt to economic conditions. European works made by independent producers The average proportion of European works by independent producers on
all reported channels was 40.4% in 2009 and 43.6% in 2010, representing a 3.2
percentage point increase over the reference period and a 18.1 percentage point
decrease compared to 2007. For 2009, out of 37 reported channels, only four channels
(MTV (Germany), PHOENIX, VIVA (Germany) and ZDF Infokanal) did not achieve the
minimum proportion under Article 17 of the Directive. In 2010, out of 35
reported channels, only two channels (PHOENIX and ZDF Infokanal) did not exceed
the 10% threshold. The compliance rates were 86.8% in 2009 and 89.2% in 2010. According to the national report, in case private channels were
unable to meet the quotas for independent productions, this was due to the fact
that they are using programming from their parent companies. In addition, PHOENIX's failure to meet the proportion of independent works was due to its specific
nature as a niche channel, devoted to producing its own 'event broadcasts' and
discussion programmes. The average relative proportion of recent European works by
independent producers for all channels reported was 71.5% in 2009 and 71.0% in
2010, representing a 0.5 percentage point decrease over the reference period. The evolution of the averages achieved over the period 2007-2010 for
European works, independent productions and recent works is reproduced in the
chart below:
2.6. Estonia
Of the total of 13 identified channels, one local channel was
subject to a legal exception and two channels broadcasting in a non-EU language
were not covered by Articles 16 and 17 of the Directive. No data was
communicated for one channel (TV 14) in 2009 and for the same channel no data
was communicated in 2010 concerning recent European works by independent
producers. European works All reported channels broadcast an average of 67.0% in 2009 and
71.7% in 2010 representing a 4.7 percentage point increase over the reference
period. In 2009, all seven reported channels achieved the majority
proportion of transmission time specified in Article 16 of the Directive. The compliance
rate[19]
was 87.5%. For 2010, out of eight reported channels, only one channel
(TV6 (Estonia) did not achieved the majority proportion specified in Article 16 of the Directive. The compliance rate was
87.5%. Failure to reach the required proportions of European works by TV6
was due to the impossibility for the channel to acquire rights for new European
works in time to replace several European series which had come to an end.
Improvement has been made in the management of the channel which will enable
increasing the broadcast of European programmes. In 2011 the Regulatory Body
issued a precept for breaching the obligation set out in the Media Services Act
and is currently monitoring its application. European works made by independent producers The average proportion of European works by independent producers on
all reported channels was 48.4% in 2009 and 46.4% in 2010, representing a 2
percentage point decrease over the reference period. In 2009, all seven reported channels, in 2010, all
eight reported channels achieved the minimum proportion under Article 17 of the
Directive. The compliance rates were 87.5% in 2009 and 100% in 2010. The average relative proportion of recent European works by
independent producers for all seven channels reported was 44.6% in 2009 and
52.3% in 2010, representing a 7.7 percentage point decrease over the reference
period. The evolution of the averages achieved over the period 2007-2010 for
European works, independent productions and recent works is reproduced in the
chart below:
2.7. Ireland
Of the total of 11 identified channels, six sports channels were
exempt during the reference period. European works All reported channels broadcast an average of 44.0% in 2009 and
48.4% in 2010 representing a 4.4 percentage point increase over the reference
period. In 2009 and 2010, out of five reported channels, only two
channels achieved the majority proportion of transmission time specified in
Article 16 of the Directive, while three channels did not (Channel 6/3e, RTE 2,
TG4). The compliance rate[20]
was 40% during the reference period. RTÉ2's failure to comply with the European works quota is explained
by the fact that RTÉ2 carries almost RTÉ sports programming which is a key part
of the public service remit. The channel was not able to fulfil the majority
proportion of European works for the rest of the programming. Sport coverage and news provide also a significant percentage of
hours (35%) to TG4's schedule. These programmes are supplied from within the EU
area but are ineligible in the calculation of the proportion of European works. European works made by independent producers The average proportion of European works by independent producers on
all reported channels was 21.7% in 2009 and 20.6% in 2010, representing a 1.1
percentage point decrease over the reference period. For 2009, out of five reported channels, only one channel
(Channel 6/3e) did not achieve the minimum proportion under Article 17 of the
Directive. In 2010, all five reported channels exceeded the 10%
threshold. The compliance rates were 80% in 2009 and 100.0% in 2010. The average relative proportion of recent European works by
independent producers for all channels reported was 74.9% in 2009 and 75.5% in
2010, representing a 0.6 percentage point increase over the reference period. The evolution of the averages achieved over the period 2009-2010 for
European works, independent productions and recent works is reproduced in the
chart below:
2.8. Greece
Over the reference period, out of the total of 95 identified
channels, 7 channels were exempt due to the nature of their programmes (news,
sports and teleshopping) and one channel (ΡΑΔΙΟΤΗΛΕΟΠΤΙΚΟΣ ΣΤΑΘΜΟΣ 4Ε) was
granted an individual exemption. In 2009, data was missing for eight channels
concerning European works and independent productions and for nine regarding
recent works. In 2010, data was communicated for two channels concerning European
works and independent productions and for four channels regarding recent works.
European works All reported channels broadcast an average of 62.6% in 2009 and
61.0% in 2010 representing a 1.6 percentage point decrease over the reference
period. In 2009, out of 79 reported channels, 18 channels did not
achieve the majority proportion of transmission time specified in Article 16 of
the Directive. The compliance rate[21]
was 70.1% during the reference period. For 2010, out of 85 reported channels, 20 channels did not
achieve the majority proportion specified in Article 16
of the Directive. The compliance rate was 74.7%. The national report refers to the specific case of the channels
Novasports 1 (which mainly broadcasts sports events) and Disney XD which share
the same frequency. Figures for both channels have been combined. Both state and private national and regional channels which
responded to the Ministry's survey declared that they would make every effort
to improve their performance so as to comply with the provisions of the
Directive. European works made by independent producers The average proportion of European works by independent producers on
all reported channels was 19.7% in 2009 and 22.3% in 2010, representing a 2.6
percentage point increase over the reference period. These results also
represent an increase compared to the previous reference period (7.8 percentage
points). The Commission welcomes this positive development. In 2009, out of 79 reported channels, 28 channels did not
achieve the minimum proportion under Article 17 of the Directive. In 2010,
out of 85 reported channels, 27 channels did not exceed the 10% threshold. The
compliance rates were 58.6% in 2009 and 66.7% in 2010. The average relative proportion of recent European works by
independent producers for all channels reported was 34.0% in 2009 and 36.8% in
2010, representing a 2.8 percentage point increase over the reference period. Here
again, the results achieved during the reference period represent a significant
increase compared with the previous one (15.2 percentage points). The evolution of the averages achieved over the period 2007-2010 for
European works, independent productions and recent works is reproduced in the
chart below:
2.9. Spain
Of the total of 175 identified channels, one channel (Nitro) was
non-operational in 2009. 145 channels were exempt or excluded over the
reference period: 117 were exempt from the obligation to report on the basis of
their very low audience (below 0.3%) and 28 were exempt due to the nature of
their programming (news, sports, games and teleshopping) or excluded due to a
legal exception (local channels). In 2009, no data was communicated at all for
one channel (8TV) and for two channels (Canal Sur, Canal Sur 2) regarding recent
European works. No data on recent works was communicated for three channels
(Canal Sur, Canal Sur 2 and Veo7) in 2010. European works All reported channels broadcast an average of 60.2% in 2009 and
59.6% in 2010 representing a 0.6 percentage point decrease during the reference
period. In 2009, out of 28 reported channels, 21 achieved the
majority proportion of transmission time specified in Article 16 of the
Directive, while seven channels (Fox España, Disney Channel, Clan TVE, Canal+
España, AXN, Telemadrid and TVCanaria) did not. The compliance rate[22] was 72.4%. For 2010, out of 30 reported channels, 21 achieved the
majority proportion specified in Article 16 of the
Directive, while nine channels (Neox, Nitro, Fox España, Clan TVE, Canal+
España, AXN, Telemadrid, Aragon television and TVCanaria) did not. The compliance
rate was 70%. The report points out that some DTT channels have recently been
launched and intend to achieve the proportion of European works on a
progressive basis. In other cases, small channels with an audience share
sometimes lower than 0.5% or thematic channels show difficulties in complying
with the quota. In that respect the Commission would like to reiterate that the
obligation to broadcast a majority of European works applies to all channels. European works made by independent producers The average proportion of European works by independent producers on
all reported channels was 32.1% in 2009 and 34.3% in 2010, representing a 2.2
percentage point increase over the reference period. For 2009, out of 28 reported channels, 26 achieved the
minimum proportion under Article 17 of the Directive, while two channels (Fox
España and TVE La 1) did not. In 2010, out of 30 reported channels, two
channels (8TV, Fox España) remained below the 10% threshold. The compliance
rates were 89.7% in 2009 and 93.3% in 2010. According to the report, although the
achievement of independent works proportion is higher than in the case of
European works, the reasons for failure are the same as for the requirement set
out in Article 16. The average relative proportion of recent European works by
independent producers for all channels reported was 65.0% in 2009 and 74.4% in
2010, representing a 9.4 percentage point increase over the reference period. The evolution of the averages achieved over the period 2007-2010 for
European works, independent productions and recent works is reproduced in the
chart below:
2.10. France
Out of the total of 160 identified channels, during the reference
period, 25 channels were exempt from the obligation to report on the basis of
their very low audience (below 0.3%) and 32 channels were exempt due to the
nature of their programmes (news, sports, teleshopping). One channel (Orange
Sport) was exempt in 2009 only. In 2009, no data at all was communicated for
two channels, data was missing for three channels regarding independent
productions and for nine channels regarding recent works. In 2010, no data at
all was communicated for 6 channels, data was missing for 7 channels regarding
independent productions and for 8 channels regarding recent works. European works All reported channels broadcast an average of 72.3% in 2009 and
70.1% in 2010 representing a 2.2 percentage point decrease over the reference
period. In 2009, all 96 reported channels achieved the majority
proportion of transmission time specified in Article 16 of the Directive. The
compliance rate[23]
was 98.0%. For 2010, out of 97 reported channels, only 4 channels
(Africabox TV, Trace Tropical, Trace TV and Virgin 17 (*)/Direct Star depuis
septembre 2010) did not achieve the majority proportion specified in Article 16 of the Directive. The compliance rate was 90.3%. European works made by independent producers The average proportion of European works by independent producers on
all reported channels was 50.4% in 2009 and 49.5% in 2010, representing a 0.9
percentage point decrease over the reference period. For 2009, out of 95 reported channels, only two channels (AB
1 and W9 (*)) did not achieve the minimum proportion under Article 17 of the
Directive. In 2010, out of 96 reported channels, the same two channels
(AB 1 and W9 (*)) did not exceed the 10% threshold. The compliance rates were
94.9% in 2009 and 91.3% in 2010. The average relative proportion of recent European works by
independent producers for all channels reported was 59.4% in 2009 and 60.0% in
2010, representing a 0.6 percentage point increase over the reference period. French legislation imposes an obligation on television channels to
finance European independent productions. As explained in the national report,
the French regulation contains stricter rules than the ones set out in Article
17. 0bligations to invest in audiovisual and cinematographic production are
expressed as percentages of turnover and not on the basis of programme budgets.
For certain broadcasters, the obligation is even stricter since they may only
declare investments in certain types of productions. In addition the French
legislation does not consider ‘recent’ works (less than five years) but ‘new’
productions (produced during the year). The national report underlines that for these reasons some
television channels (such as Direct Star and W9) may display figures which are
below the percentage set out in Article 17, which does not indicate that they
do not comply with this provision. In this respect, the Commission would like
to insist on the need to present data in a way that accurately reflects the
compliance of French channels with Article 17 of the Directive. For
comparability purposes, all national data should be calculated and reported in
relation to the same basis. The evolution of the averages achieved over the period 2007-2010 for
European works, independent productions and recent works is reproduced in the
chart below:
2.11. Italy
Of the total of 345 identified channels, six channels (MTV +, RAI 5,
Mediaset Extra, LA5, LA7D and Arturo) were non-operational in 2009, while eight
channels (FOX LIFE, Next, National Geographic Channel HD Fra, FOX LIFE pl, FOX
LIFE Fra, National Geographic Channel Fra, JETIX and Sky Show) were
non-operational in 2010. Out of the identified channels, during the reference
period 107 channels were exempt from the obligation to report on the basis of
their very low audience (below 0.3%) and 171 channels were exempt from the obligation
to fulfil the quota set out in the Directive because of the nature of their
broadcasts (news, sports, teleshopping, promotional or user guide channels).
In addition, FOX CRIME was also exempted in 2010. European works All reported channels broadcast an average of 59.2% in 2009 and
60.8% in 2010 representing a 1.6 percentage point increase during the reference
period. In 2009, out of 61 reported channels, 41 achieved the
majority proportion of transmission time specified in Article 16 of the
Directive, while 20 channels did not. The compliance rate[24] was 67.2%. For 2010, out of 58 reported channels, 41 achieved the
majority proportion specified in Article 16 of the
Directive, while 17 channels did not. The compliance rate was 70.7%. The Italian legislation foresees that in the case of channels
belonging to the same group, the quotas have to be calculated on the global
amount of programming time, with a minimum threshold on each channel of 20%, as
it was already the case in the previous reference periods. The Italian
authority Agicom will initiate the necessary sanctioning proceedings against
channels which have not complied with the programming obligations. The Commission welcomes the increase in the proportion of European
works broadcast in Italy during the reference period partially compensating the
drop registered in the period 2007-2008. It also notes that all channels
communicated their data during the reference period. European works made by independent producers The average proportion of European works by independent producers on
all reported channels was 17.1% in 2009 and 14.8% in 2010, representing a 2.3
percentage point decrease over the reference period. For 2009, out of 61 reported channels, four (Alice, Leonardo,
Marco Polo and Nuvolari) did not achieve the minimum proportion under Article
17 of the Directive. In 2010 out of 58 reported channels, only one
channel (Steel) did not achieve the 10% threshold. The compliance rates were
93.4% in 2009 and 98.3% in 2010. In Italy broadcasters have the obligation to invest at least 10% of
their net annual revenues in European independent works[25], which
represents a stricter obligation than the obligation to invest 10% of the
programming budget foreseen in Article 17 of the Directive. The average relative proportion of recent European works by
independent producers for all channels reported was 12.6% in 2009 and 11.4% in
2010, representing a 1.2 percentage point decrease over the reference period. These
figures represent a drastic drop compared to the previous reference period
(53.5 percentage point decrease from 2007 to 2010). The Commission therefore
invites the Italian authorities to encourage the channels falling under their
jurisdiction to increase their transmission time of independent recent works. The evolution of the averages achieved over the period 2007-2010 for
European works, independent productions and recent works is reproduced in the
chart below:
2.12. Cyprus
There were only eight identified channels over the reference period
due to the legislation in force which did not allow the monitoring of channels
broadcasting in digital technology. This situation changed on 1 July 2011
further to the modification of the legislation in Cyprus. European works The eight reported channels broadcast an average of 50.3% European
works in 2009 and 50% in 2010. This represents a 0.3 percentage point decrease
over the reference period but a substantial increase by 20 percentage points
compared to 2008. Over the reference period 2 out of 17 channels did not reach the
proportion required by Article 16 of the Directive. The compliance rate[26] was 75% in
2009 and 2010, compared to 12.5% in the period 2007-2008. The national report stresses the significant increase in the
transmission time devoted to European works on the majority of channels, except
for two pay-TV channels, LTV and Alfa TV (which no longer exists). The
Commission welcomes this positive development. European works made by independent producers The average proportion of European works by independent producers on
all reported channels was 35.5% in 2009 and 34.6% in 2010, representing a 0.9
percentage point decrease over the reference period. The figure reported for
2010 represents a 7.3 percentage point decrease compared to 2008. Three of the eight reported channels failed to reach the 10%
proportion of European independent works set out in Article 17 of the
Directive. Two of them, MEGA (Cyprus) and SIGMA reported a 0% proportion of
independent works according to the indications contained in the Commission
revised Guidelines for Monitoring the Application of Articles 16 and 17 of the
Directive. The compliance rate was 62.5% in 2009 and 2010. The channels were reminded by the authorities of their obligations
stemming from the Directive. The average proportion of recent European works by independent
producers was 35.2% in 2009 and 33.2% in 2010, representing a 4.8
percentage point decrease over the reference period. The result achieved in
2010 (33.2%) represents a 52 percentage point decrease compared to the 2008
result (69.9%). The supervisory Authority is encouraged to incite the channels
falling within Cyprus jurisdiction to increase the broadcasting of independent
and recent works. The evolution of the averages achieved in Cyprus over the period
2007-2010 for European works, independent productions and recent works is
reproduced in the chart below:
2.13. Latvia
Of the total of 32 identified channels, 26 channels were exempt
during the reference period. 25 channels were exempt from the obligation to
report on the basis of their very low audience share (below 0.3%), and one
channel was exempt from the obligation to fulfil the quotas because of the
nature of its broadcasts (news). European works The seven reported channels broadcast an average of 52.6% in 2009
and 52.3% in 2010, representing a 0.3 percentage point decrease over the
reference period. In 2009 and 2010, out of seven reported channels, four
channels did not achieve the majority proportion of transmission time set out
in Article 16 (LNT, TV5 RIGA, TV6 and Pirmais Baltijas Kanāls). The compliance
rate[27]
was 42.9%. The reasons given for LNT's failure to comply with the majority
proportion of European works are the drop in advertising revenue following the
introduction of DTT in Latvia and the reduction of investments in home
production. However, the channel is planning to improve the situation following
an income growth. Pirmais Baltijas Kanāls is oriented towards Russian speaking
population in Latvia and the other Baltic countries and therefore broadcasts
programmes produced in Russia. Nonetheless the channel is currently increasing
the proportion of European works in its programming. Provisional data shows a
proportion close to 50% for 2011. European works made by independent producers The average proportion of European works by independent producers on
all reported channels was 18.1% in 2009 and 16.3% in 2010, representing a 1.8
percentage point decrease over the reference period. In 2009 and 2010, out of seven reported channels, only two
channels (TV5 RIGA and Pirmais Baltijas Kanāls) did not achieve the minimum
proportion set out in Article 17 of the Directive. The compliance rate was 71.4%
during the reference period. The average relative proportion of recent European works by
independent producers for all channels reported was 70.9% in 2009 and 71.1% in
2010, representing a 0.2 percentage point increase over the reference period. The evolution of the averages achieved over the period 2007-2010 for
European works, independent productions and recent works is reproduced in the
chart below:
2.14. Lithuania
European works All 11 reported channels broadcast an average of 60.4% in 2009 and
57.4% in 2010 representing a 3.0 percentage point decrease during the reference
period. In 2009 and 2010, of the total of 11 reported channels, 7
channels achieved the majority proportion of transmission time specified in
Article 16 of the Directive, while four channels (LNK, TV1, TV3, TV6) did not.
The compliance rate[28]
was 63.6%. According to the national report, the non-complying channels put
forward economic reasons to explain their failure to fulfil the proportion of
European works: decrease in advertising revenue and high cost of European
productions. The Commission notes that in the previous reference period the
same four channels already failed to achieve the quota set out in Article 16
and that they were considering entering into co-operation agreements to produce
audiovisual works at lower cost. However the results registered in the reference
period are overall lower than in the previous period and neither the regulatory
authorities nor the channels seem to envisage any measure to remedy this
situation. The Commission would therefore call upon the regulatory authorities to
encourage the failing channels to increase their broadcast of European works. European works made by independent producers The average proportion of European works by independent producers on
all reported channels was 40.5% in 2009 and 41.8% in 2010, representing a 1.3
percentage point increase over the reference period, therefore maintaining a
satisfactory level of broadcasting of independent European works. Over the reference period, all 11 reported channels achieved the
minimum proportion (10% threshold) under Article 17 of the Directive. The
compliance rate was 100% for the entire reference period. The average relative proportion of recent European works by
independent producers for all channels reported was 38.0% in 2009 and 32.2% in
2010, representing a 5.8 percentage point decrease over the reference period. The evolution of the averages achieved over the period 2007-2010 for
European works, independent productions and recent works is reproduced in the
chart below:
2.15. Luxembourg
Of the total of 20 identified channels, five channels were exempt
and two channels broadcasting in a non-EU language were not covered by Articles
16 and 17 of the AVMS Directive in 2009 and 2010. No data was communicated for
one channel (Current TV) for the reference period. European works All reported channels broadcast an average of 65.1% in 2009 and
67.1% in 2010, representing a 2.0 percentage point increase over the reference
period. In 2009, out of 12 reported channels, nine achieved the
majority proportion of transmission time specified in Article 16 of the
Directive, while three channels did not (Club RTL, RTL 5 and RTL8). The compliance rate[29]
was 69.2%. For 2010, out of 12 reported channels, only one channel (RTL
8) did not achieve the majority proportion. The
compliance rate was 84.6.3%. The national report indicates that although RTL8 did not achieve the
majority proportion of European works during the reference period, the 2010
figure represents a 20% increase over 2009.The channel which is relatively recent
has confirmed its intention to pursue its efforts towards increasing the
proportion of European works in its programming. RTL5 also improved its
performance, reaching a 50% proportion of European works in 2010. The channel expressed
its intention to strengthen the share of European works in its programming. European works made by independent producers The average proportion of European works by independent producers in
all reported channels was 55.0% in 2009 and 57.2% in 2010, representing a 2.2
percentage point increase over the reference period. For 2009 and 2010 all 12 reported channels achieved
the minimum proportion set out in Article 17 of the Directive. The compliance
rate was 92.3% in 2009 and 2010. The average relative proportion of recent European works by
independent producers for all channels reported was 64.6% in 2009 and 68.4% in
2010, representing a 3.8 percentage point increase over the reference period. The evolution of the averages achieved over the period 2007-2010 for
European works, independent productions and recent works is reproduced in the
chart below:
2.16. Hungary
Of the total of 39 identified channels, two channels were non-operational
in 2010. Twelve channels were exempt over the reference period; eight of them
were granted an individual exemption agreement from the obligation to fulfil
the quotas (one for 2009, two for 2009 and 2010 and five for 2010) and four
channels were exempt because of the nature of their broadcastings (sports and
news). No data was communicated for four channels in 2009 and for one channel
in 2010. European works All reported channels broadcast an average of 83.0% in 2009 and
81.0% in 2010 representing a 2 percentage point decrease over the reference
period. In 2009, out of 23 reported channels, 21 achieved the
majority proportion of transmission time specified in Article 16 of the
Directive, while two channels did not (4-es csatorna and Viasat3 Hungary). The
compliance rate[30]
was 77.8%. For 2010, out of 24 reported channels, 22 achieved the
majority proportion specified in Article 16 of the
Directive, while two channels did not (4-es csatorna and Ozone Network). The
compliance rate was 88.0%. The report indicates that the Hungarian media authority (until 5th
September 2010 "ORTT" after this date "NMHH") granted
partial exemptions to 8 channels in 2009 and 2010 regarding the achievement of
the European works proportion. Reasons for exemptions were mainly related to
the thematic nature of the channels and to the scarcity of European programmes
suited to their profile. European works made by independent producers The average proportion of European works by independent producers on
all reported channels was 42.9% in 2009 and 42.5% in 2010, representing a 0.4
percentage point decrease over the reference period. For 2009, out of 23 reported channels, only one channel
(Viasat3 Hungary) did not achieve the minimum proportion set out in Article 17
of the Directive. In 2010, all 24 reported channels exceeded the 10%
threshold. The compliance rate, in terms of number of channels, was 81.5% in
2009 and 96.0% in 2010. The average relative proportion of recent European works by
independent producers for all channels reported was 74.2% in 2009 and 67.9% in
2010, representing a 6.3 percentage point decrease over the reference period. The evolution of the averages achieved over the period 2007-2010 for
European works, independent productions and recent works is reproduced in the
chart below:
2.17. Malta
Of the total of 27 identified channels 18 channels were exempt because
of the nature of their broadcasts (sports and teleshopping) over the reference
period. European works The nine reported channels broadcast an average of 60.9% in 2009 and
79.4% in 2010 representing an 18.5 percentage point increase over the reference
period. The Commission welcomes this very positive development. In 2009, out of nine reported channels, six achieved the
majority proportion of transmission time specified in Article 16 of the
Directive, while three channels did not (Melita More, Melita Movies and Smash
TV). The compliance rate[31]
was 66.7%. For 2010, all nine reported channels achieved the majority
proportion specified in Article 16, thus the compliance
rate was 100.0%. European works made by independent producers The average proportion of European works by independent producers on
all reported channels was 49.3% in 2009 and 54.0% in 2010, representing a 4.7
percentage point increase over the reference period. For 2009, out of nine reported channels, only one channel
(Education 22) did not achieve the minimum proportion under Article 17 of the
Directive. In 2010, all nine reported channels exceeded the 10%
threshold. The compliance rates were 88.9% in 2009 and 100% in 2010. The average relative proportion of recent European works by
independent producers for all channels reported was 47.7% in 2009 and 51.9% in
2010, representing a 4.2 percentage point increase over the reference period. The evolution of the averages achieved over the period 2007-2010 for
European works, independent productions and recent works is reproduced in the
chart below:
2.18. The Netherlands
Of the total of 178 identified channels, one channel (Disney Channel)
was non-operational in 2009. 136 channels were exempt over the reference period
or not subject to Articles 16 and 17 of the Directive; 130 of them were exempt
from the obligation to report on the basis of their very low audience (below
0.3%) and 61 were exempted due to their nature (news, sports and teleshopping
channels). European works All reported channels broadcast an average of 77.9% in 2009 and 76.5%
in 2010 representing a 1.4 percentage point decrease during the reference
period. In 2009, out of 41 reported channels, 35 achieved the
majority proportion of transmission time specified in Article 16 of the
Directive, while six channels (Nickelodeon, Nickelodeon Denmark, Nickelodeon
Sweden, Nickelodeon Vlaanderen, Comedy Central and Jetix/Veronica (to 31-12-09)
Disney XD/Veronica (from 1-1-10)) did not. The compliance rate[32] was 85.4%. For 2010, out of 42 reported channels, 34 achieved the
majority proportion specified in Article 16 of the
Directive, while eight channels (MTV Denmark, MTV Vlaanderen, Nickelodeon,
Nickelodeon Denmark, Nickelodeon Sweden, Nickelodeon Vlaanderen, Comedy Central
and Disney XD/Veronica (previously Jetix/Veronica) did not. The compliance rate
was 81.0%. As was already the case for the previous reference period, the
report points out that the non-complying channels are mainly children's
channels. The production or commissioning of programmes in small countries with
a limited language such as the Netherlands is expensive. In addition the supply
of European children's programmes is relatively small and available programmes
do not always fit in with the programming of the channels. No reason was
indicated for the failure to comply of Comedy Central. The national authority
would require explanations. The national report also points out that by
contrast with the period 2007-2008, MTV channels communicated all their data
for the reference period. European works made by independent producers The average proportion of European works by independent producers on
all reported channels was 25.6% in 2009 and 22.4% in 2010, representing a -3.2
percentage point decrease over the reference period. The Commission notes a
steady downward trend in the broadcast of independent work (from 40.2% in 2007
to 22.4% in 2010) and would recommend that the national Authorities encourage
broadcasters to increase their transmission time of independent productions. For 2009, out of 41 reported channels, 31 achieved the
minimum proportion under Article 17 of the Directive, while ten channels (MTV
Denmark, MTV Norway (Nordic), MTV Sweden, MTV The Netherlands, MTV Vlaanderen,
The Music Factory (TMF), BVN, Omroep Zeeland, Omrop Fryslân and Comedy Central)
did not. In 2010, out of 42 reported channels, again ten channels (MTV
Denmark, MTV Norway (Nordic), MTV Sweden, MTV The Netherlands, MTV Vlaanderen,
Nickelodeon, The Music Factory (TMF), BVN, Omroep Zeeland, Comedy Central)
remained below the 10% threshold. The compliance rates were 75.6% in 2009 and
76.2% in 2010. According to the national report, no reason was put forward for
non-compliance with the 10% proportion of independent works. The national
authority will ask the channels to provide explanations. The average relative proportion of recent European works by
independent producers for all channels reported was 77.0% in 2009 and 77.4% in
2010, representing a 0.4 percentage point increase over the reference period. The evolution of the averages achieved over the period 2007-2010 for
European works, independent productions and recent works is reproduced in the
chart below:
2.19. Austria
Of the total of 57 identified channels, 45 channels were exempt over
the reference period; 14 of them were exempt from the obligation to report on
the basis of their very low audience (below 0.3%) and 29 were exempt because of
their nature (news, sports and teleshopping channels) or subject to a legal
exception (local channels). European works All reported channels broadcast an average of 74.2% in 2009 and
76.1% in 2010 representing a 1.9 percentage point increase during the reference
period. In 2009, out of 12 reported channels, 10 achieved the majority
proportion of transmission time specified in Article 16 of the Directive, while
two channels (ATV and ORFeins) did not. The compliance rate[33] was 83.3%. For 2010, out of 12 reported channels, 10 achieved the majority
proportion specified in Article 16 of the Directive, while the same two
channels (ATV and ORFeins) did not. The compliance rate was 83.3%. The national report points to the need for ATV to broadcast
international movies and series in order to achieve good audience shares
instead of European works which would have been more expensive in terms of
licensing and co-production costs. However, the report also stresses the
increase in the proportion of European works broadcast by ATV (from 27.7% in
2009 to 29.6% in 2010).No reason has been indicated for ORF eins' non
compliance. The Commission notes that these two channels were already below the
European works majority proportion during the previous reference periods and
would reiterate that one of the purposes of Article 16 of the Directive is to
ensure equal competition between broadcasters falling within the jurisdiction
of the Member State concerned. All television channels are therefore subject to
the same obligation to comply with the required proportion of European works
and enforcement measures should be adopted by the Regulatory Authorities. European works made by independent producers The average proportion of European works by independent producers on
all reported channels was 41.4% in 2009 and 38.7% in 2010, representing a 2.7
percentage point decrease over the reference period. For 2009, out of 12 reported channels, ten achieved the minimum
proportion under Article 17 of the Directive, while two channels (Pro Sieben Austria and SAT.1 Österreich) did not. In 2010, out of 12 reported channels, the same two
channels (Pro Sieben Austria and SAT.1 Österreich) remained below the 10%
threshold. The compliance rate was 83.3% during the reference period. According to the national report, the figures registered by the two
failing channels have to be put in perspective as they do not only correspond
to the "Austrian window" but also refer to the programme as it is
broadcast in Germany and Switzerland. The "Austrian window" mostly
consists of news and weather reports. The average relative proportion of recent European works by
independent producers for all channels reported was 73.2% in 2009 and 73.8% in
2010, representing a 0.6 percentage point increase over the reference period
and a 15.3 percentage point increase compared to 2007. The Commission welcomes
this positive development. The evolution of the averages achieved over the period 2007-2010 for
European works, independent productions and recent works is reproduced in the
chart below:
2.20. Poland
Out of the total of 73 identified channels, five channels were
non-operational (Eska TV, nFilmHD, nFilmHD2, Polsat Film and Polsat HD) in 2009
and only one in 2010 (Patio TV). Over the reference period, 14 channels were
exempt due to the nature of their programmes (news, sports and teleshopping).
In 2010, no data was communicated for one channel (TELE 5). European works All reported channels broadcast an average of 78.4% in 2009 and in
2010. In 2009, out of 54 reported channels, 7 channels did not
achieve the majority proportion of transmission time specified in Article 16 of
the Directive. The compliance rate[34]
was 87.0%. For 2010, out of 58 reported channels, 6 channels did not
achieve the majority proportion specified in Article 16
of the Directive. The compliance rate was 87.9%. The national report refers to the intervention of the Polish
National Broadcasting Council in cases of failure to comply with the proportion
of European works set out in the legislation[35].
In most cases the broadcasters undertook to increase the proportion of European
works broadcast or even achieved the target in 2010. In one case, the Polish
Authority had to impose financial penalties. One of the reasons for failure put
forward by the specialised channels nFilm HD and nFilm HD2 was the shortage of
suitable European feature films not covered by licensing agreements. European works made by independent producers The average proportion of European works by independent producers on
all reported channels was 31.0% in 2009 and 30.8% in 2010, representing a 0.2
percentage point decrease over the reference period. For 2009, out of 54 reported channels, only one channel
(Trwam) did not achieve the minimum proportion under Article 17 of the
Directive. In 2010, out of 57 reported channels, again only one channel (TVN-CNBC
Biznes) did not reach the 10% threshold, but this result only corresponds to
the first quarter of the year, when data was reported. The broadcaster complied
with the required proportion during the other quarters of the year. The
compliance rates were 98.1% in 2009 and 96.6% in 2010. The average relative proportion of recent European works by
independent producers for all channels reported was 74.0% in 2009 and 70.3% in
2010, representing a 3.7 percentage point decrease over the reference period. The evolution of the averages achieved over the period 2007-2010 for
European works, independent productions and recent works is reproduced in the
chart below:
2.21. Portugal
Of the total of 39 identified channels, two channels (Canal Panda
and Hollywood) were non-operational in 2009. During the reference period, 15
channels were exempted from their reporting obligation on the basis of their
very low audience share (below 0.3%), six of them having been recently
launched. 11 channels were exempt from the obligation to fulfil the quotas
because of the nature of their programming (news and sports) while another
channel (RTP Memoria) was exempted from the obligation to comply with the
independent works quota during the reference period. European works All reported channels broadcast an average of 66.8% in 2009 and
58.0% in 2010 representing a -8.8 percentage point decrease over the reference
period. In 2009, out of 11 reported channels, nine achieved the
majority proportion of transmission time specified in Article 16 of the
Directive, while two channels did not (SIC and SIC Mulher). The compliance rate[36] was 81.8%. For 2010, out of 13 reported channels, nine achieved the
majority proportion specified in Article 16 of the
Directive, while four channels did not (Canal Panda, Hollywood, SIC Mulher and
SIC Radical). The compliance rate was 69.2%. The national report highlights the fact that Canal Panda and Hollywood channels started broadcasting in November 2009, which may explain the very low
figures achieved in 2010. It is expected that SIC Mulher, Canal Panda and Hollywood will progressively reach the 50% threshold. The Commission recommends that the
Portuguese Regulatory Authority actively encourage these channels to increase
the transmission of European works. European works made by independent producers The average proportion of European works by independent producers on
all reported channels was 34.7% in 2009 and 30.2% in 2010, representing a 4.5
percentage point decrease over the reference period. For 2009, all 11 reported channels achieved the minimum
proportion set out in Article 17 of the Directive. In 2010, out of the 13
reported channels, two channels (Canal Panda and Hollywood, both launched at
the end of 2009) did not reach the 10% threshold. The compliance rates were
100.0% in 2009 and 84.6% in 2010. The average relative proportion of recent European works by
independent producers for all channels reported was 92.6% in 2009 and 86.7% in 2010,
representing a 5.9 percentage point decrease over the reference period. The Commission encourages the Portuguese regulatory Authority to
incite the channels falling under its jurisdiction to increase the transmission
of independent/recent works in order to reverse the downward trend registered
over the reference period. The evolution of the averages achieved over the period 2007-2010 for
European works, independent productions and recent works is reproduced in the
chart below:
2.22. Romania
Of the total of 82 identified channels, two channels (Transilvania
Channel and eMaramures) were non-operational in 2009 and another two (TvRM
Cultural and Pratech TV) were non operational in 2010. 24 channels were exempt
or excluded over the reference period: one (Bucuresti 1 TV) was exempt from the
obligation to report on the basis of their very low audience (below 0.3%) and
23 were exempt because of the nature of their programming (news, sports, games
and teleshopping), were granted an individual exemption or were excluded due to
a legal exception (local channels). In 2009, no data was communicated for 16
channels concerning European works and for 18 channels regarding independent
productions (including recent works). In 2010, no data was communicated for 18
channels concerning European works and for 20 channels regarding independent
productions (including recent works). European works All reported channels broadcast an average of 70.7% in 2009 and 67.9%
in 2010 representing a 2.8 percentage point decrease during the reference
period. In 2009, out of 40 reported channels, 32 achieved the
majority proportion of transmission time specified in Article 16 of the
Directive, while seven channels (Pro Cinema, Action Star, CineStar, ComedyStar,
Romantica, DDTV Direct Digital TV and Music Mix) did not. The compliance rate[37] was 58.9%. For 2010, out of 38 reported channels, 28 achieved the
majority proportion specified in Article 16 of the
Directive, while ten channels (Euforia Lifestyle TV (Antena 4), U TV (Romania),
Action Star, CineStar, ComedyStar, Credo TV, Romantica, DDTV Direct Digital TV,
Music Mix and TVR1) did not. The compliance rate was 50%. European works made by independent producers The average proportion of European works by independent producers on
all reported channels was 34.1% in 2009 and 34.6% in 2010, representing a 0.5
percentage point increase over the reference period. For 2009, out of 38 reported channels, 34 achieved the
minimum proportion under Article 17 of the Directive, while four channels
(Analog TV, Antena 2, Speranta TV and TVR3) did not. In 2010, out of 36
reported channels, three channels (Antena 2, Speranta TV and TVR3) remained
below the 10% threshold. The compliance rates were 60.7% in 2009 and 58.9% in
2010. The report does not provide concrete reasons for non-compliance with
the obligations set out in Articles 16 and 17 except the very small size of
some channels or their very specific programming (case of Trinitas TV, a
religious channel). However the national authority indicates that it encourages
those small channels to comply with the proportion of European and independent
works. The authority will initiate sanctioning proceedings against those
broadcasters which did not supply their data (summons followed by a fine if the
broadcaster does not comply with its reporting obligation). The average relative proportion of recent European works by
independent producers for all channels reported was 50.9% in 2009 and 56.5% in
2010, representing a 5.6 percentage point increase over the reference period. The evolution of the averages achieved over the period 2007-2010 for
European works, independent productions and recent works is reproduced in the
chart below:
2.23. Slovenia
Out of the total of 49 identified channels, one channel (POP BRIO)
was non-operational in 2009 and another one (TV PIKA) in 2010. During the
reference period, 35 channels were exempt or excluded due to a legal exception:
eight of them were exempt from the obligation to report on the basis of their
very low audience (below 0.3%), five were exempt because of the nature of their
programming (sports, news and advertising) and 22 were excluded (local
channels). In 2009 and 2010, no data at all was communicated for three channels
(Kanal A, POP TV, TV PIKA in 2009 and Kanal A, POP TV and POP BRIO in 2010).
European works All reported channels broadcast an average of 46.6% in 2009 and
47.4% in 2010 representing a 0.8 percentage point increase over the reference
period. In 2009 and 2010, out of 10 reported channels, four channels
did not achieve the majority proportion of transmission time specified in
Article 16 of the Directive. The compliance rate[38] was 46.2%. According to the national report both NET TV and VAŠ KANAL put forward economic problems to
explain their failure to reach the quota of European works. In both cases the
Slovenian supervisory Authority decided not to take any measures against the
channels. A written warning was sent to TV3. Although the required proportion of European works was not achieved
in Slovenia during the reference period, the reported data indicate a sustained
upward trend as from 2007. The Commission therefore encourages the Slovenian
supervisory Authority to invite all broadcasters falling within its
jurisdiction to pursue their efforts towards increasing the proportion of
European works in their programming in order to achieve the required quota. European works made by independent producers The average proportion of European works by independent producers on
all reported channels was 14.5% in 2009 and 18.3% in 2010, representing a 3.8
percentage point increase over the reference period. In 2009 and 2010 all 10 reported channels exceeded the
10% proportion of independent works. The compliance rates were 69.2% in 2009
and 76.9% in 2010. The average relative proportion of recent European works by
independent producers for all channels reported was 70.5% in 2009 and 64.5% in
2010, representing a 6 percentage point decrease over the reference period. The evolution of the averages achieved over the period 2007-2010 for
European works, independent productions and recent works is reproduced in the
chart below:
2.24. Slovakia
Out of the total of 34 identified channels, three channels (3V, TV
HRONKA and TV Nitricka) were non-operational in 2009. Eight channels were
exempt due to the nature of their programming (sports) and one channel (TV
ORAVIA) was exempt from the obligation to fulfil the 10% proportion of
independent works in 2009. In 2010, 8 channels were exempt from the obligation
to fulfil the quotas due to the nature of their programming (sports) and two
channels (3V and TV ORAVIA) were exempt from the obligation to fulfil the
proportion of independent works. As regards recent European works no data at
all was communicated for 22 channels in 2009 and for 24 channels in 2010. European works All reported channels broadcast an average of 71.7% in 2009 and
68.2% in 2010 representing a 3.5 percentage point decrease over the reference
period. In 2009, out of 23 reported channels, 3 channels (MUSIQ 1,
TOP REGION and TV Patriot) did not achieve the majority proportion of
transmission time specified in Article 16 of the Directive. The compliance rate[39] was 87.0%. In 2010, out of 26 reported channels, 5 channels (Krupinska
televizia, MUSIQ 1, TOP REGION, TV HRONKA and TV
Patriot) did not achieve the majority proportion specified in Article 16 of the
Directive. The compliance rate was 80.8%. The national report does not provide any explanation for the failure
to comply with the proportions set out in Articles 16 and 17. However, it
indicates that the Slovakian supervisory Authority warned the failing
broadcasters that in case of continued breaches of their obligations sanctions
would be imposed. European works made by independent producers The average proportion of European works by independent producers on
all reported channels was 29.0% in 2009 and 27.6% in 2010, representing a 1.4
percentage point decrease over the reference period. In 2009, out of 22 reported channels, five channels (CE TV,
Central TV, RTV, TOP REGION and TV Patriot) did not achieve the minimum
proportion under Article 17 of the Directive. In 2010, out of 24
reported channels, six channels (CE TV, Central TV, RTV, TOP REGION, TV HRONKA
and TV Patriot) did not reach the 10% threshold. The compliance rates were 93.3%
in 2009 and 75.0% in 2010. As regards recent European works by independent producers, no
data were communicated at all. The Commission recalls that, although Article 17
of the Directive does not set out a concrete proportion of recent works to be
achieved, it imposes an obligation to earmark 'an adequate proportion of recent
works' which applies to all channels and must be reported on. The evolution of the averages achieved over the period 2007-2010 for
European works, independent productions and recent works is reproduced in the
chart below:
2.25. Finland
Of the total of 18 identified channels, two sports channels (4Pro1
and 4Pro2) were exempt. Suomi TV was launched in December 2009. European works All reported channels broadcast an average of 57.2% in 2009 and
56.6% in 2010 representing a 0.6 percentage point decrease during the reference
period. In 2009, out of 15 reported channels, 10 achieved the
majority proportion of transmission time specified in Article 16 of the
Directive, while five channels (MTV3 AVA, JIM, KinoTV, Nelonen and LIV) did
not. The compliance rate[40]
was 66.7%. For 2010, out of 16 reported channels, 9 achieved the majority
proportion specified in Article 16 of the Directive,
while seven channels (MTV3 AVA, MTV3 MAX, JIM, KinoTV, LIV, Sub, Suomi TV) did
not. The compliance rate was 56.3%. The report does not provide any reason for the failure to fulfil the
proportion of European works set out in Article 16. In this respect the
Commission would like to remind that Article 16 (3) states that Member States'
report will provide the reasons for failure to achieve the required proportions
for each channel. The Finnish supervisory Authority Ficora reminded all the failing
channels of the obligations contained in Articles 16 and 17 of the Act of
television and Radio Operations and obliged them to increase the proportion of
European and independent works. European works made by independent producers The average proportion of European works by independent producers on
all reported channels was 31.4% in 2009 and 31.2% in 2010, representing a 0.2
percentage point decrease over the reference period. For 2009, out of 15 reported channels, only one (KinoTV) did
not achieve the minimum proportion under Article 17 of the Directive. In 2010,
all 16 reported channels achieved the 10% threshold. The compliance rates were
93.3% in 2009 and 100% in 2010. The national report does not provide any reason for failure to
fulfil the proportion of European and independent works set out in the AVMS
Directive. The Finnish supervisory Authority Ficora reminded all the failing
channels of the obligations contained in Articles 16 and 17 of the Act on Television
and Radio Operations and obliged them to increase the proportion of European
and independent works The average relative proportion of recent European works by
independent producers for all channels reported was 83.7% in 2009 and 83.5% in
2010, representing a 0.2 percentage point decrease over the reference period. The evolution of the averages achieved over the period 2007-2010 for
European works, independent productions and recent works is reproduced in the
chart below:
2.26. Sweden
Of the total of 62 identified channels, one channel (Canal+ 69) was non-operational
in 2010. 18 channels were exempt over the reference period due to the nature of
their programmes (sports) or excluded due to legal exceptions (local channels and
channels broadcasting entirely in a language other than those of the Member
States). European works All reported channels broadcast an average of 57.9% in 2009 and
59.2% in 2010 representing a 1.3 percentage point increase during the reference
period. In 2009, out of 44 reported channels, 26 achieved the
majority proportion of transmission time specified in Article 16 of the
Directive, while 18 channels did not. The compliance rate[41] was 59.1%. For 2010, out of 43 reported channels, 26 achieved the majority
proportion specified in Article 16 of the Directive,
while 17 channels did not. The compliance rate was 60.5%. The national report points out a clear improvement in respect of
European works compared to the results reported during the previous reference
period. The Commission welcomes this positive development and would like to
encourage Sweden to pursue its efforts towards a continued upward trend in the
transmission of European works. The various Canal+ channels which are below the 50% threshold show
very low audience shares (below 0.3%). Although their content is generally
dominated by US productions (in particular Canal+ First, Canal+ Hits, Canal+
Series) the proportion of European works is increasing, except in the case of
Canal+ Films because contracts with Spanish and French producers were not
renewed. According to the report, for the channels belonging to TV4 AB
Nordic, German and British content perform well and the channels intend to
achieve the proportions set out in the Directive. In particular new agreements
entered into by TV4 Film, TV4 Guld and TV4 Komedi should enable to increase the
broadcasting of European works. The two channels belonging to Nonstop Television AB are respectively
focused on action and science fiction and entertainment news. The output of
such content is limited in the EU. European works made by independent producers The average proportion of European works by independent producers on
all reported channels was 38.5% in 2009 and 39.3% in 2010, representing a 0.8
percentage point increase over the reference period. For 2009, out of 44 reported channels, 42 achieved the
minimum proportion under Article 17 of the Directive, while two channels (Star!
and SVT24) did not. In 2010, out of 43 reported channels, two channels
(Showtime and Star!) remained below the 10% threshold. The compliance rates
were 95.5% in 2009 and 95.3% in 2010. No reasons were given to explain the failure to fulfil the 10%
proportion of independent works by these channels. The average relative proportion of recent European works by
independent producers for all channels reported was 51.7% in 2009 and 51.1% in
2010, representing a 0.6 percentage point decrease over the reference period. The evolution of the averages achieved over the period 2007-2010 for
European works, independent productions and recent works is reproduced in the
chart below:
2.27. United Kingdom
Of the total of 675
identified channels, during the reference period, 117 channels were
non-operational in 2009 and 65 in 2010. A total of 85 channels were exempt for
the whole period: 27 from the obligation to comply with the quotas due to the
nature of their programming (sports, teletex and teleshopping, 39 were granted
an individual exemption and the rest were not covered by Articles 16 and 17 (due
to broadcasting in a non-EU language). In addition, three channels were exempt
in 2009 only and two in 2010 only. In 2009, 22 channels did not communicate any
data at all and one did not communicate its data regarding recent works. In
2010, 55 channels did not communicate any data at all. The number of
non-communicated data increased with respect to the previous reporting period. European works All reported channels
broadcast an average of 48.1% in 2009 and 47.4% in 2010 representing a -0.7
percentage point decrease over the reference period. In 2009 out of 448
reported channels 239 did not achieve the proportion of European works set out
in Article 16. The compliance rate[42]
was 44.5%. In 2010 out of 468
reported channels, 252 did not reach the majority proportion of European works.
The compliance rate was 41.3%. As was the case in the
previous reference period, the UK report indicates a variety of constraints to
explain failures to reach the required proportion of European works: the
specific programming and the recent nature of some channels; the difficulty in
finding European programmes and at competitive prices; the fact that some
channels are subsidiaries of companies based in non-EU countries and broadcast
programmes mainly from their stocks. The Commission reiterates that the
proportion of European works set out in Article 16 (1) of the Directive applies
to all channels of broadcasters falling under the jurisdiction of a Member State and covered by Articles 16 and 17, in particular in view of ensuring equal
competition conditions. Some channels (in
particular ANIMAX, Jimjam and FILMBOX channels) have also indicated their
intention to increase the volume of European works in their programming. The
Commission welcomes this positive element. At the same time it invites the
British regulatory authority to encourage the failing broadcasters falling
within its jurisdiction to increase the broadcasting time devoted to European
works. European works made
by independent producers The average proportion
of European works by independent producers on all reported channels was 28.5%
in 2009 and 27.5% in 2010 representing a 1 percentage point decrease over the
reference period. In 2009, out of
448 reported channels, 169 did not reach the proportion of independent works
set out in Article 17. The compliance rate was 59.4%. In 2010, out of
468 reported channels, 185 did not reach the 10% proportion of independent
works. The compliance rate was 54.1%. The average relative
proportion of recent European works by independent producers for all
reported channels was 66.6% in 2009 and 65.8% in 2010, representing a 0.8
percentage point decrease over the reference period. The national report
indicates similar reasons for failure to reach the minimum proportion of
independent works: recent nature of channels, difficulty in finding cost
competitive European independent productions and specificity of the programmes
broadcast (such as live broadcasts). The Commission would like to recall the
remarks made above in respect of Article 16(1). The evolution of the
averages achieved over the period 2007-2010 for European works, independent
productions and recent works is reproduced in the chart below:

