Det undrer os derfor ikke, at betænkningen på nogle punkter ikke er fri for en tendens til at se statens monopol, kontrol og informationsbehandling som værende af det onde, og til at overse andre former for monopol, kontrol og informationsbehandling, som bliver skabt med den økonomiske liberalisering; den skaber i sig selv en koncentration og centralisering af rigdom, og falder samtidig for fristelsen til at
In an atmosphere in which neo- and ultra-liberal ideas, theories and practices hold sway, in which deregulation is the be-all and end-all, the study of media concentration and the defence of pluralism are not only difficult, but require courage.
En sådan privatisering kan snarere bidrage til at stille mere og mere magtfulde midler til rådighed for økonomiske grupper; derved bliver informationen rent kommer ciel, uden at vort informationsbehov bliver stimuleret. ret.
What we need to do, however, is not to tinker with hundreds of details, to introduce more speech and so on, but to work out some principles which fulfil the important task of meeting the rights of responsible citizens.
Hvis de forskellige parlamenter ikke i den forbin delse siger rene ord for pengene, der sætter en stopper for disse ulige muligheder, vil fjernsynsseerne i stigende grad gribe til selvhjælp og, ved at blokere modtagelsen af udsendelser fra offentlig retlige selskaber, finde grund til at nægte at betale licens. Det kan vi godt forstå.
It is not surprising, therefore, that in some respects, the report was unable to avoid a tendency to see the monopolization, control and manipulation of information by the State as the greatest evil, and to underestimate the forms of monopolization, control and manipulation of information that derive from economic liberalization itself— the very economic liberalization which leads to the concentration and centralization of wealth, and which gives rise to the temptation to exploit the media and place them at the service of certain economic interests.
Imidlertid tragter vi ikke efter, at der mingeleres ved hundredevis af detaljer, ved indførelsen af taler og lignende, men at der opstilles principper, der tilgodeser den myndige borgers velerhvervede rettigheder.
Rather, privatization can lead to increasingly powerful resources being placed at the service of certain economic groups, turning information into a commodity, and in no way fulfilling the need of the individual to inform himself.
Dette Råd skulle have følgende ansvar og kompetence: undersøge mediesektoren, garantere total gennemsigtighed ved firmafusioner, forelægge rapporter og udtalelser for Kom missionen — og hvorfor ikke for Parlamentet? — samt foreslå foranstaltninger til en spredning.
So while wishing to guard against the dangers inherent in setting up institutions, we stress the need to create a European Media Council with the following powers and responsibilities: firstly, monitoring the media landscape; secondly, ensuring complete transparency in the links between undertakings; thirdly, submitting reports and opinions to the Commission and — why not? — to Parliament; and fourthly, bringing forward proposals on possible anti-concentration measures.
Elliott (S). — (EN) Hr. formand, jeg vil stærkt støtte denne betænkning, som jeg synes er et fortræffeligt dokument, der er meget stærkt tiltrængt.
I particularly want to refer to Paragraph 22 which relates to the essential need for effective freedom of information for all those involved in the media.
Jeg håber meget, at det vil blive vedtaget, som det står, og ikke udvandet ved nogle af de ændringsforslag, der er blevet stillet, og som ville afsvække dets virkning.
We have a big problem with this in Britain because Britain is one of those countries that is traditionally obsessed with secrecy. And although some efforts have been made recently to open things up a little bit, we have a very long way to go.
Selvfølgelig går jeg ind for, at politikernes indflydelse i netop de offentligretlige medier skal trænges stærkt tilbage.
I am naturally in favour of drastically curbing the influence of politicians in the public media.
Men det drejer sig ikke alene om at beskytte journalisterne for politikerne, men også at beskytte politikerne for en journalistik, der har ført til, at man i en række lande i dag taler om telekrati, som er en trussel for demokratiet.
However, the point is not just to protect the journalists from politicians, but also to protect the politicians from a type of journal ism which has now led in some countries to talk of a kind of media rule which represents a threat to democracy.
Medierne bestemmer i vid udstrækning dagens politiske begivenheder.
The media largely determine the political agenda.
Arbejdet i parlamenterne styres i mindre grad af saglige reportager og grundige analyser, men snarere af en stakåndet og overfladisk aktionisme, som ikke sjældent degraderer politikerne til marionetter.
