Det er en helt usædvanlig usund koncentration af ejerskabet inden for medieverdenen i Det Forenede Kongerige.
From this point of view, the completion of the internal market in communications could be a worthwhile opportunity, in the light of the development prospects for companies in the sector.
Ikke overraskende går B-Sky-B i sin indstilling til Kommissionen imod et direktiv på dette felt.
This, it seems to me, is one of the essential aspects of the resolution.
I dag er den fjerde magt, information, i visse tilfælde blevet meget mere betydningsfuld end de tre andre.
The points about Cypms were well aired yesterday -there is no point in going through them again.
Derfor tror jeg, at magtdelingen er et spørgsmål om demokratiets kvalitet og endog overlevelse, også i forbin delse med den fjerde magt og inden for sidstnævnte.
In Malta there are, of course, a number of problems that we have to resolve; there are the problems the Commission has set out, in particular the difficult economic situation in Malta and its need to reform its economy and fulfil the require ments of the customs union, which it has failed to do up to now.
Der er forskning, som har påvist, hvordan en sådan koncentration kan føre til misbrug.
However, I am greatly heartened by the statements from the Maltese Government which says it is determined to resolve these problems within the next few months.
Rupert Murdochs News International bruger selskabets aviser til at fremme dets satellit-TV-kanaler og til angreb på andre TV-kanaler som for eksempel BBC.
Provided it does address the questions raised by the Commission, I see no reason why we cannot push ahead with considering its application.
Vi må betragte dette som uacceptabelt, og det viser, at vi har brug for regler på europæisk plan.
I am particularly delighted that the Commission, instead of taking a passive role, has actually advocated setting up a task force to assist Malta in this process.
Hvis den fjerde magt er koncentreret helt eller i stort omfang i de samme hænder, eller hvis den fjerde magt ligefrem blander sig med den politiske, udøvende, lovgivende magt, tror jeg, at man mister en meget vigtig garanti for kontrol, uafhængighed, endog demokratisk vitalitet.
There is, of course, the question of the opposition of the Maltese Labour Party to accession and we therefore need to proceed with some caution and not seem to be interfering in the internal affairs of a country.
Endelig mener jeg, at Kommissionen bør bakke op omkring Europa-Parlamentets Ungdomsudvalg og lige ledes om henstillingen fra Den Internationale Journalist sammenslutning, når disse opfordrer til, at der udarbejdes et ordentligt handlingsprogram på mediefronten - ikke blot et direktiv om koncentration inden for medierne, men en europæisk Lov om frihed til nyhedsformidling og et instrument, som kan sikre den redaktionelle uafhængighed, et instrument, som kan sikre åbenhed og gennem skuelighed samt foranstaltninger til fremme af reel diversitet inden for vore medier.
Given the complexity of the issues and the scale of the consultation process which has been under way for over a year now, the Commission prefers - this is something you know and have built into your resolution - to analyse in full the contributions submitted during the consultations, as many of you have requested, before expressing its view as to the need for action and suggesting what form that action might take. Your opinion, Parliament's opinion, will be crucial in this regard, as will that of operators active in the field, who are following the current debate with attention and, in some cases, concern, as emerges from an appeal lodged only today.
Dette vil sige, at »zaren af den fjerde magt« beslutter sig til også at annektere den lovgivende magt og måske i morgen den udøvende magt.
It is no good waiting until 1996 - the intergovernmental conferences -they do not deserve to wait that long; we ought to be addressing the issue now and addressing it in relation to the current as well as any future enlargement.
Cassidy (PPE). - (EN) Hr. formand, det første, jeg skal gøre, er at erklære, at jeg har en personlig interesse på dette felt, skønt jeg godt kan forstå, hvorfor folk fra andre lande er ret utilbøjelige til at gøre dette, for det sluger jo en del af ens taletid.
So, by next spring, when it has finished evaluating the consultation process, the Commission will summarize its conclusions in a communication to Parliament and the Council and will say whether it considers Communitywide action to be necessary and, if so, what would be its form and content: a directive, an atypical directive or some other instrument.
Jeg har allerede brugt ¡5 sekunder af min tid til at erklære, at jeg har tilbragt en god del af mit arbejdsliv i medieverdenen og stadig har interesser der.
I therefore believe that in its proposals, the Commission will have to keep both to what falls under Community competence and to the principle of subsidiarity, for which there really is great scope in this area.