Regulator for the Media). A) Reasons given by the Member State for failure to reach 1. Majority proportion of European works (Article 16): VMMa (Vlaamse Media Maatschappij): In 2009 the broadcasting channel 2BE did not achieve the 50%
proportion of European productions (39,8%). The percentage of independent
productions has stabilised compared with the previous report. If the three broadcasting channels of the VMMa (VTM, 2BE and
vtmKzoom) are considered together, the conclusion is that the requirements of
article 16 have been achieved in 2009. In 2010 2BE achieved the 50% proportion of European productions
(50,6%). SBS Belgium: The broadcasting channel VT4did not achieve the 50% proportion of
European productions (29,1% in 2009 and 26,6% in 2010). The majority of VT4 programming in prime time are local productions.
These productions are very expensive for the broadcaster, given that they
target a small market with fragmented advertising spending. More than 50% of
the budget was spent on European productions, so this broadcasting channel,
SBS, can indeed be said to be making genuine efforts to show European and
independent productions. The broadcasting channel VijfTV did not achieve the required
proportion either. Mainly bought-in programmes were broadcast. In 2010 a share
of 22% was achieved. Moreover, an average 4 hours per day are devoted to
phone-in games. This time is not included in the statistics, however. These
programmes are produced by a Dutch production company and therefore should, in
the view of the Flemish authorities, be regarded as European productions. 2. A minimum proportion of European works by independent producers
(Article 17): Here the only comment to be made concerns the public broadcaster VRT
for 2009 and 2010, and more specifically Canvas. VRT’s second broadcasting channel is divided between Ketnet (for
children and young people) and Canvas (information, culture, education). Canvas’s broadcasts did not achieve the target set in article 17 (9%
in 2009 and 4% in 2010). If both Ketnet and Canvas are considered as a whole,
however, the target would have been met easily (18,5% in 2009 and 15,5% in
2010). B) Measures taken by or envisaged by the Member State The Flemish authorities do not envisage taking any measures. C) Further comments The Flemish media landscape comprises a public broadcaster and
private broadcasters. The number of private broadcasters has significantly
increased. The regional broadcasters do not fall within the scope of Article 16
and 17. A number of channels which could not supply their data for the
period 2009-2010 because they ceased operations in the meantime have been
removed from the table (Kinepolis TV1, Kinepolis TV2, Euro 1080, HD NL, HD1,
HD2, Kust Televisie, Move-on (Flemish version), Move-X TV (Flemish version) and
Carrousel). BELGIUM