Parliamentary work is guided less by objective reports and careful analysis than by a shallow, superficial wish for action which often reduces politicians to the level of puppets.
Hvad kan man gøre ved det?
What can we do to combat this?
Jeg vil i særdeleshed henvise til punkt 22, der drejer sig om det helt afgørende behov for virkelig informationsfrihed for alle, der arbejder inden for medierne.
OOSTLANDER (PPE). — (NL) Mr President, I should like to congratulate the rapporteurs, Mr Fayot and Mr Schinzel, on the results they are presenting to the House today.
Vi har store problemer med dette i Stor britannien, for Storbritannien er et af de lande, der traditionelt er helt besat af hemmelighedsfuldhed.
I think this is an important report, in particular because it focuses on the special cultural significance of the media and the press.
Der må sættes en stopper for de tiltagende koncentrationer inden for den skrevne presse.
We must put a stop to the increasing concentration of the press.
Forbryderen Maxwells skæbne bør være et advarselssignal, men Berlusconi'erne, Hersant'erne og, hvad magnaterne ellers hedder, bliver stadig mere bevidste om deres magt.
The fate of the criminal Maxwell ought to be a warning, but the Berlusconis, Hersants and all the other tycoons are becoming more and more power-conscious.
De er tilmed særdeles dygtige.
They are also extremely clever.
De holder i deres presseimperier — så at sige som alibi for fri meningsdannelse — tilmed aviser, som i enkelt spørgsmål giver udtryk for en opfattelse, der divergerer stærkt fra den generelle linje, men som i principspørgsmål atter er i takt med denne.
Almost as an alibi for diversity of opinion, they keep newspapers in their press empires which voice an opinion on points of detail that is very different from the general tone, but which immediately fall back into line on questions of principle.
Læseren bliver vildledt af sådanne hesteprangerkneb.
The reader is misled by horse-trading of this kind.
Inden for de offentligretlige radio- og fjernsynsselskaber må man sørge for at vende det skæbne
I also think it is important to note that democracy is well served when economic factors do
Vi i Storbritannien har naturligvis lidt
Because the stations in question — at least in my own country — have fees collected by the state, there is less scope for private stations which can only finance themselves through advertising.
Grund (NI). — (DE) — Hr. formand, mine damer og herrer, situationen inden for den skrevne presse, radio og fjernsyn er spejlbillede på samfundets til stand.
SCHWARTZENBERG (S). — (FR) Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, the media are one of the four powers of our democratic society, and perhaps the one that has the most influence.
Jo større uoverensstemmelse der er mellem den offentlige og den offentliggjorte mening, desto mere restriktivt griber politiske og økonomiske magtkoncentrationer ind i pressefrihedens demokratiske strukturer.
How can we ensure that the media are able to operate freely and, at the same time, ensure that they do not abuse that freedom?
Oostlander (PPE). — (NL) Hr. formand, jeg vil gerne ønske ordførerne, hr. Fayot og hr. Schinzel, hjerteligt tillykke med det resultat, de i dag fremlægger for plenarforsamlingen.
I am also very pleased to see that several references are made in the report to the need for self-regulation in the field of professional ethics. Matters such as double checks on information, keeping to the truth and the right of reply should also be covered by such ethics.
Jeg synes, det er en vigtig betænkning, blandt andet fordi alle er opmærksomme på pressens og mediernes egen kul turelle betydning.
In practice, a reasonable code of professional ethics has been established in various countries through self-regulation.
Kollegerne Fayot og Schinzel har i deres betænkning med rette henvist til de risici, den økonomiske koncentration bevirker for den demokratiske frie meningsdannelse.
Firstly, journalists must be protected: equality of access to all sources of information — national, Community and international; protection of professional secrecy and the confidentiality of all their sources ofinformation; promotion of the profession; freedom of movement; the introduction of a European press card.
Statslige subventioner for at forhindre avisdød har samtidig bevirket, at visse politiske tendenser meningsstyrende modtager støtte, mens andre systematisk afgrænses og ties ihjel.
Pluralism in the media must be promoted, and the concentration of the media in a few hands must be prevented.
Hr. Fayot og hr. Schinzel appellerer i punkt 8 i deres beslutningsforslag til, at journalister overholder et minimum af etiske regler.
One way in which this has been expressed is through media concentrations, where by editorial freedom has not been sufficiently recognized.