Jeg tror, at det virkelig - som jeg allerede har sagt - er et spørgsmål om politikkens overlevelse, og lad mig tilføje endog den gode smags overlevelse, for hvis politik skabes med de rene og enkle kriterier fra TV-reklamerne eller medierne, med den skrigende simplificering, som er typiske for disse sektorer, så tror jeg, at vi kan sige farvel til en civiliseret politik inspireret af etiske værdier.
Pesmazoglou (PPE). - (GR) Mr President, the 1972 agreement for the association of Cyprus with the European Community has implied since that time the prospect of its full membership of the Community, today's European Union.
Når politikere taler om pressefriheden, så mener de nøjagtig det modsatte.
I think these steps can be taken rapidly, and should be the best way to achieve our common objective.
I præambel D taler man om foranstaltninger på fælles skabsplan, som skal begrænse mediekoncentrationen.
In July 1990 Cyprus applied for full accession to the European Community. In its resolutions the European
Hr. formand, kære kolleger, efter kampen for et frit marked bliver mulighederne for et virkeligt frit marked kynisk nok ødelagt.
President. - The debate is closed. The vote will be taken this evening at 6.30 p.m.
Hvad angår dens indhold, skal vi erklære vores enighed med ordførerne i, at der er behov for at fastsætte nogle spilleregler og samtidig garantere, at ejerforholdene i denne vigtige sektor er gennemsigtige.
The European People's Party, in its official manifestos, commits itself to active support for the accession of those two island-states, for reasons of both principle and geopolitical appropriateness.
Derfor skal vi opfordre Kommissionen til maksimalt at anvende de juridiske instrumenter, der kan modvirke konkurrence forvridning, ligesom Kommissionen opfordres til at udarbejde et harmoniseringsdirektiv, der skal sikre, at de statslige foranstaltninger i denne sammenhæng modvirker den monopolistiske koncentration af medierne.
These views harmonize with the proposal by the Greek Presidency, as presented yesterday by the relevant Greek Minister and by the Commissioner responsible for Inter national Relations, Mr Van Den Broek.
Den viste os de genvordigheder, troldmandens lærling og maskinopfinderen kom ud for.
Our orientation and aspirations in that context are reinforced by three brief but basic comments:
Når jeg bliver stillet over for dette valg, er den eneste mulige reaktion for mig at slukke for dem alle sammen og tage en rask spadseretur.
Indeed, how can we refuse membership to countries which fulfil the requirements?
Det er jo klart, at denne opfattelse ikke deles af de mange mennesker, der er glade for at have disse valgmuligheder.
How can we refuse to enlarge towards the South when we have already embarked upon enlargement towards the North and the East?
I dag, tres år efter Chaplins moderne tider - der allerede synes gamle - ville det være på sin plads at lave en ny film om samme emne. Manden, der opfinder fjernsynet og er offer for fjernsynet, der fylder hans hjem, og æder al hans fritid: først i sort/hvid, så i farver, så med to kanaler, tre, tredive, kabel-tv, satellit-tv, cinemascope, højopløs-nings-tv.
The problem is a critical one, but it can and must be dealt with responsibly and appropriately for 'enlargement', with participation both by the four candidate countries of the Single European Area and by the two Mediterranean island-states.
Det er Kommissionens opgave at overvåge konkurrencen i mediemes og de tilknyttede sektorers verden og derfor at imødegå monopoler og sammenkædning af interesser.
And it would frankly be absurd to think that Malta and Cypms could integrate into a European Union whose institutional stmcture remained unchanged.
Familierne taler ikke længere sammen, de ser tv; tosomheden er kedelig, tv-billederne er mere spændende; børnene imiterer volden, der gør indtryk på dem på tv-skærmen derhjemme; journalisterne skriver, som tvspeakeme taler; de bygger ikke billeder op, de kommenterer dem bare; de unges kultur er fjernsynspræget; i min tid var de unges kultur et arv.
And we would say formally to our friends in Malta and Cypms that this Parliament will give their applications for membership a favourable reception, as long as they resolutely join the camp of the advocates of institutional reform, rather than that of the supporters of the status quo and an unchanged European Union.
Fjernsynet fremstiller ambitioner, laver revolutioner. Det kan være med til at gøre imperiers opløsning nemmere.
We shall be happy to welcome them, as long as they are prepared to join with us in thoroughly transforming the institutional structures of the European Union.
Vi har kun fire kanaler, hvoraf de to er statsejede.