the Audiovisual Council (CSA) monitors compliance with the various European
quotas based on the following factors: an
annual declaration made by broadcasters; submission
of a sample of one week of programmes per quarter, which is defined
subsequently by the regulatory body, using an electronic chart and dated and
categorised data; an audit of calculation
methods; checking the data against the
published programme schedules and against a sample of programmes stored on a
monitoring system; lastly, in cases of
non-compliance, an investigation procedure, hearing and a decision taken by the
independent authority accompanied, if necessary, by a penalty. The CSA may also impose penalties if stations fail
to submit the appropriate data. The audit
reports and any decisions taken by the CSA in the event of non-compliance are
published, specifically on its website: www.csa.be A) Reasons given by the Member
State for failure to reach 1. A majority proportion of European
works (Article 16): MTV – Nickelodéon-MTV Wallonia –
2009 (25.8%) The station stated that it had had
'great difficulty collecting all the data (particularly clip details) for the
requested samples', and that it has therefore completely excluded the programmes
for which no data were available. Specifically concerning programming
for Nickelodéon, the station judged that it was very difficult to reach the
quota 'because the popularity of MTV NETWORKS WALLONIA is based on the specific
nature of its programmes, taken from the catalogue of its parent company, the
VIACOM group. Its economic model also relies
on giving priority to the use of this catalogue'. In
the station's opinion, 'MTV NETWORKS WALLONIA cannot question the very nature
of its schedule in order to avoid a potential penalty'.
The station has requested 'special dispensation, adjusted to take the
nature, the above specificities and the impact of the service into
consideration, which would allow MTV NETWORKS WALLONIA to develop its activity
in the Belgian French Community while guaranteeing better promotion of European
and independent audiovisual productions'. The station believes that
Nickelodéon's programming is 'by nature' not European, but completely
international. Insofar as Article 44(3)
does not refer to specific criteria, the station feels justified in applying
this article's provision for derogation from quotas of European works, for
linear television services which 'by nature intend to offer exclusively or
mainly non-European works'. Regarding MTV
music programming, the station pointed out that it is 'not dependent on the
VIACOM catalogue. Therefore, in order to meet
European quotas, almost all (90%!) of the music works are European works. In this way, we hope to demonstrate our willingness
to meet the quotas. The contribution of MTV
NETWORKS WALLONIA to independent productions by the French Community of Belgium
will also contribute to this promotion'. Finally, the station stated that it
had put, and was putting, mechanisms into place to compensate for the lack of
European works: investing in Belgian
independent productions, launching production by the MTV-Nickelodéon Wallonia
channel itself, programming French Community musical works that could have a
positive effect on the total number of European works. MTV – Nickelodéon-MTV Wallonia –
2010 (31.1%) The service reiterated an argument
similar to that of 2009. It drew the Board's
attention to progress made in 2010 in comparison to the previous year: 'please note that the proportion of European works
has increased significantly in comparison to the previous year (30.93% compared
to 25.81% in 2009) and we are still making efforts to reach the quota.' In particular, these efforts consist of
'broadcasting works, since 2009, by independent producers from the French
Community of Belgium which MTV has invested in'. BeTV – Be ciné – 2010 (48.7%) The station declared that the
examined sample was 'particularly unfavourable' and claimed to have met the
majority quota obligation over the whole of 2010, putting forward a figure of
51.23%. 2. A minimum proportion of
European works by independent producers (Article 17): BTV – AB3 – 2009 (8.5%) /AB4 –
2009 (3.6%) Regarding the broadcasting of
recent independent European works for AB3 and AB4, the station stated that 'AB3
almost reached the 10% quota in 2009 for the broadcasting of European works by
independent producers within five years of their production, but cannot surpass
it. However, once the new schedule was put in
place in September 2009, special attention was given to the choice of
programmes to be transmitted in order to come closer to reaching this quota. In this way, in the last four months of the year,
AB3 met the 10% set down in Article 44 of the Audiovisual Media Services
Decree'. It added that 'as at
31 May 2010, the average broadcasting time of recent independent
European works on AB3 is over 10%' while 'the average broadcasting time on AB3
of recent independent European works since September 2009 comes to 11.2%'. Concerning the specific situation
of AB4, 'because the channel has only recently started sharing with AB
SHOPPING', the station stated that it is 'not yet possible to judge to exactly
what degree this obligation has been met over the first months of 2010', but it
will notify the Board accordingly 'as soon as possible'. In the station's opinion 'AB4 is a
fiction channel with a very small audience (+/- 1%), generating a low, and
insufficient, turnover. Because of its
editorial position ("the cult series channel"), it has intrinsic
difficulties in meeting the obligation (…) particularly since there are so few
fiction producers independent of all broadcasting services'. It deduced from this that 'programmes that could
meet the definition of the quota and comply with AB4's editorial policy are
rare, and therefore expensive. Due to its low
income, it is very difficult for AB4 to buy these programmes'. It concluded that 'nevertheless, BTV will do its
best to improve its compliance with this obligation'. The station also announced an
in-depth review of the identity and programming of AB4, as a follow-up to the
review of AB3 carried out in recent months. It
stressed, however, that its editorial position is not due to change
fundamentally, which will make it difficult for AB4 to meet this obligation if
considered in isolation. BTV - AB4 – 2010 (9.2%) The station has stated that 'the
editorial position of AB4, which is devoted to broadcasting old series and cult
films, is incompatible with the quota's recency criterion. However, BTV pays special attention to meeting its
obligations and has therefore invested in recent high-quality European series
such as "Los Serrano" and "SOKO Leipzig". The obligation was almost met in 2010, since 9.7%
of AB4's broadcast over the sample period consisted of recent independent
European works, compared to 3.55% in 2009. Finally,
the CSA has, in the past, assessed this quota as an average over the totality
of a station's broadcasting services. For
2010, the BTV quota then reaches 11.5%'. BeTV – Be sport 1 – 2010 (5.1%) The station stressed how limited
the eligible time was (35 hours out of a total of 672), based on the following
calculations: 'what conclusion can be drawn
from the analysis of 5% of the broadcasting time of a channel 95% devoted to
sports events, apart from the special nature of this channel? (…) of which the attraction for our subscribers is
based on sports events.' BeTV S.A. also
identified 'the difficulty of acquiring European works from independent
producers in the area of sports, since in order to broadcast any
"sports" work, sports rights must first be obtained. These sports rights are not easily accessible to
independent producers (…) Independent production in the area of sports is
therefore very limited and BeTV only receives very few offers'. In terms of the law, the station wished to share
its interpretation of Article 44 of the decree with the Board: 'Article 4 of the European Directive on the
pursuit of television broadcasting activities provides that the obligation to
meet a broadcasting quota applies to the sum of linear services provided by a
particular station. The decree is in keeping
with a broadcasting obligation level based on the average over all of a
station's services. Enforcement of this
obligation therefore applies to the sum of services provided by BeTV and not to
one service in particular. It is true that the
decree stipulates in Article 40 that information on broadcasting quotas
must be provided by the station, service by service, to the Authorisation and
Supervisory Board. To summarise, it appears
that information on broadcasting time is provided service by service but the
CSA's inspection of a station must be carried out in terms of the totality of
its services. This is our interpretation of
Article 44 of the decree'. BeTV S.A. concluded by
stressing that it is 'very attentive to the promotion of European works and
independent European works, as shown by the analysis of BeTV services in the
2010 annual report, and that it is committed to continuing in this vein, in
compliance with the decree'. Recent works BeTV – Be sport 1 – 2010 (5.1%) See above B) Measures taken or envisaged
by the Member State Majority proportion of European
works (Article 16): MTV – Nickelodéon-MTV Wallonia –
2009 (25.8%) The Authorisation and Supervisory
Board notified the service of its failure to meet the quota for a majority of
European works. At the end of the litigation
proceedings, it adopted the following decision: 'The station has testified to being
in the special situation of starting up an activity specific to the French
Community, and to the difficulties of promoting European works, because of its
programming being so reliant on the parent company's catalogue. The Board has considered the
importance of a French Community-based thematic service for children,
programming a significant number of animation productions, and the contribution
that it could bring to the influence of the animation sector in the French
Community. It agrees to take into consideration the efforts announced by the
station to acquire autonomy over the decisions regarding production and
programming, as this will also contribute to meeting the objective for the
promotion of European works. (…) After deliberation, the
Authorisation and Supervisory Board has issued MTV Networks Wallonia SPRL with
a warning. MTV – Nickelodéon-MTV Wallonia –
2010 (31.1%) The Authorisation and Supervisory
Board identified, as was the case for the previous year, a failure to comply
with legal requirements, while noting the nearly 3% increase in the proportion
of European works compared to 2009, thereby reaching 31.11%. Taking the
station's efforts into consideration, the Board has taken careful note of the
steps the station intends to take in order to improve the situation from year
to year. Consequently, the Authorisation and
Supervisory Board has suspended their notification of non-compliance to MTV
Networks Belgium S.A. on condition that their efforts result in improvement of
their quota performance at each inspection until they comply with the
Coordinated Decree on Audiovisual Media Services. BeTV – Be ciné – 2010 (48.7%) The Board judged that quotas were
met over the totality of the station's services, which reached a level of
62.46%. Minimum proportion of European
works by independent producers (Article 17): BTV – AB3 – 2009 (8.5%)/AB4 –
2009 (3.6%) The Board has noted the station's
statements according to which the proportion of independent European works has
increased since September 2009, owing to a qualitative change of the
programming schedule and a new strategic position associated with the
reinforcement of its capital by a key stakeholder in the audiovisual sector. In view of the previous performance
of the station, which has been issued successively with a warning and fines of
EUR 20 000 and EUR 40 000 at the end of the past three
years, the Authorisation and Supervisory Board ordered BTV S.A. to pay an
administrative fine of eighty thousand euros (EUR 80 000). However, the Board considered the
most recent data presented by the station, demonstrating significant efforts to
ensure that the programming of AB3 complied with the obligation over the period
of one year from September 2009. It also noted the station's explicit
intention to conform to the Decree through the reorganisation of its television
schedule, with drive and ambition supported by the reinforcement of its capital
by a key stakeholder on the audiovisual scene. Consequently,
the College suspended the implementation of this order until
15 September 2011, pending: • a concrete interim evaluation of
this progress at the time of the annual inspection for 2010; • an evaluation of the first
semester of 2011, including the programming initiatives taken in planning the
schedule for the 2011-2012 season; • any other relevant, concrete and
verifiable information allowing the Board to judge that the aim of associating
the independent European production sector with the reorganisation of the BTV
station in the French Community of Belgium was indeed being carried out in the
legal proportions; In its final decision on
20 October 2011, the Board noted the station's continued and lasting
efforts, achieving an average of 10.65% broadcasting of recent independent
European works over the two services for the first semester of 2011. The fine was therefore not imposed. BTV - AB4 – 2010 (9.2%) The average proportion of recent
independent European works broadcast over the two BTV services was 11.43% for
2010. The Board noted that overall the service had complied with the
obligation. BeTV – Be sport 1 – 2010 (5.1%) The Board noted that quotas were
met over the totality of BeTV's services, reaching a level of 59.6%. Recent works BeTV – Be sport 1 – 2010 (5.1%) The Board noted that quotas were
met over the totality of BeTV's services, reaching a level of 58.99%.

