Report from the Commission to the European Parliament, the Council, the European Economic and Social Committee and the Committee of the Regions – First report on the application of Articles 13, 16 and 17 of Directive 2010/13/EU for the period 2009-2010 – Promotion of European works in EU scheduled and on-demand audiovisual media services

This report, composed of two parts, is drawn up pursuant to Article 13(3) and Article 16(3) of Directive 2010/13/EU (AVMS Directive).

This is the Commission’s first report on the application of Article 13, concerning the promotion of European works in EU on-demand services, since the adoption of the AVMS Directive, and it covers the period 2009-2010. Pursuant to Article 13 the report is based both on the data which had to be provided by the Member States by December 2011 and on an independent study which was conducted in 2011. The next report on the application of Article 13 is due within four years.

This document also contains a report on the application of Articles 16 and 17 of the AVMS Directive on the promotion of European works and independent productions in EU television services for the period 2009-2010. This report is biennial.

Unlike previous reports on the former Articles 4 and 5 of Directive 89/552/EC ("Television without Frontiers" Directive), this report does not cover the EEA countries because of the delay in transposing the AVMS Directive into the EEA ‘acquis’. Therefore these countries were not invited to submit their data for this report.