Green (PSE). - Mr President, on a point of order.
Men med en fast parabolantenne kan man se 5-10 kanaler, med det lovede kabel 30, med en mobil parabolantenne 90. De amerikanske serier og standardfilm - i vort tilfælde også de brasilianske serier - slås om sendetiden med reklamerne.
I should like to say, as somebody who was born in Malta of a Maltese mother and a British father - I am therefore half Maltese - it really is an outrage to hear Malta, which did so much in defence of democracy in Europe this century, referred to as an appendage of Libya!
Informationen deler portugiserne i to klasser.
That is an outrageous statement and cannot in any way be justified!
Hvordan forestiller Kommissionen sig at forhindre, at de offentlige radiofonier kommer i den knibe?
Habsburg (PPE). - (DE) Mr President, we have had Malta on our agenda for a very long time and we ought to realize how urgent this matter is.
Det nuværende EF-mediedirektiv har i Nederlandene ført til, at det offentlige radiofonisystem er blevet kommercielt på bekostning af programmernes kvalitet.
It is a matter of external security. We know just how important Malta is strategically, particularly in the light of the most recent develop ments in the situation in the Mediterranean.
Vi må sætte en stopper for, at det fænomen fortsætter.
We are also aware that Malta presents us with a major political problem.
Banotti (PPE). - (EN) Hr. formand, magtkoncentration i multimedierne er specielt bekymringsvækkende i mindre lande.
Now that the conditions have been fulfilled, we must stop at nothing to draw Malta into the European Community for economic reasons and for reasons relating to our security policy.
Skønt de er små i forhold til giganterne, er deres potentielle magt i disse mindre lande endnu større.
We need to accelerate the process of accession as much as possible to prevent Malta from being exposed to that type of danger once again.
I mit eget land har statens radio og TV monopol, og der føres for tiden en seriøs, national debat om, hvorvidt staten fortsat kan og bør bevare dette monopol.
This danger cannot be overlooked, given Malta's vitally important strategic position in'the Mediterranean.
Karellis (PSE). - (GR) Hr. formand, ingen kan beskylde Den Europæiske Union for mangel på interesse for det vældige problem, der opstår på grund af koncentrationen af medierne i nogle få hænder.
Prag (PPE). - Mr President, whatever the origins of its language, Malta is, by tradition, feeling and history, European.
Dette viser nærværende betænkning, hvis indhold jeg er absolut enig i, og som jeg vil anbefale, at man læser og vedtager. Jeg vil blot tilføje et par ting til betænkningens interessante og væsentlige punkter.
From the Knights of Malta and their extraordinary and crucial defence against the Turks in the sixteenth century to the incredible bravery of the Maltese in the last war, Malta has fought for Europe and for freedom and democracy.
Da det er der, det hele begyndte, ligger mit hjerte derfor hos den offentlige radio- og TV-tjeneste.
We must avoid linking several applicants for accession, as has been done in the case of the Vysehrad countries.
Men mit hoved fortæller mig imidlertid, at vore magtbeføjelser er begrænsede på dette område, og at realiteten er, at de kolossale monopoler og nye teknologier allerede eksisterer og ikke anerkender nogen form for grænse.
We need to avoid creating convoys of applicants, so that when one country is finding the going tough, all the others are forced to advance at the rate of the slowest member.
Vi må have en vis kontrolmulighed, hvis de fortsat skal afspejle Europas kulturer og værdier.
We must assess each country on the basis of its efforts, the work it is doing and the
Jo større enheder medierne koncentreres i, desto mere sjældne bliver journalisterne.
If you suggested to any Maltese that he or she was not European, he would think you mad.
Og desto mere overtager forretningsmanden, som ofte er skruppelløs.
I know that the unhappy command economy of the Mintoff days has not entirely vanished.
Det er ikke kun den europæiske borgers penge, som den forretningsmand, der sørger for at kontrollere medierne, kræver en stor del af.
In those days when, as this Parliament's rapporteur on Malta, I first visited the island, the slovenliness and inefficiency of the economic system were manifest everywhere.
Hvis blot det var tilfældet, ville skaden ikke være så stor. Men han tager også vor tid, vor moral, vor livsholdning og vor kultur og erstatter dem med sin egen moral, sin egen livsholdning, sin egen kultur.
Today, under a national party government, a social market economy is developing and
Det er den virkelighed, hr. Hoppenstedt ønsker, og den er fuld af farer.