method For the period
2009-2010, information under Articles 16 and 17 of the Directive has been requested
from the broadcasters falling under the Bulgarian jurisdiction. Out of the 45
identified television channels belonging to 32 linear media service
providers five channels were either inactive or exempt during parts of the
reference period. A) Reasons given
by the Member State for failure to reach 1. Majority
proportion of European works (Article 16): The majority of
the channels (22 in 2009 and 29 in 2010) fulfilled and surpassed the 50% quota
laid down for European works. 2. A minimum
proportion of European works by independent producers (Article 17): As regards the
12% threshold for works created by independent producers set out in the
Bulgarian legislation, the results are lower than for European works (18
fulfilled the quota in 2009 and 20 in 2010), which can be explained by the
media service providers’ different financial capacities (especially during a
financial crisis). As regards those channels which
have not reached the specified thresholds for the indicators in question, the
main explanation is that the law incorporates the “where practicable"
principle. The channels concerned also have certain specific characteristics
which are incompatible with the requirements of Articles 16 and 17 of the Audiovisual Media Services Directive and Article 19
of the Radio and Television Act, respectively. B) Measures
taken by or envisaged by the Member State C) Further
comments No further comments.

method All Channels registered in Denmark have been consulted for
information about their channels’ programming. The responses have been added to
the reporting. A) Reasons given by Member State for
failure to reach 1. Majority proportion of European
works (Article 16): The European works broadcast by three
channels – DR K, TV 2 Film and TV 2 Zulu – with an audience share of 0.9 %,
1.2 % and 2.5 % respectively, accounted for less than 50 % of
their broadcasts in the period in question. For DR K the proportion was more
than 50 % in 2009, when it broadcasted for two months, but fell to 37 %
in 2010. TV 2 Film saw a rise from 2008 to 2009, when European works accounted
for 30.1 %, but a decrease to 24.7 % in 2010. TV 2 Zulu has remained
around the 30 % mark for some time. 2. Minimum proportion of European works
by independent producers (Article 17): Less than 10 % of the programmes
broadcasted by seven channels – DR 2, DR HD, DR K, TV 2 Bornholm, TV 2 Fyn, TV
2 Lorry and TV 2 Østjylland – are produced by independent producers. The
regional channels TV 2 Bornholm, TV 2 Fyn, TV 2 Lorry and TV 2 Østjylland
broadcast mainly news programmes and to a lesser extent on locally produced
current affairs programmes. DR HD and DR K did not go on air until
1st November 2009, meaning that they have in fact only been broadcasting
for just over a year. DR 2 fell from 11 % in 2008 to 9 % in 2009 and
2010. B) Measures taken or envisaged by the
Member State Although the Danish Radio and Television
Board has not yet expressed its opinion on the measures taken with regard to TV
2 Film and TV 2 Zulu, the secretariat of the Board would recommend that it be
noted that these channels are still failing to meet the requirement for over
half the broadcasting time not allocated to news, sports events, competitions
and teletext services to be set aside for European programmes. It is
recommended that the Board emphasise that it expects channels to take the
requirements seriously and future reports to show increases in the proportion
of European works with a view to meeting the requirement for over half the
relevant broadcasting time to be reserved for European programmes. As regards TV 2 Bornholm, TV 2 Fyn, TV 2
Lorry and TV 2 Østjylland, the Radio and Television Board decided in its annual
public service statement to emphasise the rules and declare that although the
Board is aware of the special nature of the regions as broadcasters with a
particular focus on news, they should nevertheless satisfy the independent
producer requirement as far as possible. In this regard the Board states that the
channels should be aware of the need for compliance with the requirement for
productions by independent producers in connection with the new possibility for
24-hour broadcasting from 2012, when there may be a shift to a programme
profile and certain types of programme in which the requirement for European
works will be even more relevant. As both DR HD and DR K are recent
start-up channels, the Board stated that these channels, which have an audience
share of 1 % and 0.9 % respectively, must meet the requirements. DR
2, of whose 9 % of the broadcasts are independent productions, is not far
off target. In this regard the Board attaches great importance to the fact
that, taken together, all the DR channels satisfy the requirements. C) Further comments The eight regional TV 2 channels
(TV/MIDTVEST, TV2/NORD, TV SYD, TV 2/ØSTJYLLAND, TV 2 LORRY, TV 2/FYN, TV2 ØST,
TV 2/BORNHOLM) broadcast between 30 minutes and one hour a day in slots on TV
2's terrestrial channel and since 2010 also on the regional channels. Their
share is calculated in the slots on TV 2's terrestrial channel. These channels
mainly broadcast locally produced news and magazine programmes.

responsible State Chancellery of Rhineland-Palatinate. For the first time the
quotas of the 'Third Channels' belonging to the individual ARD regional
broadcasting organisations are also included in the report. Media authorities of the Federal States communicate data on private
broadcasters to the State Chancellery of Rhineland-Palatinate. A) Reasons given by the Member State for failure to reach 1.
A majority proportion of European works
(Article 16): While individual channels in the ProSiebenSat.1 Group failed to meet
the 50% share of European works due to their programme orientation, the group
as a whole achieved a share of 62% (2009) and 54% (2010). The decrease in the
share of European works in 2010 was due to changes in programming structures to
adapt to economic conditions. 2.
A minimum proportion of European works by
independent works (Article 17): In case private channels were unable to meet
the quotas for independent productions this is due to the fact that they use
programming from their parent companies. As far as ZDF-Infokanal is concerned, its programming is almost
completely made up of its own productions. The share of programmes from
independent producers is therefore slightly less than the required figure. PHOENIX's failure to meet the quota for independent productions is
due to its specific nature as a niche channel, devoted to producing its own
'event broadcasts' and discussion programmes. C) Further comments Regarding N24, 2010 data was only available until the channel was
sold on 30 June 2010; as a result the quotas was only calculated for
programming during the first half of 2010. 9Live ceased operations on 9 August 2011; Bahn TV ceased operations
on 31 December 2010; Jetix (Germany) ceased operations on 9 October 2009 and
MTV Entertainment ceased operations on 1 January 2011. Jamba! was renamed
'Ojom' on 1 October 2010. Sixx was launched only on 7 Mai 2010. In August 2009 PREMIERE became Sky Deutschland AG. The details for
Sky Deutschland include the PREMIERE data for 2009. Regarding the details for ZDF-Dokukanal it must be pointed out that
this channel's programming scheme was changed as of 1 November 2009, and that
it was renamed ZDFneo. However, the details provided are for the entire
reporting period. As shown by the comparison with 2010, the programme reform
did not lead to major changes as regards the relevant data.

EMOR+data submitted by the channels themselves. Afterwards analysed and
evaluated by the Media Department of the Ministry of Culture, the Estonian
supervisory body. A) Reasons given by the Member State for failure to reach 1. Majority proportion of European works (Article 16): All channels, except TV6 in the year 2010, reached the majority
proportion of European works. According to explanation given by the channel,
several European series ended at an inopportune moment and they didn’t manage
to acquire rights for new European works in time. There were also some changes
in the management of the channel. By now the situation has improved. 2. A minimum proportion of European works by independent producers
(Article 17) All channels achieved the minimum proportion of European works by
independent producers. B) Measures taken by or envisaged by the Member State Ministry of Culture as a regulatory authority has issued a precept
(on 14.04.2011) to channel TV6 for the violation of the according provision of
Media Services Act and is currently attentively monitoring its application. C) Further comments OY Videomeedia TV 14 – In 2009 was
operational only for a half year period, its audience share being 0,2%,
currently not existing. EESTI SPORDIKANAL OY Kalev Sport was

2.4(EBU) TG4: The data is extracted from underlying Oracle database of the
TG4 ‘What’s On’ broadcasting scheduling system and further designed and
filtered with the aid of the SAP Crystal Reports software application using
Escort 2.4 (EBU). The Broadcasting Authority of Ireland (the independent Broadcasting
Regulator) collects the data from the broadcasters on an annual basis, and then
subjects that data to a series of checks. These checks involve the use of
random samples from the schedules of all broadcasters involved, tested against
the claimed figures for the relevant broadcast period. A) Reasons given by the Member State for failure to reach 1. A majority proportion of European works (Article 16): RTÉ 2: RTÉ 2 carries almost all of RTÉ’s sports programming, which
is a key part of RTÉ’s public service remit. As sport tends to divide the
audience RTÉ have made RTE 2 the home for sports, whilst offering a non-sports
offering on RTE 1. Irish programming from the sports department makes up a very
large proportion of our home produced hours on RTE 2. TG4: TG4 content is sourced from the Independent Production Sector
in Ireland (all of which is broadcast in the Irish language) and from material
acquired from abroad, some of which is dubbed into the Irish Language. The
content for the acquired programming is sourced, in part, from within Europe
and the remainder largely from North America Sport coverage provides a significant % of hours to the schedule.
News is also a significant contributor. Together, Sport and News account for
35% of total broadcast hours. These hours are supplied in total from within the
EU area and are ineligible in the calculation of geographical spread of
content. 2. A minimum proportion of European works by independent producers
(Article 17): Minimum proportion was achieved. B) Measures taken or envisaged by the Member State RTÉ2: In their written response to the Department of Communications
on this issue, RTÉ stated that it was their intention to “increase European
production across genres other than News and Sports”. TG4: With existing budgetary constraints TG4 does not envisage any
major change in content source. The content sourced from outside Europe is, by
and large, entertainment/film material. Subject to increased funding, TG4 would
hope to produce more of this genre in Ireland in the future. C) Further comments No further comments.

Articles 16 and 17 of the Directive, despite persistent requests and without
providing any written justification for their failure to submit data. The data provided in the Greek report concerns 11 national
broadcasters, one encrypted pay-television channel and 28 regional
broadcasters. A) Reasons given by the Member State for failure to reach
A majority proportion of European works (Article 16):
Regarding national channels, on the basis of document 733/27/01/2012
and following inspection by the NCRTV, a majority of channels complied with the
European quotas set out in the AVMS Directive in 2009 and 2010. The Company Forthnet S.A. Pay Television Services- Telcommunications
Services, as part of its activity in 2009 and 2010, broadcasted on two frequencies
of ERT S.A. the following thematic channels: a) Novacinema 1 (formerly Filmnet
1), which broadcasts films; b) Novasports 1 (formerly Supersport 1), which
broadcasts sporting events and c) Disney XD (formerly Jetix), which broadcasts
children’s content. The data submitted were collected from records and
databases maintained by the individual departments in charge of the content
broadcast. These records draw upon data given by providers of this content
(television operators, film studios...). In the particular case of Novasports
1, which consists mostly of live or recorded broadcasts of sporting events,
transmission time was calculated as the portion devoted to domestically
produced sport programmes. The programme of Disney XD (formerly Jetix) is
produced by the well-known US-based content provider Walt Disney Company. In
any case, the children’s channel in question is broadcasted via the same
frequency, i.e. as a single channel as the sport channel Novasports 1;
therefore the figures for these channels are combined. They are below the
proportions set out in Articles 16 and 17 of the Directive. 44 regional private television channels responded to the Ministry’s
survey. Of these channels, 28 submitted a complete information, but nine (Art
TV, Ena TV, West Channel, Kriti TV (Crete TV), Super TV, Channel 9,
Nickelodeon, Kanali 9 and Nickelodeon + were unable to submit data for the
reference period, and precisely for the year 2009, as they had not kept records
for that period. Another four channels, Attica TV (Athens), 0-6 TV (Athens),
Vergina TV (Thessaloniki) and Zeus TV (Thessaloniki) stated that they were not
aware that they had to maintain a record of programme flow for no less than
three calendar years, as no provision stipules that such a record needs to be
maintained, nor do the television channels possess the adequate infrastructure
for such a large database. For the reasons mentioned above, the channels in
question did not submit any data. Finally, both state and private national and regional television
channels which responded in some way to the Ministry’s survey on the
application of Articles 16 and 17 of the Directive declared that they would
make every effort to improve their performance so as to comply with the
provisions of the Directive. 2. A minimum proportion of European works by independent producers
(Article 17): See above B) Measures taken or envisaged by the Member State The competent Department of the Ministry sent statistical data for
monitoring to the NCRTV, which is the competent independent administrative
authority for issuing licenses to broadcasters. In its letter ref.
733/27/1/2012, the NCRTV stated the following: ‘In response to your letter ref.
1533/23/1/2012, we inform you that, having considered the data you submitted we
confirm that all national television channels as well as the terrestrial pay
channels Novacinema 1 and Novasports/Disney XD fulfil the obligations set out
in Articles 17-19 of Presidential Decree 109/2010. One channel (Star Channel)
declares that 50% of its programming time in 2009 was devoted to European
works, while three television channels (ET3, Alter and Alpha) have not yet
submitted their data. As for the latter three channels, we reserve the right to
take further action.’ C) Further comments

Data are supplied by the
audiovisual media service providers themselves (in the case of service
providers providing national coverage) or by the Autonomous Communities (in the
case of service providers providing regional coverage under the control of the
Autonomous Communities). 2. Data are collected by a company
specialising in the television broadcasting sector with which the Spanish
administration has a technical assistance contract. 3. The data are checked and
analysed before the final assessment. A) Reasons given by the Member
State for failure to reach 1. Majority proportion of European works (Article 16): In general, the various audiovisual
media service providers who are obliged to report their data because they have
an audience share greater than 0.3 % meet the requirements laid down in
Article 16 of the Directive. However, there are various reasons for the required proportions not
having been reached in some cases: ·
There are some television channels that have
started broadcasting recently as a consequence of the widespread use of DTT and
whose proportion reserved for European works will have to be reached gradually
on the basis of suitable criteria, as provided for in Article 16(1) of the
Directive. ·
There are also other channels which are by
nature thematic and targeted towards a niche audience and have a very low
audience share, sometimes lower than 0.5 %, which must be taken into
account when assessing compliance with proportions. ·
The required proportion may not be reached by a
single channel while still being reached by a group of channels from a single
service provider when compliance with proportions is applied to the total
broadcasting time of its channels. 2. Minimum proportion of European works by independent producers
(Article 17): Although the degree of compliance
here is higher than for Article 16, the reasons for failure to reach the
threshold set for broadcasting European works by independent producers are the
same as those mentioned in the previous paragraph, i.e. recent broadcasting
start-date for some channelsand thematic nature with a niche audience for
others. B) Measures taken or envisaged
by the Member State If there is deemed to be
generalised and recurring non-compliance by one of the audiovisual media
service providers under Spanish jurisdiction, not covered by one of the
justifying reasons, and the proportions of European works and European works by
independent producers laid down in Articles 16 and 17 of the Directive are not
reached, or supposing that a service provider no longer meets these
proportions, the Spanish Administration will give notice to the broadcasters
(or to the Autonomous Communities in the case of regional broadcasters) that
they must attain the required proportions. In the case of continued
non-compliance, and if this is of a serious nature, the Spanish Administration
will impose penalties on broadcasters under the State’s jurisdiction or urge
the Autonomous Communities to take the necessary enforcement measures in respect
of broadcasters under their jurisdiction. C) Further comments No further comments.

