The EESC welcomes the annual monitoring provided for in Article 25, and calls for the consultation of relevant stakeholders and civil society during the monitoring exercise.
Limiting the subject of the monitoring exercise to the functioning of the internal market for media services is, however, insufficient.
Therefore, the EESC proposes widening the scope of the monitoring exercise to also cover any other aspect relevant to the protection of media freedom and plurality.
The EESC recommends assigning the European Board for Media Services the task to develop a set of indicators for the monitoring exercise.