The Commission perhaps believes that economic transformation has not yet gone far enough.
De må derfor have vor opmærksomhed og støtte, da de er svaret, måske det eneste svar, på den fare, der hedder »koncentration af medierne i monopoler eller oligopoler«.
To that I can only reply that few Western Europeans realized just how far Dom Mintoff had taken the economy towards a total command economy of the Eastern European Social ist type fully under the control of the state.
Vi kan tale på andre menneskers vegne, og det har vi pligt til at gøre.
meeting of the Committee on Civil Liberties on Monday.
Vi bør efter min mening holde op med at tale helt så meget om, hvad dette vil betyde for Europa.
Nevertheless, we expect the Council not to pull out of an interinstitutional agreement but to open negotiations as quickly as possible.
I løbet af den seneste uge har hr. Murdoch gjort massive køb inden for indisk TV. Og hvis Indien skal igennem de forvrængninger, som er blevet det afrikanske kontinent til del i denne prestigeprægede avis, så har vi en forpligtelse.
If it does not, the European Parliament would have to explain to the citizens of the European Union that the Council is trying to avoid effective parliamentary control in areas which have a direct bearing on their rights and obligations.
Vi har en forpligtelse over for sandheden. Virkeligheden eksisterer, og den er skræmmende.
It is in that light that we must judge what has been achieved since 1987 when the National Party government came to power under Edward Fenech Adami.
Der er beviser.
In that light what has been achieved is truly remarkable.
Men der er ingen af os, der kan få adgang til hr. .
The transformation is continuing.
Murdochs spalter eller til Sky Television for at tilbagevise noget.
Similarly, MintofFs neutrality has lost all its real content.
På medicinernes, videnskabsfolkenes, avislæsernes vegne - og jeg er selv et entusiastisk medlem af den sidste kategori - vil jeg gerne bede Kommissionen om at rejse sig og gribe til handling.
There are the very genuine difficulties that Mrs Cassanmagnago Cerretti referred to yesterday and that Mr Bourlanges has just been talking about: the whole institutional question, voting in Council, the veto, representation on the Commission and in this Parliament, and so on.
Faktisk bliver det kulturelles værdier i praksis opofret fuldstændig for markedsreglerne og for direktiverne vedrørende konkurrence.
But I believe these problems can be resolved and that the Maltese Government is ready to be reasonable about them.
Heldig vis har Unionen siden Maastricht-Traktaten været for pligtet til i den generelle politik at tage hensyn til de kulturelle virkninger.
Malta is a European country, a democratic country which respects human rights and freedoms and is well on the way to an efficient market economy.
Det giver kommissionsmedlemmet for kultur og frem for alt også Europa-Parlamentet en udtrykkelig funktion som vagthund.
It should and must be a part of the European Union as soon as possible.
Hr. formand, efter min betragtning kommer forskellen mellem på den ene side de ikke-kommercielle, kulturbærende radiofonier uden sigte om fortjeneste og på den anden side de kommercielle i første række.
The European Parliament would also have to consider whether the Union is capable of accommodating new members, given the current state of European integration and the stance adopted by the Council.
De sidst nævnte karakteriseres af redaktionel frihed, som ikke rækker længere end den redaktionelle frihed hos den gratis annonceavis og adskiller sig derved klart fra de frie kulturbærende medier.
What are Parliament's main demands in relation to the interinstitutional agreement?
Direktiver mod den udstrakte koncentration i medieverdenen kan i virkeligheden beskytte kulturens farverighed mod forfladigelse via ensidig økonomisk udvikling.
We have to be informed in good time and we have to be given the opportunity - as is stated in legally binding form in Article K.6 - to deliver an opinion before these agreements are concluded.
Naturligvis kræves der også mere.
Further more, the Council is bound to take due account of our opinion.
Forfladigelsen af Europa via ensidig økonomisk udvikling gør Europa upopulær blandt borgerne, og omsorgen derfor er altså et vigtigt skridt i retning af den kulturelle demokratisering af vort Fællesskab.
If the Council refuses or fails to do so, Parliament would have to consider whether or not to initiate proceedings against the Council before the European Court of Justice on the grounds of violation of Article K.6.
Han kommer ind på mange af de centrale spørgsmål, som denne betænkning i den foreliggende form desværre ikke behandler.
Secondly, Parliament goes beyond Article K.6 to ask the Council for an undertaking not to initiate the ratification procedures on any agreement in this sector until Parliament has given its approval.