CSA
database. Non-terrestrial channels: broadcasters' declaration examined and
checked by the CSA. Services with an annual budget below €150,000 are not required to
submit annual results, therefore no data on compliance with Articles 16 and 17
of the Directive is available. Production: Terrestrial channels: broadcasters' declaration checked by the CSA Non-terrestrial channels: broadcasters' declaration checked by the
CSA. A) Reasons given by the Member State for failure to reach 1. A majority proportion of European works (Article 16): The data declared under the 'EW' quota are calculated by using the
definition of a 'European work' in the Audiovisual Media Services Directive. 2. A minimum proportion of European works by independent producers
(Article 17): With regard to free-of-charge terrestrial channels, excluding news
channels (France 2, France 3, France 4, France 5, Gulli, M6, NRJ 12, NT1, TF1,
Virgin17/Direct Star and W9) as well as Canal+ and its derivatives the 'IP' and
'RW' quotas referred to in the Directive have to be interpreted taking into
account the following: Under French regulations, obligations to invest in
audiovisual and cinematographic production are expressed as percentages of
turnover or resources of audiovisual groups, after statutory deductions, and
not on the basis of programming budgets. The French definition of an 'audiovisual work' is more restrictive
than the definition used by the Directive. It excludes in particular programmes
which are primarily filmed on set, variety programmes and cinematographic
works. Investments declared in respect of the production of cinematographic
works have been added here. For the TF1 group, the Canal+ group and France
Télévisions, the range of works considered for their contribution is even more
limited since these providers may only declare investments in 'cultural and heritage
works' ('œuvres patrimoniales'), i.e. works which fall into one of the
following categories: fiction, animation, creative documentaries, including
those which are incorporated into a programme other than news or entertainment
programmes, music videos and broadcast or re-creation of live performances. The concept of recent works does
not exist in the French regulations. Under 'recent works' we have indicated
investments in new productions (pre-purchases, co-productions and writing
expenses). The works in question are simply therefore 'new' works (produced
during the year) and not 'recent' works. With effect from 2009, TF1, France
Télévisions and Canal+ have been entitled to pool their contributions to the
audiovisual production of the services they provide. The amounts indicated
therefore correspond to the overall amounts invested by these groups. With
effect from 2010, the relevant regulations have authorised all audiovisual
service providers (both terrestrial and non-terrestrial) to combine their investments
in audiovisual production. It is to be noted in this context that, with effect
from 2010, the contribution of Gulli has been incorporated into that in respect
of the services offered by Lagardère Active. The percentages given correspond to expenditure in relation to
compliance with obligations as transposed at national level: some expenses are
reduced, others may be subject to a coefficient. Investments in independent production correspond to investments for
works which meet the national criteria for independent production defined, for
cinematographic production, by statutory texts, and for audiovisual production,
by statutory texts and legal agreements between the CSA and broadcasters
regarding the periods for which rights are held. The criteria used to determine the independence of audiovisual
production are the non-holding of producer shares and the absence of
share-holding ties between the audiovisual service provider and the production
company. The criteria used to determine the independence of cinematographic
production are the non-accumulation of exploitation mandates and the absence of
share-holding ties between the audiovisual service provider and the production
company. The latter criterion applies to pre-purchases and co-productions only.
Consequently, some services may display rates which are below those
provided for in the Directive, since French legislation requires broadcasters
to allocate a share of their resources calculated on the basis of a more
limited range of works (cf. in particular the definition of audiovisual work
above) but in relation to a broader reference basis (turnover or resources and
not programming budget). The calculation methods for the Directive quotas 'IP' and 'RW' for
the channels referred to above (free-of-charge terrestrial channels excluding
news channels) account for: ·
the fact that the IP (independent production)
levels of Direct Star (formerly Virgin 17) in 2010 (8%) and W9 in 2009 (8%) are
slightly lower than 10%; ·
the fact that the RW (recent works) levels are
low or non-existent for some channels: Direct Star in 2009 (17%) and 2010 (0%),
Direct 8 in 2009 (30%), NRJ12 in 2010 (43%) and W9 in 2009 (30%). B) Measures taken by or envisaged by the Member State Following the examination of compliance with obligations by
audiovisual service providers for 2009, relating primarily to compliance with
regulations on the promotion of European works, the CSA: -
issued a letter of formal notice to the
audiovisual service providers which had not provided a report: 3A Télésud,
Berbère Télévision, Beur TV and TV5 Monde; -
issued a warning to AB1 for non-compliance with
its obligation to broadcast on 10% of its air-time European works by
independent producers; -
issued a warning to Mangas and Télé Melody on
account of the low percentage of recent European works by independent producers
broadcast. Following the examination of
compliance with obligations by audiovisual service providers for 2010, relating
primarily to compliance with regulations on the promotion of European works, the
CSA: ·
issued a letter of formal notice to the
audiovisual service providers which had not provided a report: Berbère
Télévision, Beur TV and Ma Chaîne Etudiante; ·
wrote to IF Télévision, which had not reported
its quotas under the AVMS Directive; ·
wrote to Africabox and Trace Tropical on account
of non-compliance with their quotas for the broadcast of European works; ·
issued a warning to AB1 for non-compliance with
its obligation to broadcast on 10% of its air-time European works by
independent producers; ·
issued a warning to Mangas and Télé Melody on
account of the low percentage of recent European works by independent producers
broadcast; ·
requested explanations from Ciné Polar and Ciné
Cinéma Star which had broadcast few recent European works by independent producers. C) Further comments The television channel Pinx TV no
longer falls under the jurisdiction of the CSA. It was registered by the
Commissariat voor de Media (Netherlands) on 27 April 2010 under the name of
Pink TV international. The agreement between the CSA and Pinx TV was terminated
by decision of 30 July 2010.

Agcom collects reports directly from channels; 2)
Agcom receives monthly reports by an independent
media research center (during the period covered by the report, Isimm –
Istituto per lo studio dell’innovazione) that has been specifically charged to
monitor the compliance with programming obligations according to the AVMS
Directive on twelve broadcasters (Rai uno, Rai due, Rai Tre, Canale 5, Italia
1, Retequattro, MTV, La7, All Music, Jimmy, Fox Crime, Sky Cinema), both 24 h
and during prime time (18:30-22:30). A) Reasons given by the Member State for failure to reach 1. Majority proportion of European works (Article 16): Italian legislation (Law n. 122/98, replaced by Decree n. 177/05)
delegates to Agcom the adoption of the detailed regulatory measures related to
the European and independent production obligations. This regulation was
adopted by decision n. 9/99, replaced by decision n. 66/09/CONS, which foresees
that in the case of broadcasters belonging to the same group, the quotas have
to be calculated on the global amount of programming time, with a minimum
threshold on each channel of 20%. The impossibility of adapting the report scheme to the peculiarities
of Italian legislation clearly affects the compliance rate, and we would
therefore draw your attention on this aspect, considering that during the ten
years of application of the mentioned calculation method, it has never been
considered as being against the spirit of the directive. This aspect will not
fit the format of the file either in the future, but nonetheless affects the
compliance rate notwithstanding its compatibility with the Directive. 2. A minimum proportion of European works by independent producers
(Article 17): No comments B) Measures taken by or envisaged by the Member State All requested broadcasters have communicated their data and those
that have apparently not respected the programming obligations have justified
their reasons, so it will not be necessary to activate sanctioning proceedings. C) Further comments The IP data inserted in the table are related to the investments.
The IP obligation in Italy is related to a 10% investment quota, according to
Article 44 (3) of Decree n.177/05 as amended by Decree n. 44/10. As with
programming obligations, the investments are calculated on the revenues
collected by the channel or, in case, by the Company that owns or controls more
channels.

down, producing thus the quotas as they appear in the attached sheet. A) Reasons given by the Member State for failure to reach 1. Majority proportion of European works (Article 16): There is a significant increase in the broadcast of European works
by seven stations, compared to the period 2007-2008. Alfa TV shows a decrease in the broadcast of European works.
However, Alfa TV was (it does no longer exist) a kids/sports pay-TV channel
broadcasting in an encoded form and not received by the majority of the
population. The same applies to LTV which is (still) a fiction (movies etc)
channel. 2. A minimum proportion of European works by independent producers
(Article 17): Only four of the eight stations that communicated their data, have achieved over and above
the minimum threshold of 10% of broadcasting time in promoting European works
made by independent producers. RIK 1 (CyBC 1) has a percentage of 9.5% which is very close to the
minimum threshold of 10%. CNC PLUS TV had a percentage of 4.2% the year 2009 and a percentage
of 1,8% the year 2010 which is below the minimum threshold of 10%. MEGA (Cyprus) and SIGMA, after examining the Concept of Independence
(according to the Revised Guidelines for Monitoring the Application of Articles
16 and 17 of the Audiovisual and Media Services (AVMS) Directive), as all the
other 6 stations did, informed the Authority that during the period in question
had no independent productions. B) Measures taken by or envisaged by the Member State The measures that the Authority is considering in taking towards
increasing the level and percentages of European works, as well as those of
independent producers being broadcasted from all TV channels under its
jurisdiction are: ·
To communicate to all national TV channels the
results and conclusions of the last report for self-regulation purposes as well
as remind them their obligation towards the 'acquis communautaire' concerning
this matter. C) Further comments During the period in question (2009-2010), the Authority did not
monitor all the channels under Cyprus Jurisdiction due to a national
legislative gap that did not allowed the monitoring of channels broadcasting in
any technological form other than analogue, i.e. digital. This situation has
changed since the 1st of July 2011. This is the reason why a large
number of channels are not reported since they have not been licensed by CRTA
and therefore were not monitored during the reference period.

A) Reasons given by the Member State for failure to reach 1. Majority proportion of European works (Article 16): Private broadcaster “Latvijas Neatkarīgā Televīzija” states that the
decrease in advertising market in 2009 forced LNT to reduce the amount of home
production. With the introduction of digital terrestrial broadcasting in 2010
the audience share of LNT decreased and consequently the income from
advertising fell down and caused a decrease in author broadcasts. Private broadcaster “Pirmais Baltijas Kanāls” states that it
occupies a unique niche among other Latvian TV channels. It is oriented to the
Russian speaking part of population not only in Latvia but in all three Baltic
states. Market research specialists of “Pirmais Baltijas Kanāls” carry out
market research yearly and based on that have concluded that broadcasts and
programmes produced in Russia are closer and more understandable for target
audience. Research data of channels' target audience indicate that TV
production of Russia and USA attract bigger audience than programmes produced
in Europe and increases the rating which is crucially important for TV
channels from a commercial point of view. The Broadcaster also states that
European works are more expensive. “Pirmais Baltijas Kanāls” considers that
their capacity to fulfil the quota of European works is comparatively lower
than that of terrestrial commercial TV channels. 2. A minimum proportion of European works by independent producers
(Article 17): Currently the only home production of “Pirmais Baltijas Kanāls” is
news that is not counted as European works. Taking into account the economic
recession and the lack of financing “Pirmais Baltijas Kanāls” is not planning
to start producing home production that would count as European works. B) Measures taken or envisaged by the Member State “Latvijas Neatkarīgā Televīzija” is planning to increase author
broadcasts on the basis of income growth. At the beginning of 2009 “Pirmais Baltijas Kanāls” launched
purchases and is striving to increase the number of European works and
according to provisional data in 2011 European works constitute 45-51% of
programme. C) Further comments No further comments.

Provision of Information to the Public each year broadcasters of the national
scope provide the information on the European works quota to the Radio and
Television Commission of Lithuania (Commission). The broadcasters themselves
carry out the monitoring of their programmes and calculate the percentage of
the European works in their programmes. Once a year, the Commission carries out the monitoring on European
works of all national scope programmes on a week’s basis itself. Having in mind
scarce resources of the monitoring staff, the Commission is able to verify the
data only by checking the information on the programmes of a given broadcaster
in a programme grid. In case the origin of a programme is not provided in the
programme grid, the Commission verifies it with original sources. Practice showed that the information provided by the broadcasters
and the findings of the Commission did not differ essentially. A) Reasons given by the Member State for failure to reach 1. Majority proportion of European works (Article 16): Four national broadcasters out of eleven failed to achieve the
European production quotas for the period 2009/2010. They blame it on the high
European production costs, the economical factors and the decrease of the
advertising market of the reporting period. 2. A minimum proportion of European works by independent producers
(Article 17) Same reasons as above. B) Measures taken by or envisaged by the Member State Only when the economic situation improves, there will be better
conditions to purchase more local and European production. C) Further comments

A) Reasons given by the Member State for failure to reach 1. Majority proportion of European works (Article 16): Club RTL’s schedule failed to reach the required proportion of
European works in 2009 and 2010. While waiting for CLT-UFA’s explanations,
attention should nonetheless be drawn to the strong increase in the number of
European works in 2010. As regards RTL5’s schedule, although the required proportion was not
reached in 2009, the situation improved in 2010 and the company confirms its desire
to schedule a greater number of European works in 2011. RTL8 did not reach the set objective in 2009 and 2010, but the
proportion of European works increased by 20% in 2010. The very high cost of
acquiring European works and the fact that this channel, launched just a few
years ago, does not yet have an established audience are the reasons for the
higher proportion of non-European works in the programme schedule. The
broadcaster confirms that it intends to take the necessary measures to continue
increasing the proportion of European works in order to reach the set
objective. 2. A minimum proportion of European works by independent producers
(Article 17): The minimum proportion of European works by independent producers is
reached by all the channels. B) Measures taken or envisaged by the Member State CLT-UFA S.A. has been formally instructed to take the steps needed
to ensure it complies with its obligations in the future. C) Further comments The channel Current Italie has not been broadcast since August 2011
and the broadcaster, which continues to use Current TV, is no longer able to
provide the required data. For Current TV’s schedule, the figure 52% concerns the years 2009
and 2010. The figure 70% for European works by independent producers concerns the
years 2009 and 2010. DVL TV S.A. lodged a bankruptcy petition in September 2010. Luxe TV’s channel (Luxembourg version) is broadcast by Opuntia S.A.,
which was unable to provide figures for the period under review.