Det er meget prisværdigt, men lader sig slet ikke gennemføre, så længe journalister for enhver pris må hige efter sensationer, hvorved de kan komme til at såre et offers privat sfære.
In particular, it has also sometimes been expressed through the way in which these facets of life have been treated as if they were governed by or dependent on economic factors.
Derfor må retten til berigtigelse i punkt 25 absolut skærpes.
I am glad that a halt has been called to such practices here.
Ofte må ofret af påståede afsløringer og beskyldninger først føre dyre processer for efter flere måneder at afbøde det ødelagte rygte.
The greater the disparity between public and published opinion, the more restrictively concentrations of political and economic power are intervening in the democratic structures of press freedom.
Indtil Maastricht vil man kunne sige, at det i Europa stadig er sådan, at foreninger, sammenslutninger og foretagender, som er aktive inden for det område, egentlig kun kan betragtes på lige fod med en isenkramforretning eller en hvilken som helst anden virksomhed.
As regards the printed media, which are suffering from falling advertising revenue, advertising must be regulated by limiting the number of centres buying advertising space, which call the shots in the press and in television.
Jeg synes, det er meget væsentligt, at ordførerne stærkt har understreget, også i deres stillingtagen til det ikke-kommercielle og det ægte kulturelle og demokratiske aspekt ved pressen, at det her drejer sig om mere.
Respect for the market economy and financial success, two pillars of contemporary society, must stop short of allowing the exploitation of the means of expression by certain members of society.
Det økonomiske har i Det Europæiske Fællesskab fremkaldt en fremmedgørelse af borgerne i forhold til det, vi arbejder med, for borgerne handler ikke blot som markedsaktører, men også som personer, der beskæftiger sig med information og kultur.
Freedom of thought can only exist if information is freely available and diverse, and if everyone has access to that information. tion.
Endelig vil jeg gerne henvise til, at lovgiveren må sætte de offentligretlige audiovisuelle medier i stand til at opretholde et omfattende informationsudbud over for mediemagnater, der opkøber visse program mer.
Mr Fayot and Mr Schinzel have quite rightly referred in their report to the dangers which economic concentration involves for democratic diversity of opinion.
Inden for radio og fjernsyn må der trækkes en klar skillelinje mellem på den ene side informations-, kultur- og underholdningsprogrammer og på den anden side reklame.
The dependence of the press on potential advertisers as guarantors of the economic existence of newspapers has led to a situation in which journalists can be blackmailed or otherwise are afraid of losing their jobs.
Den utrolige påtrængenhed fra de som oftest infantile reklamers side, der rammer seeren eller lytteren uforberedt, kan sidestilles med åndelig tvang.
State subsidies to prevent newspapers from going to the wall have also had the effect of promoting certain political tendencies in such a way as to shape public opinion, while others are systematically excluded and ignored.
Jeg hilser det også hjerteligt velkommen, at der i betænkningen et par gange henvises til den nødvendige selvregulering inden for den faglige etiks område.
RAWLINGS (PPE). — I welcome the arrival of this long-awaited report by Mr Fayot and Mr Schinzel on such an important subject.
I praksis er der i en række lande også kommet en behørig faglig etik i stand.
The written press, on the whole, comes under the national domain.
Når der i betænkningen tales om at lægge bestemt vægt på det, vil man for eksempel ikke finde det sjovt fra sensationspressens side, men vi synes heller ikke, sensationspressen er sjov, og jeg tror heller ikke, at sensationspressen er til fordel for borgerne, men at den faglige etik også på et bestemt tidspunkt må få en vis inflydelse der.
It is primarily aimed at a national audience, as are, in their own way, local and regional newspapers, and therefore should come under national and not European Community legislation. Audiovisual media, however, are increasingly beamed across borders by cable and satellite and, therefore, in this context, guidance can be an issue for the European Community.
Schwartzenberg (S). — (FR) Hr. formand, kære kolleger, medierne er en af vort demokratiske samfunds fire magter, måske den væsentligste på grund af deres indflydelse.
In paragraph 8 of their motion for a resolution, Mr Fayot and Mr Schinzel call for a minimum standard of professional ethics on the part of journalists.
Hvordan kan man på én gang tillade dem at udøve frihed og hindre dem i at misbruge den?
It is therefore absolutely essential to strengthen.the right of reply referred to in paragraph 25.
