When
2017
Who
Eu institutions and member states.

Description of the policy/measure

Proposal by the commission for a eu directive amending 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 (audiovisual media services directive) in view of changing market realities (proposal presented on 25 may 2016).

Results achieved

More shared rules at eu level to provide clarity and legal certainty to consumers and businesses across borders. this includes strengthening the promotion of european works for on-demand services with an expected broader and more diverse offer for europeans and as a result a positive impact on cultural diversity and more opportunities for european creators.

Evaluation of the policy/measure

The measure is not yet in force, since it is draft legislation, but as with all eu legislative proposals an impact assessment took place which evaluates its likely impact.  details are available here:https://ec.europa.eu/digital-single-market/en/news/avmsd-inception-impact-assessment