self-reporting, the data supplied weekly by media service providers is
aggregated on a monthly basis. A) Reasons
given by the Member State for failure to reach 1. Majority proportion of European works (Article 16): In preface, allow
us to note that the failure to meet quotas for both European works and independent European productions primarily
resulted from the specialised, thematic nature of the channels and to Hungary's
narrow audiovisual market. In
their applications for exemption, media service providers often cite the
scarcity of works suited to their thematic profile (e.g. programmes on interior
design, climate or weather) that, while of a high standard, are still within
the financial means even of small channels. As for celebrity and entertainment
channels, meeting the requirement defined for the presentation of European
works is particularly difficult because local features are so strongly
reflected in celebrity and entertainment
programmes that they hold no interest whatsoever for audiences on
foreign markets. Moreover, European market players compete with each other, and
the services of media service providers are often broadcast in numerous
European countries, and media service
providers often purchase exclusive rights over the acquired content. 1.1. ln 2009, all linear audiovisual media service providers fulfilled
the quota of over 50% prescribed for European works, with the exception of the following media
services: a) Comedy Central Magyarország Zrt. - "Comedy Central" (was
granted an exemption based on the
agreement concluded with the media authority) b) Sanoma Digital Media Zrt.
- "channel 4!"
(was granted an exemption based on
the agreement concluded with the media authority) a) Comedy Central Magyarország Zrt. - "Comedy Central" media service The Media
Council's legal predecessor, the National Radio and Television Commission
(hereinafter: ORTT) authorised the exemption of Comedy Central Magyarország Zrt.'s "Comedy Central" media service by virtue
of its resolution number 1802/2008 (X.1.), allowing it to
allocate 10% of its annual a airtime to European works instead of the 50% as defined
in Article 7 (1) of the Radio and Television Broadcasting Act,
and 5% to independent European productions instead of the 10% defined in Article 7 (2) of the Radio and Television
Broadcasting Act. The media service
fulfilled the 10% ratio undertaken for European works, and the 5% ratio
undertaken for independent European productions. b) Sanoma Digital
Media Zrt. - "channel 4!" media
service The
Media Council's legal predecessor, the National Radio and Television Commission
(hereinafter: ORTT) authorised the exemption of Sanoma Digital
Media Zrt.'s "channel 4!" media service by virtue of
its resolution number 137/2009 (1.21.), allowing it to allocate 46% of its annual airtime to European
works instead of the 50% defined in Article 7 (1) of the Radio
and Television Broadcasting Act. The Media Council launched a procedure against
the media service provider by virtue of its resolution number 48/2010 (X.12.)
because the media service failed to fulfill the 46% ratio of
European works undertaken in the exemption agreement, only achieving 39.11%. Moreover,
it only achieved a ratio of 7.78% for independent European productions instead of
the 10% defined in Article 7
(2) of the Radio and Television Broadcasting Act, also failing to fulfill the undertaken
ratio of Hungarian productions, the latter two not affected by the exemption
agreement. (Continued under Section B) I.) 1.2. ln 2010, all linear audiovisual media service providers fulfilled the quota of
over 50% prescribed for European
works, with the exception of the following media services: a) Comedy Central Magyarország Zrt. - "Comedy Central"
(was granted an exemption based on the agreement concluded with the media
authority) b) Sanoma Digital Media Zrt. - "channel 4!" media service
(was granted an exemption based on the agreement concluded with the media
authority) c) Humor1 TV Zrt. - "Muzsika TV" (was granted an exemption
based on the agreement concluded with the media authority) d) Origo Zrt. - "Life Network" and "Ozone
Network" media services (was granted an exemption based on the agreement
concluded with the media authority) a) Comedy Central Magyarország Zrt. - "Comedy Central" media service The
Media Council's legal predecessor, the National Radio and Television Commission
granted exemption to Comedy Central Magyarország
Zrt.'s "Comedy Central"
media service for 2010 by virtue of its resolution number 2447/2009 (XII.9.), allowing it to allocate 10.5% of its
annual airtime to European works instead of the 50% defined in Article 7 (1) of the Radio and
Television Broadcasting Act, and 5.5% to independent
European productions instead of the 10%
defined in Article 7 (2) of
the Radio and Television Broadcasting Act. The
Media Council did not examine the 2010
performance of Comedy Central, as
the service was deleted from the register on 15 July 2010 upon
the media service provider's request. The
media service provider was relocated to a foreign jurisdiction. b) Sanoma Digital Media Zrt. - "4-es
csatorna" media service The Media
Council's legal predecessor, the National Radio and Television Commission authorised the exemption of Sanoma Digital Media Zrt.'s "channel 4!" media
service by virtue of its resolution number 2446/2009 (XII.9.), allowing it to allocate 47% of its
annual airtime to European works instead of the 50% defined in
Article 7 (1) of the Radio and Television Broadcasting Act. The Media
Council launched a procedure against the media service provider by virtue of
its resolution number 912/2011 (VII.6.)
because the media service failed to
fulfil the 47% ratio of European works undertaken in the
exemption agreement, only achieving 42.03%.
Moreover, it only achieved a ratio
of 7.48% for independent European productions instead of the 10% defined
in Article 7 (2) of the Radio and Television Broadcasting Act,
also failing to fulfil the undertaken ratio of Hungarian productions, the latter
two not affected by the exemption agreement. (Continued under Section B) II.) c) Humor1
TV Zrt. - "Muzsika
TV" The
Media Council's legal predecessor, the National Radio and Television Commission
authorised the exemption of Humor1 TV Zrt.'s "Muzsika TV" media
service by virtue of its resolution number 185/2010 (1.27.), allowing it to allocate 40% of its annual airtime to European works instead of the 50% defined
in Article 7 (1) of the Radio and Television Broadcasting Act,
and a ratio of 5% of independent European productions instead of the 10%) defined in Article 7 (2) of the Radio and
Television Broadcasting Act. The
media service fulfiled the 40% ratio undertaken for European works, and the 5% ratio
undertaken for independent European productions. d) Origo Zrt.
- "Life Network" and "Ozone
Network" media services By virtue of its
resolutions number 2449/2009 (XII.9.) and 2450/2009
(XII.9.), the National Radio and Television Commission
authorised Origo Zrt.'s
"Life Network" and "Ozone
Network" media services to devote 30%
of their respective annual airtime
to European works instead of the 50% defined in Article 7 (1) of the Radio and
Television Broadcasting Act. The media services fulfilled the 30% ratio respectively undertaken for
European works. 2. A minimum proportion of European works by independent producers
(Article 17): 2.1. ln 2009, all linear audiovisual media service providers fulfilled
the quota of at least 10% prescribed for European works of independent
producers, with the exception of the following media services: a) Pax Televízió
Zrt. - "Pax Televízió" (was granted an exemption based on the agreement concluded
with the media authority) b) Sanoma Digital Media Zrt.
- "4-es csatorna"
(was granted an exemption based on
the agreement concluded with the media authority) a) Pax Televízió Zrt. - "Pax Televízió" By
virtue of its resolution number 2119/2008.(XI.19.), the Media Council's legal predecessor, the National Radio and Television
Commission authorised Pax Televízió Zrt.'s
"Pax Televízió" media service to devote 1.5% of its
annual airtime to independent European productions instead of the 10% defined
in Article 7 (2) of the Radio and Television Broadcasting Act. The media service fulfilled the 1.5%
ratio undertaken for independent
European productions, and the statutory 50% ratio defined for European works. b) Sanoma Digital
Media Zrt. - "4-es csatorna" media service The
media service did not have any exemption in respect of independent European
productions for 2009; therefore, the Media Council
examined the annual performance based on the fulfillment of the 10%
ratio defined in Article 7 (2) of
the Radio and Television Broadcasting Act. As mentioned under Section l.lb),
the Media Council launched a procedure against the media service provider by virtue of its resolution
number 48/2010
(X.12.)
because the media service only
achieved a ratio of 7.78% of independent European productions instead of
the 10% defined in Article 7
(2) of the Radio and Television
Broadcasting Act, also failing to fulfill the 46% ratio of Hungarian productions
undertaken in the exemption agreement. (Continued under Section B) I.) 2.2.
ln 2010, all linear audiovisual media service providers
under the quota obligation fulfilled the quota of at least 10% prescribed for European works of independent producers,

the Media Council granted exemption for ComedyCentral
Magyarország
Zrt.'s
"Comedy Central" media service by virtue of its resolution number 2447/2009 (XII.9.) for 2010, allowing it to allocate 10.5% of its annual airtimeto European works instead of
the 50% defined in Article 7 (1) of the Radio and
Television Broadcasting Act, and 5.5% to independent European productions instead of the 10% defined in Article 7 (2) of the Radio and
Television Broadcasting Act. The
Media Council did not examine the performance in 2010 of the
Comedy Central media service, as the service was deleted from the register on 15 July
2010 upon the media service provider's request. The media
service provider was relocated to a foreign jurisdiction. b) Humor1 TV Zrt. - "Muzsika TV" media service As mentioned
under Section l.2.c), the legal predecessor to the Media Council, the National Radio and
Television Commission granted authorisation to Humor1 TV
Zrt.'s "Muzsika
TV" media service by virtue of
its resolution number 185/2010 (1.27.), allowing it to allocate 40% of
its annual airtime to European works instead of the 50% defined in Article 7 (1) of the Radio and
Television Broadcasting Act, and a ratio of 5% for independent European productions instead of
the 10% defined in Article 7

ratio undertaken for independent
European productions. c) Filmmúzeum
Zrt. - "Filmmúzeum" The
Media Council's legal predecessor, the National Radio and Television Commission
granted exemption to Filmmúzeum Zrt.'s "Filmmúzeum"
media service for 2009 by
virtue of its resolution number 1972/2009
(X.7.), allowing it to allocate 7% of
its airtime to independent European productions and works purchased from
independent European producers within five years of their production instead of
the 10% defined in Article 7 (2) of the Radio and
Television Broadcasting Act. The
media service fulfilled the 7% ratio undertaken for European works, and the 7% ratio
undertaken for independent European productions. d) TV Paprika Zrt. - "TV
Paprika" The
Media Council's legal predecessor, the National Radio and Television Commission authorised the exemption of TV Paprika
Zrt.'s "TV Paprika" media service in 2010 by virtue
of its resolution number 2443/2009
(XII.9.), allowing it to allocate a
ratio of 8% of its annual airtime to independent European productions
instead of the 10%
defined in
Article 7 (2) of the Radio and
Television Broadcasting Act. The media service fulfilled the 8% ratio undertaken for independent
European productions. e) Sanoma Digital Media Zrt. - "4-es
csatorna" The media service did not have any exemption in respect of independent
European productions for 2010 either;
therefore, the Media Council examined the annual performances based on the
fulfillment of the 10% ratio defined in Article 7 (2) of the
Radio and Television Broadcasting Act. As
mentioned under Section l.2.b), the Media Council launched a procedure against
the media service provider by virtue of its resolution number 912/2011 (VII.6.)
because the media service failed to fulfill the 47% ratio for
European works undertaken in the exemption agreement, moreover, it only achieved
a ratio of 7.48% for independent European productions instead of
the 10% defined in Article 7
(2) of the Radio and Television Broadcasting Act, also failing to fulfill the
undertaken ratio of Hungarian productions. (Continued under Section B)
II.) B) Measures taken or envisaged by the Member State: There is continuous
cooperation between media service providers and the Media Council in the course
of the monitoring of the fulfillment of quotas. The Media Council examines the
fulfillment of media service providers' obligations on an annual basis,
applying the legal consequences in
accordance with the principle of proportionality and progressiveness. 1. In 2009: Sanoma Digital Media Zrt. - "4-es
csatorna" media service The Media Council
launched a procedure against the media service provider by virtue of its
resolution number 48/2010 (X.12.) because the media service failed to
fulfill the 46% ratio for European works undertaken in the
exemption agreement, only achieving 39.11%
in 2009, moreover, it only achieved a ratio of 7.78% for independent European
productions instead of the 10% defined
in Article 7 (2) of the Radio and Television Broadcasting Act,
also failing to fulfill the undertaken ratio of Hungarian productions, the
latter two not affected by the exemption agreement. As
the media service provider referred to a defective database awaiting repair,
the Authority allowed the media service provider to re-send the modified data
for the entire year once the database has
been restored. However, the values calculated based on the newly dispatched protocol
only showed minimal deviations from the ratios originally determined by the
Authority. The media service provider breached its obligation to devote 46% of
its airtime to European works, only achieving 39.13%. Moreover,
it only achieved a ratio of 7.62% for independent European productions instead of
the 10% defined in Article 7
(2) of the Radio and Television
Broadcasting Act. Consequently, the Media Council imposed a penalty of HUF 500,000
by virtue of its resolution number 222/2011 (II.9.), which
the media service provider settled. 2. In 2010: Sanoma Digital
Media Zrt. - "4-es csatorna" media service The
Media Council launched a procedure against the media service provider by virtue
of its resolution number 912/2011 (VII.6.)
because the media service failed to
fulfill the 47% ratio for European works undertaken in the
exemption agreement, only achieving 42.03%,
moreover, it only achieved a ratio
of 7.48% of independent European productions instead of the 10% defined
in Article 7 (2) of the Radio and Television Broadcasting Act,
also failing to fulfill the undertaken ratio of Hungarian productions, the
latter two not affected by the exemption agreement. Explaining its failure to meet the quotas, the media
service provider referred to the impacts of the economic crisis, as a result of which funding
opportunities of smaller media service providers have been severely curtailed. The
Media Council imposed a fine of HUF
700,000 by virtue of its resolution number 1466/2011 (X.26.)
on account of the violation of the provisions on programme quotas. The media
service provider paid the penalty. C) Additional comments: In October 2010, the Media Council, established as the legal successor to
the National Radio and Television Commission, assessed the fulfillment of
quotas for 2009 and 2010. Article 7 (1) and (2) of
Act I of 1996 on Radio and Television Broadcasting, effective until 31December
2010, sets out the following requisite quotas in respect of
European works fornational and regional
media services subject to the quota requirement: "Television program providers shall devote over half of their
annual transmission timefor European works (...). Television
program providers shall reserve at least ten per cent of their annual transmission
time for (...) works originally made in the Hungarian language
that were created by producers who are independent of program providers or that
were purchased from such producers within five years of their production. "Act
CLXXXV of 2010 on Media Services and Mass Media (Media Act)
came into force on 1 January 2011, which
upholds the fulfillment obligation of the quotas defined for European works. The Media Council
examined the fulfillment of quotas for 2009
and 2010 on the
basis of Article 7 of the Radio and Television Broadcasting Act
and, for media service providers having been granted exemption, according to
their commitments undertaken in respective exemption agreements. The Media
Council examined the proportion of independent works produced within the last
five years. With regard to the fact that only the review of
performance over the entire calendar year can provide an accurate picture of the fulfillment of quotas,
in 2009 and 2010 the Media Council did not examine the
performance of media service providers operating in split-years or not
operating at all. Budapest Televízió Zrt.'s "f.a." (Budapest TV) media service provider was deleted
from the register on 1 September 2009. The legal predecessor to
the Media Council, the National Radio and Television Commission registered media
service provider Humor1 Tv Zrt.

service provider TV8Média Zrt. (TV8) by virtue of its resolution number
1885/2008.(X. 16.), however, the media service provider failed to commence

collects data on public broadcasting on the Nederland 1, Nederland 2 and
Nederland 3 channels on the basis of total programming (minus the exempted
categories news and sport, etc.). The data are then forwarded to the
Commissariaat voor de Media (CvdM) [Dutch Media Authority]. The commercial broadcasters reported to the CvdM on the basis of a
random sample taken from the periods specified by the CvdM. The periods
concerned were Saturday 21 March to Friday 27 March 2009, Saturday 9 May to
Friday 15 May 2009, Saturday 12 September to Friday 18 September 2009, Saturday
7 November to Friday 13 November 2009, Saturday 20 February to Friday
26 February 2010, Saturday 22 May to Friday 28 May 2010, Saturday 11
September to Friday 17 September 2010, and Saturday 22 October to Friday
29 October 2010. The commercial broadcasters with a cable coverage of more than
75 percent reported on all the programming in those weeks. For each
programme component details were provided, inter alia, of whether it counted
towards the transmission time to be taken into account, whether it was a European
production, whether it was an independent production, and the year in which it
was produced. All broadcasters reported by filling in a form drawn up by the
CvdM. The various percentages were then calculated on the basis of the total
data submitted. As a result of the “revised guidelines for monitoring the
application of Articles 16 and 17 of the Audiovisual and Media Services (AVMS)
Directive” of July 2011 enclosed with the letter of 23 August 2011, it was
established which programme channels could be exempted from the reporting
requirement on the basis of the ‘tolerance threshold’. Following the
introduction of that threshold, broadcasters with a market share below
0.3 percent in a Member State can be exempted from the obligation to
report on the European quota obligations. Following the application of that
threshold, the reporting obligation applies to 42 programme channels
belonging to media organisations falling under Dutch jurisdiction. Given the specific – and as a rule stricter – regulation of public
media organisations in the Netherlands, the Dutch authorities opted not to
apply the threshold to rural and regional public media organisations. This
means, for example, that, despite their relatively small market share, regional
public media organisations must in fact continue to report on compliance with
Articles 16 and 17 of the AVMSD. We found that less than 10 percent of the productions
transmitted by two regional public media organisations (Omroep Fryslan and
Omroep Zeeland) were independent productions. This is a point to be followed up
in the next reporting period. For calculating market share when applying the threshold, the CvdM
used two sources: 1) The market shares of
Stichting KijkOnderzoek (SKO) were used to determine which broadcasts targeted
at the Netherlands (with a licence in the Netherlands) have a market share of
0.3 % or above. 2) The market share
figures of the European Audiovisual Observatory (EAO) were used to determine
which broadcasts targeted at abroad with a licence in the Netherlands have a
market share of 0.3 % or above. These figures are only available for 2009
because the EAO will not publish market share figures for 2010 until the end of
December 2011. The assumption is that broadcasters with a market share of
0.3 % or above in 2009 will also be subject to the reporting requirement
in 2010. A) Reasons given by Member
State for failure to comply 1. Majority proportion reserved for European works (Article 16): MTV Networks BV As in the reporting period 2007 and 2008, various broadcasters
belonging to MTV Networks BV reported that in 2009 and/or 2010 European
productions accounted for less than 50 percent of their transmission time
(mostly fluctuating between 15 and 25 %, see Annex 1). As a result
of the specific type of programming (music and lifestyle), some of those
broadcasters continue to have difficulty in complying with the European quota. The niche character of the Nickelodeon-channels, which are part of
MTV Networks BV, being exclusively targeted at children, is also apparent. As a
result of this, in 2009 and 2010 again Nickelodeon Netherlands, Denmark, Sweden
and Flanders did not comply with the requirement to transmit European works for
the majority of their transmission time. It must be pointed out that children’s
programmes are relatively expensive. In small countries with a limited language
area such as the Netherlands, Flanders and the Scandinavian countries, it is
therefore difficult to produce (or arrange to have produced) many domestic
children’s programmes. It must also be borne in mind that the supply of
European children’s programmes is small and does not always fit in with what
Nickelodeon wishes to offer, i.e. non-violent, educational programmes. That is
why many ‘domestic’ Nickelodeon programmes from the United States are
transmitted. In 2010 the MTV-channels in Denmark and Flanders did not quite reach
the quota, with 48 and 47 percent respectively. This is only slightly down
on 2009, when the criterion of 50 percent European productions was
complied with. Lastly, it must be pointed out that, unlike the reports for 2007 and
2008, this time all the information requested was supplied by MTV Networks BV.
In addition, MTV Flanders and Nickelodeon Flanders have only been operating
since 1 January 2009. The Box Holland BV (parent company: MTV Networks BV) With 10 and 11 percent respectively in 2009 and 2010, the
broadcaster Comedy Central did not meet the quota for European productions. It
did not give any reasons for this. The CvdM will request it in writing to
provide details of the reasons. TV10 BV c/o SBS Broadcasting BV With a percentage of 31 and 36 percent respectively in the two
reporting years, the broadcaster on which SBS Broadcasting transmits daytime
children’s programmes, Disney XD (previously Jetix)/Veronica, was not able to
meet the criterion of 50 percent European productions. As described above,
this media organisation also has difficulty in reaching the quota for European
works as a result of the small market for programmes in its own language and
the limited availability of children’s programmes from Europe which fit in with
its programming. 2. Minimum proportion of European works by independent producers
(Article 17) MTV Networks BV For seven channels of MTV Networks BV, zero to a few percent
independent European productions are reported, while the statutory requirement
is to reserve a minimum of 10 percent of transmission time for
independently produced European works. Consequently, the channels for which
zero percent independent European productions is reported (i.e. MTV Denmark,
Norway, Sweden, the Netherlands, Vlaanderen) also do not comply with the 33
percent criterion for recent independent European productions. Here also, the CvdM will request MTV Networks BV in writing to
explain why the prescribed percentages have not been met. The Box Holland BV (parent company: MTV Networks BV) As pointed out in the previous paragraph, Comedy Central did not
achieve the prescribed percentage of European productions. As a result, the
statutory minimum percentage of 10 percent of independent European
productions was also not complied with. Neither broadcasters gave reasons for not achieving the minimum
required rate of 10 percent independent productions. The CvdM will request
these broadcasters to state the reasons why. B) Measures taken or envisaged by the Member State The CvdM will shortly be contacting two commercial media
organisations, i.e. MTV Networks BV and The Box Holland BV, in order to get a
better idea of the exact reasons why various quota requirements were not met. With these measures, the Dutch authorities hope to ensure that the
compliance rate in the next report is higher than is currently the case. If required, the Dutch authorities will keep the Commission informed
of the results. C) Further comments No further comments.

is primarily derived from the following sources: Market shares: “Austrian Media Analysis”
for 2009 and 2010 respectively. This data is based on the biggest and most
comprehensive survey on consumer behaviour in regard of media consumption
available in Austria. Single data points stem from broadcasters and internet
research. Platform: KommAustria´s files. Program type: KommAustria´s files. Funding: Legal situation A) Reasons given by the Member State for
failure to reach 1. Majority proportion of European works
(Article 16): ATV Privatfernseh GmbH indicated that without a (high)
share of international movies and TV-Series remarkable losses of audience
share, respectively viewers, would have to be faced. According to ATV´s opinion European productions are
likely to fail to achieve “good” audience shares. In addition European
productions - in ATV´s opinion - suffer from remarkable licence- and
co-production costs. Nevertheless it has to be stated, that the share of
European works increased from 27.7% in 2009 to 29.6 % in 2010. All other private broadcasters met the required quota. 2. A minimum proportion of European works by
independent producers (Article 17): As
regards the minimum proportion of European works by independent producers the
overall picture appears heterogeneous: Both
Austrian-based broadcasters producing a full program (ATV Privat TV GmbH &
Co KG and PULS 4 TV GmbH & Co KG) clearly met the required quota. In fact
both excelled remarkably (ATV Privat TV GmbH & Co KG: 27.1 % in 2010 after
25.4 % in 2009 and PULS 4 TV GmbH & Co KG: 18,75 % in 2010 after 5,12 % in
2009).