Jeg er altså meget glad for det, der antages her.
Another central point in this debate is the need to maintain a free market.
Endelig befries denne del af kulturen for de økonomiske kræfters frie spil, for det var det, der truede.
It is right to encourage small and mediumsized firms, as point 14 indicates; but not to the extent of calling on Member States.
Det ytrede sig blandt andet i mediekoncentration, hvorved en fri redaktions rettigheder ikke erkendes tilstrækkeligt.
In Britain we have very good advertising and press laws as well as the Mergers and Monopolies Commission, well able to deal with the media.
Det ytrede sig af og til især også i en behandling af den slags aspekter af virkeligheden, som om det drejede sig om kolonier eller afledninger af det økonomiske.
Finally, I should like to point out that the legislators must enable public audiovisual media to maintain a comprehensive supply of information, as opposed to media multinationals which buy up certain programmes.
Jeg er glad for, at der på den måde er trukket en slutstreg under det.
In radio and television, there must be a clear distinction
Men pressen og alle andre medier har samtidig et ansvar for at respektere individets ret til privatliv og til ikke at få sin menneskelige værdighed krænket.
Do media concentrations always have only negative effects on such rights?
Som en modvægt til disse absolut nødvendige friheder må journalisterne selv fastlægge klare bestemmelser om deres moralske forpligtelse.
However, the press and, in fact, all the media have at the same time a responsibility to respect the individual's right to some privacy and to respect their human dignity.
Endelig vil jeg gerne opfordre Sir Leon Brittan, der så udmærket har kæmpet for lige vilkår inden for konkurrencepolitikken, til at se nøje på ejerforholdene inden for medierne i øjeblikket.
Finally, I call on Commissioner Brittan, who has done so well fighting for a level playing field in competition policy, to look in detail at the current media ownership pattern.
Kostopoulos (NI). — (GR) Hr. formand, under de nuværende forhold med en voldsom international udvikling inden for økonomien og de konsekvenser, dette medfører for mennesket, er den fri meningstilkendegivelse og fri information ikke alene rettigheder, men en grundlæggende bestanddel i et demokratisk samfund.
KOSTOPOULOS (NI). — (GR) Mr President, the com bination of explosive development of the international economy and the effects it has on man in the world today is such that freedom of expression and information are not only a right, but also one of the most basic elements in a democratic society.
Samtidig er det ikke tilfældigt, at partier, myndigheder og interessegrupper ofte indtager en negativ holdning til journalister på grund af deres upåvirkelige ytringsfrihed.
Furthermore, it is not by chance that groups, associations and organizations have adopted a negative and guarded stance towards journalists in res pect of their freedom to express their opinion without external influence.
Indordning under markedsøkonomien og respekt for økonomisk succes, som er to af grundpillerne i det moderne samfund, må aldrig nogensinde føre til, at nogen mobiliserer udtryksmulighederne. Og heller ikke til koncentration af den skrevne presse og de audiovisuelle medier.
It is called upon to submit a considerable number — indeed a host — of legislative proposals in the media sector.
Demokrati bygger på alles adgang til information.
Do the various national media structures allow for European harmonization through, for example, an anti-concentration directive?
Der eksisterer kun tankefrihed, hvis information er uafhængig og mangfoldig, og hvis alle har adgang til alle informationsmidler.
As far as I am concerned, it is rather up to the Member States to intervene in this field, should the regulations which already exist in all these countries not provide an adequate basis for ensuring diversity of opinion.
Det største problem er derfor først og fremmest at beskytte de overvejende privatejede mediers journalistiske frihed inden for rammerne af en pluralisme. lisme.
The problem we face at the outset, in the light of all this, is therefore how to protect the freedom of the press whilst maintaining pluralism and, above all, taking account of the ownership of the mass media.
Efter min opfattelse er pluralismen hovedhjørnestenen i mediernes frihed og står i modsætning til en monopolistisk, koncentreret, ejerstyret karakter af såvel det trykte som det elektroniske ord.
In my opinion, Mr President, pluralism is the cornerstone of the freedom of the media and is diametrically opposed to monopolization and concentration through the ownership of sources of written and broadcast information.
Den skrevne presse falder stort set under det nationale område.
A Euro pean Media Council simply means unnecessary central bureaucracy.