Ordførernes ensidige fokusering på pluralismen med hensyn til ejerskab har gjort dem blinde over for det virkelige spørgsmål, den europæiske medie- og kommunikationsindustri nu står over for.
In doing so, the Council would be giving a clear sign that the Twelve are prepared to transfer justice and internal affairs to Community level when negotiations for the revision of the Maastricht Treaty begin in 1996.
Konvergensen mellem de nye kommunikationsteknologier er ved at revolutionere denne industris vækst potentiale.
President. - The next item is the report by Mr Jarzembowski, on behalf of the Committee on Civil Liberties and Internal Affairs (A3-0436/93) on the participation by the European Parliament in international agreements by the Member States and the Union on cooperation in the fields of justice and home affairs
Man regner med, at kommunikationsindustrien i det næste århundrede vil blive den største i verden, niveauet anslås at komme til at ligge på US £ 2,5 billioner.
Thirdly, Parliament must insist that these proposals be taken up in the accession negotiations, together with the international agreements which we hope will be con cluded soon and that the applicant countries agree to the European Parliament's effective involvement in the agreements in the field of justice and internal affairs.
Digital kompression, som - på trods af, at fru Banotti ikke bryder sig om det - vil hundrcdcdoble det antal kanaler og tjenester, der er til forbrugerens rådighed, har betydet, at tiden er løbet fra de fleste af de nuværende bestemmelser om ejerskabsforholdene inden for medierne.
If these countries, or individual countries, fail to agree, we, as a Parliament, would be forced to reflect on whether there is any point in going ahead with enlargement without an extension of our right of involvement.
Vor minister, Peter Brooke, erkendte disse nye realiteter i sit løfte her for nylig om at liberalisere ejerskabsforholdene på tværs af medierne. Jeg glæder mig over denne meddelelse, men nationale initiativer er ikke nok i sig selv.
Jarzembowski (PPE), rapporteur. - (DE) Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, the Maastricht Treaty has rightly made cooperation between the twelve EU Member States in the field of justice and internal affairs one of the key functions of the European Union.
Efter globale normer er de europæiske medieselskaber oftest små og fragmenterede. Uden nye markeder og bredere investeringsmuligheder vil disse selskaber ikke være i stand til at leve op til den amerikanske og japanske konkurrence.
However, as this cooperation is essentially reflected in the formulation and conclusion of international agreements between the Twelve, whether we are concerned with the policy of asylum or Europol, it must be in the interests of the citizens of our Community for effective parliamentary control to be exercised simply by involving the European Parliament in the negotiations between the Twelve lead ing to the conclusion of an agreement, that is to say in the conclusion and implementation of these agreements.
Buchan (PSE). - (EN) Hr. formand, ligesom hr. Cassidy må jeg erklære, at jeg har en personlig interesse i dette område, men ikke i form af en aktiebesiddelse eller erfaring fra lønnet beskæftigelse inden for medieverdenen.
Fourthly and lastly, the European Parliament calls on the Member States of the European Union in turn to state that they agree to inform Parliament of the conclusion of special agreements between individual Member States in the fields of justice and internal matters and to involve us in those agreements. The best example of this type of agreement is the Schengen Agreement.
Jeg har brugt 30 år af mit liv på at føre kampagner om indholdet, den sag, som bliver behandlet i Schinzel-Fayot-betænkningen.
Of course, we do not know when it will come into force but its implementation sets the standard for the Union and it will have a far-reaching effect on the rights and obligations of our citizens.
Vi har hørt fru Tongues ord om farerne ved de nye internationale medier.
That is why Parliament is intent on being involved in the implementation of the Schengen Agree ment.
Svaret er ikke overdrevne koncentrationsniveauer.
The European Parliament cannot accept that the govern ments meeting in Council have not so far succeeded even in adopting a common stance on the preparations for an interinstitutional agreement.
Tværtimod er koncentrationen af ejerskabet inden for de europæiske medier en direkte følge af det manglende indre marked i denne sektor.
If this is the case and if the negotiations are not opened soon along the lines we have set out, then we, as a Parliament, will have to consider blocking the path of individual initiatives in the fields of
Vi står i dag i en situation, hvor beslutningstagerne kun kan håbe på at kunne ekspandere inden for deres egne begrænsede, nationale markeder.
I regret that we have not broached this subject until now and that the Council is only represented by its officials.