In Poland the reporting period in the field of
European works, independent European works and new independent works is one
quarter. A)
Reasons given by Member State for failure
to reach
Majority proportion of European works (Article 16):
a)
In 2009, European works constituted 43% of the
programming of the channel TVN Siedem. The broadcaster was asked by the
President of the KRRiT [Krajowa Rada Radiofonii i Telewizji – National
Broadcasting Council] to provide an explanation as to why the proportion was
lower than required. In response, it stated that the range of programming would
be extended to include works bought from Europe (mainly British and German
drama series). As a result, the proportion of European works shown on the TVN
Siedem channel in 2010 rose to 47%, which is in compliance with Polish law. b)
In 2009 the proportion of European works on the Canal
+ Polska channel was 43%. The
lower-than-required proportion of European works was due to the KRRiT
contesting the way in which broadcasts were defined by the broadcaster. In 2010, after taking into account the comments of
the KRRiT, the broadcaster achieved the required proportion of European works. c)
In 2010, its first full calendar year of
transmission, the broadcaster of the specialised film channels nFilm HD
and nFilm HD2 did not comply with legislation in force in Poland. The
KRRiT President called on the broadcaster to provide an explanation or to adapt
each of the channels to comply with legislation. The broadcaster indicated that
the lower than required proportion of European works was due to a shortage of
suitable European feature films not covered by licensing agreements. In
addition, it undertook to ensure that in future quarters of the year
increasingly more time would be devoted to European works. d)
The proportion of European works on the MiniMini
channel was almost 45% in 2009, while in 2010 this proportion fell to 43%, and
was therefore lower than the required minimum. The
broadcaster was asked to provide an explanation. Corrective
plans were put forward in response; however, these have not been implemented. Financial penalties were imposed by the President
of the KRRiT because of the lower than required proportion of European works in
the second and third quarters of 2010, with the result that the proportion of
European works rose to the required 45% in the fourth quarter of the year. e)
The proportion of European works on the
specialised channel Tele 5 was below the set minimum in 2009. Its broadcaster, Antel spółka z o.o., was also
asked to explain the reasons for its non-compliance with the Radio and
Television Act. The broadcaster cited
financial difficulties as the reason for the insufficient proportion of
European works and undertook to increase its efforts to search for European
works from distributors. Its licence expired at the beginning of 2010. A
licence was issued to the new owner for a channel with the same name but of a
different nature. For these reasons the
broadcaster did not provide a report relating to the first quarter of 2010.
Since the data for 2010 were not complete, they have not been included in the
annual report. It should be stressed, however,
that it can be concluded from the reporting data for the subsequent quarters of
2010 received from the new concessionaire, Mediasat Sp. z o.o., that the
required proportion of European works was reached.
Minimum proportion of European works by
independent producers (Article 17):
a) In 2010, European works by independent producers constituted 8.5% of
the programming of TVN CNBC. Examining the quarters of 2010
individually, it can be concluded that it was only in the first quarter that
the broadcaster transmitted a channel on which the proportion of European works
was less than that required by the Radio and Television Act. In the other
quarters of the year the broadcaster adjusted its output to suit legislative
requirements. b) In 2009, European works by independent producers accounted for 9.7%
of the programming of the educational/advice/religious channel TV Trwam.
In 2010 the broadcaster made every endeavour to bring this proportion into line
with the requirements of Polish legislation. B) Measures
taken or envisaged by the Member State The KRRiT President called on the broadcasters
mentioned in sections 1 and 2 above not to act in breach of Articles 15(3) and
15a(1) of the Radio and Television Broadcasting Act. Consequently,
most broadcasters brought their channels into line with requirements regarding
European works and independent European works. Those
broadcasters who did not comply with the request of the President of the KRRiT
were fined. C) Further comments 1. On 4 November 2004 the KRRiT, on the basis of its statutory
authorisation, issued a Regulation which reduced the required proportion of
European works on specialised channels. Pursuant to this Regulation,
broadcasters of specialised channels must allocate at least 45% of quarterly
transmission time to European works, with the exception of information,
advertising, teleshopping, and transmission services, textual displays and game
shows. The proportion of European works
in 2009 on the specialised channels Canal+Polska Żółty, Ale Kino, Domo and
MiniMini and in 2010 on the Planete and TVN 7 channels was below
50%, but this was in compliance with the KRRiT Regulation of 4 November 2004. 2.
Reporting data for the Patio TV channel only
covers 2009, as in 2010 the broadcaster ceased transmission of the channel. 3. Reporting only covers channels that were broadcast for a full
calendar year. 4.
The channels nFilm HD, nFilm HD2 and Polsat HD
began transmission during the course of 2009. 5.
From 2009, the transmission of the following
channels was ceased: TVN Gra, TVN Lingua, TVN
Med., TVP Film, Trochę Młodsza Telewizja, OTV, Promocja TV. 6.
Under Polish law trailers for films and
television programmes are not considered programmes. If
broadcasters were able to regard these as European works, the proportion of
these works on certain channels would be somewhat higher.

Comunicação Social (ERC - Portuguese Regulatory Authority) (www.erc.pt) contains a section entitled “PORTAL
TV/ERC”. This section contains an IT application
through which the user can calculate percentages for Portuguese-language
programmes, European productions, and independent productions. All television operators have a login that they use to
publish, every three months, information on the total programming for each
channel, in accordance with the obligation laid down in Article 49 of the
Television Act (right to information). This information contains the titles of the programmes, their
duration, programme type, year and country of production (or co-production),
the name of the production company and the original language of each programme. The ERC confirms the information given for each channel,
uploaded in the portal by the operator, and checks that the results coincide
with total programming. In this way the results
will reflect reality as far as possible. Confirmation of the information When the ‘Portal TV/ERC’ was launched in 2008 the ERC
drew up a ‘classification manual’ in agreement with the television operators. The manual used the following as a starting point: ·
the Television Act; ·
the ‘TWF’ Directive; ·
the ‘Suggested new guidelines for monitoring
application of Articles 4 and 5 of the Television without frontiers Directive’; and ·
the ‘Impact Study of Measures (Community and
National) Concerning the Promotion of Distribution and Production of TV
Programmes Provided for Under Article 25(a) of the TV Without Frontiers
Directive Final Report’ of 24 May 2005. The ERC's monitoring also takes account of the ‘Study on
the application of measures concerning the promotion of the distribution and
production of European works in audiovisual media services (i.e. including
television programmes and non-linear services)’, Final Study Report, 28th May
2009. In 2012 the ERC will update the manual to take account of the amendments introduced by Law No 8/2011 of 11
April 2011, transposing the ‘Audiovisual Media Services’ Directive, and of the
‘Revised Guidelines for monitoring the
application of articles 16 and 17 of the audiovisual and media services (AVMS)
Directive’ (Doc. CC AVMSD (2011) 2). The ‘classification manual’ helps the operators to fill in the
programming chart which is used by the ERC to check that their obligations in
this area are being met. If any information on the country or year of production,
the identity of the production company or the original language, needs to be
confirmed, the ERC consults the ‘IMDb’ (www.imdb.com)
website. It also views some of the programmes in
question to confirm the information given to it. If any programmes give rise to
doubts, the ERC brings the matter to the attention of the operator. When the
rules are not followed, the operator is informed and requested to make
corrections. A) Reasons given by the Member State for failure to reach
proportions 1. Majority proportion of European works (Article 16): In 2009 two channels did not reach the minimum 50 %
transmission time for European works: SIC and SIC
Mulher. In 2010 four channels did not reach this minimum percentage: Canal Panda, Hollywood, SIC Mulher and SIC Radical. The SIC channel achieved a percentage of 48.6 % in 2009 and
therefore was very close to the minimum quota; in 2010
it slightly exceeded the 50 % minimum (50.4 %). SIC Mulher made positive progress in the period under consideration
(45.1 % in 2009 and 46.7 % in 2010); it is
thus well-placed to meet the obligations laid down in Article 16 of the
Directive in the next few years. The very low figures for Canal Panda and the Hollywood channel
(6.1 % and 3.1 % in 2010 respectively) could be linked to the fact
that they are channels that started broadcasting in November 2009, i.e. very
recently. The expectation is that they will
progressively increase the programming time for European works. In any case
both channels have a very small audience share (1.2 % and 1.1 %
respectively). It is expected that these channels (SIC Mulher, Canal Panda and
Hollywood) will progressively reach the 50 % threshold as stipulated at
the end of Article 16(1): ‘This proportion (…) should
be achieved progressively, on the basis of suitable criteria’. As regards SIC Radical, the fact that programming was 47.7 %
European in 2010 might have been partly due to the economy. It can be hoped that this channel will meet its Article 16
obligations in the coming years as it did, moreover, in 2009 when it achieved a
score of 51.5 %. 2. A minimum proportion of European works by independent producers
(Article 17) With the exception of Canal Panda and the Hollyood channel, all the
other channels meet the minimum percentage of 10 % as set out in Article
17 of the Directive and indeed significantly exceed it with scores that vary,
for the period under consideration, from 21.5 % in the case of SIC Mulher
(at the lower end) to 61.3 % in the case of SIC Internacional (at the
upper end). Both figures refer to 2010. As noted in relation to Article 16, the low figures for Canal Panda
and the Hollywood channel (0,9 % and 3,1% in 2010 respectively) could be
linked to the fact that they are channels that started broadcasting in November
2009, i.e. very recently. The expectation is that they
will progressively increase the programming time for independent production. Recent independent production (RW) RTP Memória – although this
channel broadcasts a high percentage of independent production (49.1 % in
2009 and 43.7 % in 2010), because of the specific nature of the channel it
did not meet the minimum percentage of recent works as set out in Article 17. As pointed out in earlier reports, RTP Memória is a public service
channel that essentially re-broadcasts from RTP's vast archive, covering five
decades of programming. Given its specific nature (i.e.
broadcasting based on RTP archives), this channel is therefore exempt from the
recommendations provided in Article 17 of the Directive, as regards recent
independent production. B) Measures taken by or envisaged by the Member State The Portuguese authorities are trying to raise awareness among
television operators regarding compliance with Articles 16 and 17, in the
belief that a pedagogical approach will be a better motivator and yield more
results than applying penalties, which should only be used as a last resort. When the ERC found that home cinema channels had results that were
very much below the provisions of the Directive, in June 2011 it adopted two
communications drawing the attention of two television operators, ZON CONTEÚDOS
and DREAMIA, to the requirement that they comply progressively with Articles 16
and 17. ZON CONTEÚDOS – Actividade de Televisão e Produção de Conteúdos, S.A The ERC found that the TC Cine, TV Cine 1, TV Cine 2 and TC Cine 3
home cinema channels[44]
have not met the provisions of Article 16 of the Directive, a situation made
worse by the fact that since 2008 there had been no progressive compliance in
the levels of European programming on these channels. Thus
on 1 June 2011 the ERC adopted communication 10/OUT-TV/2011 2011[45], which calls
on ZON Conteúdos to include in its scheduling for these channels 10 % more
European programming each year, starting in 2011, with the reference point the
highest percentage already reached by each of the channels in question. DREAMIA – Serviços de Televisão, S.A. The ERC found that the same situation applied to two other home
cinema channels, MOV and Hollywood[46],
not only as regards European programming but also independent productions. Thus on 1 June 2011 the ERC adopted communication 11/OUT-TV/2011[47], which calls
on the operator DREAMIA to include in its scheduling for these channels
10 % more European and independent productions each year, starting in
2011. C) Further comments No further comments.

34.6% || 50.9% || 56.5% || PART 2 – Comments Monitoring method The National
Audiovisual Council in Romania is responsible for monitoring the quotas and
requests every 6 months reports from broadcasters (reporting is a legal
requirement on the basis of Article 88 of the Regulatory Code of the Audiovisual Content (Decision no. 220 of 24 February 2011): "Broadcasters under
Romania’s jurisdiction shall forward half-yearly a report to the Council,
according to the model in annex 2, which is part of the present code". A) Reasons given by the Member State for failure to reach 1. Majority proportion of European works (Article 16): In the reference period from 01/01/2009 to 31/12/2010 all the
reported channels, with few exceptions, exceeded the majority proportion of
transmission time laid down in Article 16 of the Directive. For the channels where no quota is given (non communicated),
compliance with articles 16 and 17 is not possible, as these channels are
either too small or deal with very specific topics (for example religious TVs,
which show exclusively orthodox programmes). 2. A minimum proportion of European works by independent producers
(Article 17): With few exceptions, all channels have fulfilled the minimum
threshold of 10% of broadcasting time in promoting independent European works. B) Measures taken or envisaged by the Member State NAC encourages compliance with the quotas. In cases where there are
channels facing constraints for some to meet them, especially where they have a small audience share or lack the economic resources to
buy European (independent) works or they are special interest channels. Several channels did not submit their statistical data to the NAC.
Against these channels the Council will activate the necessary sanctioning
proceeding according to the Audiovisual Law. This penalty is basically a summons including the conditions and terms for abiding by the law in future. If the broadcaster does not abide
by the law within the terms and under the conditions established in the summons
or if he infringes again these provisions, a civil penalty from 5,000
Ron–100,000 Ron shall be applied. C) Further comments The Romanian media landscape comprises one public and private
broadcasters. According to the
Romanian Regulatory
Code of the Audiovisual Content (Decision no. 220
of 24 February 2011): “Art. 85 Broadcasters under Romanian jurisdiction are obliged to ensure,
for each television programme, compliance with the following requirements: a) to reserve for
European works, as defined in Art. 1^1 of the Audiovisual Law, minimum 50% of
the transmission time, except for the time allocated to news, sports events,
games, advertising, as well as teletext and teleshopping services. b) to reserve at least
10% of the transmission time or at least 10% of their budget allocatted to the
programmes for the European works created by independent producers, except for
the time allocated to news, sports events, games, advertising, as well as
teletext and teleshopping services. c) respect of the
programme structure, as approved by the Council. The following channels have their audiovisual licence withdrawn:
Oltenia TV, Euro Channel, Canal 1 (Senso), Goodlife Channel, Cosmos TV. As of May 2010, the company DTH Television Grup, that managed the
Boom channels (11 channels), has gone bankrupt. There is no statistical data
for 2009 available. The following channels have ceased to broadcast for various reasons:
Alpha TV Bucureşti, Alpha TV
Ploiesti, Party TV.

provide APEK and the Ministry of Culture reports with statistical data on
European audiovisual works until the end of February for the previous year.
APEK received the data until the end of February 2010 for the year 2009 and
until the end of February 2011 for the year 2010. Those data are filled and
attached in excel sheets Part Ia and Part Ib. Under the Article 109 of the Media Act APEK is obliged to carry out
a monitoring of the application of the provisions on audiovisual works. In 2010
and 2011 APEK started 9 procedures in all public service programmes, private
regional programmes with public obligations and in the programmes with the
biggest audience share, with the aim of checking their reported data on
audiovisual works. For that purpose APEK prepared excel sheets for the broadcasters,
where they had to enter the required data. APEK required data for the date of
broadcasting, time, duration, name of the program, information on production
(home, co-production, purchased), type of production (Slovenian, European,
other), name and address of the producer(s), type of production (in/dependent)
and year of the production (yes/no in the last 5 years) for each broadcasted
audiovisual work in broadcaster’s programme for the previous year. The required
data also included programme transmission time, the broadcaster’s total
transmission time, less the time reserved for news, sports events, games,
advertising, teletext services and teleshopping. After having received the required data APEK started to check the
data with AGB Nielsen database. AGB Nielsen database provided APEK with the
whole broadcasted material for the previous year. The analysis was conducted in
the way that data from the broadcasters excel sheets were compared with AGB
Nielsen’s data on the date of broadcasting, time, duration and the name of the
program. A problem appeared because only 7 programmes were included in AGB
Nielsen database at that time: SLO 1, SLO 2, SLO 3 (national public service
broadcasters programmes RTV Slovenija) and national commercial broadcasters POP
TV, KANAL A, TV3. Only these programmes were checked on the basis of AGB
Nielsen database, in other TV programmes APEK could only check whether the
proper program was included (up to the definitions of audiovisual works) and if
the provided data from the broadcasters were correctly calculated. For the reporting purpose APEK prepared 2 separated excel sheets,
one with basic statistical data out of the reports and a second one out of the
monitoring procedures. In year 2010 APEK could not finalise some of the monitoring
procedures on audiovisual works, as some broadcasters refused to provide APEK
with the required data. APEK wanted to check the data on audiovisual works from
reports (Article 91 of Mass Media Act) and requested the data on audiovisual
works from POP TV, KANAL A and TV PIKA, but they rejected APEK’s request
claiming that there is no legal basis for such a request. Since there was no
sanction for such a violation in the Mass Media Act, APEK could not impose any
measures. Namely, APEK could not examine the audiovisual quota without data on
producer’s name and address, origin of production of AV work and date of
creation of AV work. Those data could only be provided by the broadcaster. A similar situation happened in year 2011 when POP TV, KANAL A and
POP BRIO responded with the similar claim to APEK’s request on data. POP TV,
KANAL A and POP BRIO have the same owner. Major observations concerning broadcasting, reporting and monitoring - TV PIKA ceased operations on 31st of August 2010. - MTV ADRIA ceased operations under Slovenian licence on 5th
of May 2010 and moved to Serbia, APEK didn’t receive any report on audiovisual
works. A) Reasons given by the Member State for failure to reach 1. Majority proportion of European works (Article 16): Report for Year 2009 It was established by monitoring procedure that NET TV failed to
reach the proportion of European works. They substantiated their failure with
company’s economic problems. Report for Year 2010 It was established by monitoring procedure that VAŠ KANAL failed to
reach the proportion of European works. They substantiated their failure with
company’s economic problems. 2. A minimum proportion of European works by independent producers
(Article 17): No comments B) Measures taken or envisaged by the Member State Report for Year 2009 In the case of NET TV APEK has obtained an opinion from Ministry of
Culture that accepted the given reasons for failure. Report for Year 2010 In the case of VAŠ KANAL APEK has obtained an opinion from Ministry
of Culture that accepted the given reasons for failure. APEK carried out a monitoring procedure in TV3, it was found they
failed to reach the proportion of European works. APEK issued a written warning
for failure (15,29%). C) Further comments In the future APEK intends to monitor the quota on European
audiovisual works in a similar way as in the previous years. Since the Law on
Audiovisual Media Services, adopted on 17th of November 2011,
includes the provisions on sanctioning for non-cooperation of broadcasters, it
is expected that APEK will be more successful in monitoring.