Den er hovedsagelig rettet mod et nationalt publikum, hvilket de lokale og regionale aviser på hver deres måde også er, og derfor bør de falde ind under den nationale lovgivning og ikke Fællesskabets.
At the summit meeting in Lisbon, it was agreed that we should seek to win back our citizens' confidence in Europe by clarifying the principle of subsidiarity which is laid down in the Treaty of Maastricht. tricht.
Men de audiovisuelle medier sendes i stigende grad ud over grænserne gennem kabel eller via satellit, og derfor kan det i denne forbindelse være aktuelt, at Fællesskabet giver vejledning.
Consequently, we must oppose the amalgamations currently taking place in the information sector, which are not subject to scrutiny, as they effectively lead to world wide domination of the media, like CNN, and distort our democratic system.
Det er derfor absolut nødvendigt at indføre konkrete regler, som harmoniserer lovgivningen på nationalt og europæisk plan, så man styrker mangfoldigheden og pluralismen inden for oplysning og information. Disse regler bør gå i følgende retninger: For det første decentralisering og så vidt muligt udbredelsen af flere virksomheder, hvis virke skal være præget af gennemsigtighed.
It is therefore right to enact specific rules to harmonize legislation at national and European level, in order to safeguard diversity of opinion and pluralism of the media and information.
For det andet, vedtagelsen af en kodeks for journalistisk etik, som befæster den faglige frihed og uafhængighed fra arbejdsgivers side, samtidig med at den sikrer, at disse ting fungerer på et objektivt grundlag.
BRITTAN, Sir Leon, Vice-President of the Commission. — I think the Commission has shown, particularly in the framework of its audiovisual policy and through the dialogue it has had and is having with the press, the importance it attaches to the whole question of freedom of expression and pluralism in the media.
Det er rigtigt at opmuntre små og mellemstore virksomheder, som det er angivet i punkt 14; men ikke så stærkt, at man skal rette opfordringer til medlems staterne.
I would emphasize very much the fact that we can and should only act within the limits of Community competence and with due respect for the subsidiarity principle.
Jeg citerer fra punkt 12: 'offentlig støtte til truede aviser, der bidrager med en væsentlig andel til den kulturelle pluralisme.' De fleste lande har deres egne instrumenter til at tage sig af monopoler.
I found myself very much in agreement with a great deal of what Miss Rawlings and Mrs Lulling have said in that respect.
I Storbritannien har vi udmærkede annoncerings- og presselove såvel som The Mergers and Monopolies Commission, der udmærket kan tage sig af medierne. Derfor støtter jeg punkt 6 om at tilskynde de medlemsstater, der ikke i øjeblikket regulerer deres medier, til at gøre dette.
Secondly, to adopt a code of ethics for journalists, to safeguard the freedom and independence of this profession from the influence of employers and to ensure that they can carry out their role objectively.
For det tredje en tilfredsstillelse af den trykte presses legitime økonomiske krav, blandt andet med hensyn til moms, for at sikre dens økonomiske selvstændig hed, så der udgives flere dagblade, især i provinsen. Jeg tror, at vi bør passe godt på provinsbladene.
Thirdly, to ensure a settlement of justified economic demands on the printed media, such as the question of VAT, in order to ensure their economic autonomy and, above all, the publication of more newspapers in the provinces.
Men det er vigtigt at sikre bevægelsesfrihed for journalisterne såvel som deres ret til at få informa tioner, og derfor støtter jeg de punkter i dette forslag, der fremhæver dette.
Quite a few of the things that are requested by Parliament are not within the Community competence whereas others raise questions about the need for Communitywide initiatives.
Men der er en vanskelig balance, der skal holdes, mellem pressens trykkefrihed og frihed til at tjene penge, over for dens
We have to distinguish between opinions that we may hold but which should, if they require govern mental intervention, be acted on at national level and those very limited areas where the Community has and should have powers.
Som konklusion kan jeg sige, at jeg tror, tankegangen bag hr. Fayots og hr. Schinzels betænkning går i denne retning, og at den derfor er værd at stemme for.
In conclusion, Mr President, let me say that I believe the general thinking behind the Fayot and Schinzel report tends in this direction, and for that reason it deserves our support.
Har koncentration inden for medierne principielt og ude lukkende negativ indvirkning på disse rettigheder?
BRITTAN, Sir Leon extremely balanced and should be almost always at national and not at Community level.