fulfill the requirements of Arts. 16 and 17. This year, the Broadcasting Authority has made efforts to explain
what programs should be considered as European works and the difference between
“total works” and “qualified works”. In order to obtain correct figures, the
Authority has asked for the basic data. The calculations have in most cases
been made by the Authority. To ensure that all broadcasters report, there have
been frequent contacts and reminders. A) Reasons given by the Member State for failure to reach 1. Majority proportion of European works (Art. 16): The report shows that Swedish broadcasters generally fulfill the
requirement as regards European and independent works. The report also shows a
clear improvement as regards European works in relation to the figures in
previous reports. Some channels fail to meet the requirements. Most of them are below
the 0.3 percent audience share threshold. The Broadcasting Authority has been in contact with the broadcasters
regarding those channels which fail to meet the requirements. The broadcasters
have given the following explanations to the failure. C More Entertainment AB All of C More Entertainment AB:s channels have audience shares below
the 0.3 percent audience share threshold. Canal+ First – Audience share was 0.2 percent for both 2009 and
2010. Most of the content is produced in Hollywood. The amount of European
works continues to rise. Canal+ Hits – Audience share was 0.1 percent for both 2009 and 2010.
The channel is focused towards “blockbuster” with a clear overweight to
Hollywood-production. Canal+ Series (prev. Canal+ Comedy) – Audience share was 0.1 percent
for both 2009 and 2010. TV-series of premium-class is dominated by American
productions. More content from BBC is sent during 2011. Canal+ 69 – Audience share was 0.01 percent for 2009. The channel is
no longer operational. Canal+ Action – Audience share was 0.14 in 2009 and 0.15 in 2010.
Most of the content is produced in Hollywood. The amount of European works
continues to rise. Canal+ Drama – Audience share was 0.15 in 2009 and 0.16 in 2010.
Most of the content is produced in Hollywood. The amount of European works
continues to rise. Canal+ Film – Audience share was 0.15 percent for both 2009 and
2010. The amount of European works has fallen due to that contracts with
Spanish and French producers were not renewed. TV4 AB TV4 AB is always looking for marketable European titles. The
audience appreciates news, game shows and Swedish and European sports. Such
programs are not regarded as qualified works in this context. Nordic, German
and British content perform well. For TV4 AB it is of great interest to find
new and marketable material. The ambition is to reach the levels set out in the
AV-Directive. TV4 Film – Audience share was 0,9 in 2009 and 0,8 in 2010. The
channel is a profiled film channel. TV4 AB is working to raise the amount of
European works. TV4 AB has a new agreement with SF (Svensk Filmindustri) which
will ensure more Swedish works. TV4 Guld – Audience share was 0.4 percent for both 2009 and 2010.
The channel is profiled as a channel for tv-classics and the offerings follows
what the audience regards as classics. TV4 AB is working to raise the amount of
European works. It has a new agreement with Teaterförbundet (Swedish Union for
Theater, Artists and Media) which will ensure more Swedish works. TV4 Komedi –Audience share was 0.3 percent in 2009 and 0.2 percent
in 2010. TV4 AB is working to raise the amount of European works. Danish works
have proven to be successful. A new agreement with Teaterförbundet will ensure
more Swedish works. TV4 Science Fiction – Audience share was 0.1 in 2009 and 0.2 in
2010. The genre is to a large degree non-European, but TV4 AB is searching for
more European works. 7 – Audience share was 0.4 percent in 2009 and 0.37 percent in 2010.
TV4 AB is working to raise the amount of European works. The European works in
the channel consist to a large extent of British works. TV11 – Audience share was 0.6 percent in 2009 and 0.5 percent in
2010. The channel has been re-profiled during 2011. It will offer a higher
amount of European works henceforth. Nonstop Television AB Showtime – Audience share was 0.1 percent for both 2009 and 2010.
The channel is profiled towards action and science fiction. The output of such
productions in Europe is limited. Star! – Audience share was 0.1 percent for both 2009 and 2010. The
channel is profiled towards entertainment news. The programs consist of for
example interviews with pop stars and actors. Few such programs are produced in
Europe. TNT 7 – Audience share was 0.2 in 2009 and 0.1 in 2010. The channel
offers broad entertainment. Most programs are from English speaking countries,
but not all of them from the United States. 10 percent is Canadian, 10 percent
Australian and 10 percent British. Viasat Pay Channels Viasat Crime –Audience share was 0.3 percent in 2009 and 0.2 percent
in 2010. The channel is profiled towards action/criminal drama. Most programs
within this genre are produced in the United States. B) Measures taken or envisaged by the Member State Improved information and more frequent contacts with the
broadcasters may have contributed to the better result for 2009 and 2010. The
Swedish Broadcasting Authority will continue this work, for example by
overseeing the information on its webpage. The Authority will also keep in
touch with the broadcasters and remind them of the requirements on European and
independent works in the Directive and the reporting obligation. It will put
extra focus on and follow those broadcasters which are having problems to
fulfill the requirements. C) Further comments Utbildningsradion AB has an individual broadcasting license granted
by the government. It does not, however, have a channel of its own. Instead it
has a contract with Sveriges Television AB (SVT) which allows them to send
their programs in SVT’s channels SVT1, SVT2 and Kunskapskanalen. Utbildningsradion AB’s programs have been reported in a lump, with
their trademark “UR” listed as the channel’s name.

(Ofcom), is responsible for monitoring the quotas and requested annual returns
from broadcasters for 2009 and 2010. Broadcasters provided their returns using
an on-line reporting system and Ofcom collated the information in the format
required by the Commission. The following channels were new launches during the reference
period and were not broadcasting for a complete year: Ahlulbayt, AXN (Adria), AXN Spin (Central Europe), MGM HD Channel,

broadcasting programmes mostly from their stock: Hustler
TV UK, EWTN, NDTV 24x7. (e) Ceased broadcasting part way through the year: Mir Baltic, Discovery Factual, DMAX 2, Universal Channel
(Europe), Nicktoons (Eire), Tease Me TV 2, Quest, S4C bid-up.tv/Screen, Top Up
TV Anytime, Virgin 1, Travel Channel 2. (f) Other reasons: ANIMAX (Czech Republic), ANIMAX (Romania): In 2010, ANIMAX stopped being a core anime channel and
started to air different youth oriented programming as well, and it will keep
moving towards this direction, therefore the European programming hours are
expected to rise significantly. FILMBOX, Filmbox Extra (Hungary), Filmbox Extra 1, FILMBOX HD
(Hungary), FILMBOX PLUS: The program policy of these new channels will be being created on
upcoming years. They are aiming to take part in European Film Festivals and
negotiate new contracts with European distributors to buy European content. GMTV1 TLCS: The programme transmission hours are less than those in last year's
return because, after an ITV review of GMTV's output, it was agreed with Ofcom
that all weekday programming would be classed as news except for one hour of
current affairs each week. JimJam (Middle East), JimJam (Pan European), JimJam (Italian): Restructured business plans following dissolution of JV resulted in
need to quickly identify new sources of acquired programmes and therefore
limited resources to either commission or to buy more recent and thereby more
expensive programming to fulfil this quota. JimJam are endeavouring to identify
suitably qualifying programming but envisage clearing rights for pan territory
feeds will not be feasible for new titles. Kidsco (CEE), Kidsco (Western Europe): KidsCo broadcasts pan regional feed. There are more than 30
countries in this field that need to be cleared for licensing of content.
KidsCo does not insert programmes locally to cover programmes that are not
cleared for broadcast. KidsCo continues to negotiate with large international
distributors with substantial catalogues as well as small independent producers
in the search for content. KidsCo continues to attend events such as MIP TV,
MIP COM to meet distributors to license content. Living+2: The licence was originally for the channel "Trouble" which
had a number of imported shows. In April 2009 the channel was changed to a
slave channel "Living+2" and therefore the figures reflect the EU
content hours for Living. Loveworld TV: Loveworld's aim is to contact private individuals and businesses
within UK and Europe to advertise their programmes as well as get airtime on
the station. Nicktoons Replay: Nick Toons Replay is a partial time-shift of the Nick Toons channel.
Accordingly the EU hours are in line with that achieved by Nick Toons in 2010. TV3 Norway, TV3 Denmark, TV3 Sweden, 3+, Viasat 4, TV6: There is a limited demand for European programming in the territory.
The audience is more familiar with American programming, therefore there is
greater demand for this. A great amount of European programming does not
translate well in the language of the territory and is not well received by the
majority of the audience due to the language limitations. Viasat 3 (Hungary), Viasat 6: The harsh economic climate coupled with viewer demands in Hungary
has made investment in European programming financially burdensome and
impracticable. Wedding Tv, Wedding TV Asia: Wedding TV Limited produce all their premier content in house and no
longer acquire any programming. Wedding TV Asia started 2009 as Wedding TV +1
which was a time shifted channel in 2008, however became a channel in its own
right in 2009 with a rebranding in June 2009. 2. A minimum proportion of European works by independent producers
(Art. 17): (a) When the channel commenced broadcasting: Luxe TV. (b) Difficulty in finding cost competitive independent European
producers Discovery Travel & Living, Discovery Travel & Living Italy,
Discovery Home & Health, Discovery Knowledge, Discovery World (Europe),
Discovery Real Time, Discovery Real Time France, Discovery Turbo, Discovery
Science EU, MUTV, Disney Channel Middle East, Disney Cinemagic, Disney
Cinemagic (French), Disney Junior, Disney Junior (Poland), Disney Junior
(Scandinavia), Playhouse Disney Scandinavia, Disney XD Scandinavia, Playhouse
Disney, The Disney Channel Scandinavia, Toon Disney Scandinavia. (c) Subject matter of channel (e.g. all live broadcasts) Babeworld TV, The Other Side, Watchme TV, House of Fun, Elite
TV 2. B) Measures taken or envisaged by the Member State The UK encourages compliance with the quotas including through
monitoring. But there are constraints on the extent to which it is practicable
for particular channels to meet them, especially where ·
they have a very small audience share (in many
cases, less than 1%) and lack the economic resources to buy or commission
European (independent) programmes; ·
they are special interest channels; ·
they have just started up; ·
they are subsidiaries of companies based in
non-member countries, broadcasting programmes mostly from their own stock. C) Further comments Over this reference period, the number of UK-licensed channels which
are affected by the quotas has raised significantly, from 419 channels at the
end of 2008 to 523 channels in 2010. The proliferation and diversity of
channels in the UK has increased viewer choice and contributed to the
Directive’s overarching objective of increasing European competitiveness. [1] Covered channels: total number of channels
identified minus the number of non-operational channels and the number of
channels exempted from the reporting obligation (see paragraph 2.1.2.1.) and of
exempt channels (due to the nature of their programmes) or excluded channels
(due to legal exceptions). [2] In 2007, 1 590 channels were covered by Articles 4 and 5
(former Articles 16 and 17) and 1 679 in 2008. [3] Exemptions from the reporting obligation
were granted to very small channels in 11 Member States. [4] The text of the revised Guidelines is accessible via the following
link: http://ec.europa.eu/avpolicy/reg/tvwf/promotion/index_en.htm [5] The French Authorities expressed in writing their concerns
regarding the potential impact of the exemption of very small channels from the
reporting obligation and requested that a review clause be included in the
Revised Guidelines. [6] Conseil Supérieur de l'Audiovisuel (CSA) of
the French Community of Belgium. [7] The situation changed in July 2011. [8] 25 regional channels refused to submit their data to the competent
Ministry – See Greek comments in Section 3. [9] Three broadcasters refused to submit their data and could not be penalised
because the Mass Media Act in force during the reference period did not provide
for any sanction in such cases (see Slovenian comments in Section 3). The legal
situation has changed since the adoption of a new law in October 2011. [10] Regarding the distinction between regional
and local levels, see the 'Revised Guidelines for Monitoring the Application
of Articles 16 and 17 of the Audiovisual Media Services (AVMS) Directive' http://ec.europa.eu/avpolicy/reg/tvwf/promotion/index_en.htm [11] See in particular Recital 67 of the Directive [12] In the previous reference period nine Member States indicated that
they had taken active measures. [13] The compliance rate is
obtained by determining the number of channels achieving the required
proportions under Articles 16 and 17 and comparing these figures with the
number of channels covered by Articles 16 and 17 (Indicator 1). The channels
for which no data were communicated (NC) are considered non-compliant for the
purpose of this indicator - see Annex 1 – Performance indicators – Indicator 3 [14] See footnote 13 [15] See footnote 13 [16] See footnote 13 [17] See footnote 13 [18] See footnote 13 [19] See footnote 13 [20] See footnote 13 [21] See footnote 13 [22] See footnote 13 [23] See footnote 13 [24] See footnote 13 [25] Article 44 (3) of Decree nr 177/05 as amended by Decree nr. 44/10. [26] See footnote 13 [27] See footnote 13 [28] See footnote 13 [29] See footnote 13 [30] See footnote 13 [31] See footnote 13 [32] See footnote 13 [33] See footnote 13 [34] See footnote 13 [35] A Regulation adopted in 2004 by the Polish National Broadcasting
Council sets out a 45% proportion of European works for specialised channels. [36] See footnote 13 [37] See footnote 13 [38] See footnote 13 [39] See footnote 13 [40] See footnote 13 [41] See footnote 13 [42] See footnote 13 [43] See definition under Article 1 (n) of the
AVMS Directive [44] These channels as well as MOV and Hollywood have been exempted from
their reporting obligation and are therefore not included in the tables.

OF TELEVISION CHANNELS IN THE MEMBER STATES WHICH FAILED TO ACHIEVE THE
MAJORITY PROPORTION REQUIRED BY ARTICLE 17. 24 ANNEX 1: PERFORMANCE INDICATORS The
following indicators facilitate the evaluation of compliance with the
proportions referred to in Articles 16 and 17 of the Council Directive
2010/13/EU of 10 March 2010 on the coordination of certain provisions laid down
by law, regulation or administrative action in Member States concerning the provision
of audiovisual media services[1]
(‘Audiovisual Media Services’), (hereinafter referred to as ‘the Directive’). Indicators
2 – 5 are based on criteria set out in Articles 16 and 17. All performance
indicators allow compliance to be assessed at both Member State and Community
level. General
indicator Indicator
1: Number of channels covered by Articles 16 and 17. Indicator
1 was calculated for each Member State and for all Member States taken
together. These
figures were obtained by determining the total number of channels identified by
Member States less the number of non-operational channels (NO) and the number
of channels that were exempted from their reporting obligation due to their
very low audience share or exempted from the obligation to comply with Articles
16 and 17 due to the nature of their programmes (news, sports events, games,
advertising, teletext services or teleshopping) or excluded due to legal
exceptions: –
Article
18 of the Directive: television broadcasts that are intended for local audiences
and do not form part of a national network; –
Article
2(6) of the Directive: broadcasts intended exclusively for reception in third
countries and which are not received directly or indirectly by the public in
one or more Member States; –
Recital
72 of the Directive: channels broadcasting entirely in a language other than
those of the Member States should not be covered by the provisions of Articles
16 and 17. Channels
for which Member States did not communicate data for Articles 16 or 17 (NC)
were included. Indicators
concerning Article 16 (European works) Indicator
2: Average transmission time reserved for European works. Indicator
2 is presented as an average proportion for each individual channel, for each Member State and for all Member States taken together. It
is obtained by determining the average transmission time reserved for European
works as referred to in Article 16 (1)[2]
by each channel covered by Article 16 for which data were communicated
(‘reported channels’) and by comparing that figure with the total qualifying
transmission time. The
Member State averages are based on the average proportions of all channels
covered by Article 16 for which data were communicated (‘reported channels’) by
the Member State concerned. The
EU averages are based on the Member State averages. Indicator
3: Compliance rate of channels achieving or exceeding the majority
proportionof European works. Indicator
3 is presented for each Member State and for all Member States taken together.
It is obtained by determining the number of channels achieving the majority
proportion (more than 50%) under Article 16 and comparing that figure with the
number of channels covered by Article 16 (Indicator 1). The channels for which
no data were communicated (NC) are thus considered non-compliant for the
purpose of this indicator. The
EU averages are based on the Member State averages. Indicators
concerning Article 17 (European works made by independent producers)22 Indicator
4: Average transmission time, or alternatively, average proportion of
the programming budget allocated to European works by independent producers
(independent productions). Indicator
4 is presented as an average proportion for each individual channel, for each Member State and for all Member States taken together. It is obtained by determining the
average transmission time, or average programming budget, reserved for European
works by independent producers on each channel covered by Article 17 for which
data were communicated (‘reported channels’) and by comparing that figure with
the total qualifying transmission time. The
Member State averages are based on the average proportions of all channels
covered by Article 17 for which data were communicated (‘reported channels’) by
the Member State concerned. The
EU averages are based on the Member State averages. Indicator
5: Compliance rate of channels in achieving the minimum proportion of
independent productions. Indicator
5 is presented for each Member State and for all Member States taken together.
It is obtained by determining the number of channels achieving the minimum
proportion of at least 10% under Article 17 and comparing that figure with the
number of channels covered by Article 17 (Indicator 1). The channels for which
no data were communicated (NC) are thus considered non-compliant for the
purpose of this indicator. The
EU averages are based on the Member State averages. Indicator
6: average transmission time allocated to recent European works by
independent producers (recent works). Indicator
6 is presented as an average proportion for each individual channel, for each Member State and for all Member States taken together. It is obtained by determining the
average transmission time reserved for recent European works by independent
producers on each channel covered by Article 17 for which data were
communicated (‘reported channels’) and by comparing that figure with the
transmission time reserved for all independent productions. The
Member State averages are based on the average proportions of all channels
covered by Article 17 and for which data were communicated (‘reported
channels’) by the Member State concerned. The
EU averages are based on the Member State averages. In
order to better evaluate actual developments in the broadcasting of recent
works, the EU average figures for recent works were also compared with total
qualifying transmission time. ANNEX 2: CHARTS AND TABLES ON THE
