Men nu er øjeblikket kommet til at handle, mener vi.
Preamble D talks about Community measures to limit media concentration.
Til at handle måske også ved at gøre forsøg, ved at fremlægge foreslag, som kan revideres igen i fremtiden. Men vi befinder os i dette øjeblik i en fase, som kræver et meget afgørende initiativ, der haster.
The Commission is asked to submit a proposal for a directive, firstly, harmonizing national restrictions on media concentration and, secondly, and here is the punchline, enabling the Community to inter vene in the event of concentrations which endanger pluralism on a European scale.
Mens Europastrateger drøfter, hvad der er nationalt, og hvad der hører til Fællesskabet, er der andre, der globalt fortsætter koncentrationen og dermed skaber forhold, som vi så bliver nødt til at acceptere.
Given the importance of this issue to the guaranteeing of democratic coexistence, we must welcome the fact that the Commission has draw up an excellent analysis of the situation, as contained in its Green Paper.
For det andet dens vidtfavnende karakter.
In keeping with the content of the Green Paper, we agree with the rapporteurs on the need to establish rules and to ensure the transparency of property ownership in this important sector.
Hardware- og softwareindustrierne sammenkædes vidtgående og supplerende til koncerner, der dækker hele den audiovisuelle produktions- og distributionskæde.
We therefore urge the Commission to use, to the full, the legal instruments at its disposal, in order to prevent the distortion of competition, and to draw up a directive harmonizing the various national measures designed to prevent the monopolistic concentration of the media.
Endelig består det tredje hovedkarakteristikum for koncentration i, at man ikke kan undgå den, navnlig ikke vi europæere.
All of this demonstrates that we do not actually believe in the freedom of the press. We actually want to control it.
Alligevel rækker spørgsmålet om koncentrationen og tilbagevirkningerne ud over, hvad der er godt, og hvad der er dårligt.
The reassuring thing, however, is that politicians and, for that matter civil servants, are great ones for trying to close the stable door after the horse has bolted.
Ud fra en rent økonomisk synsvinkel er
Technology is moving on even as we speak.
Kernen i det i betænkningen indeholdte beslutningsforslag er anmodningen til Kommissionen om at fremsætte et direktivforslag, der kan dække de mange problemer, vi må konfrontere, ind.
While we try to persuade the Commission to introduce new legislation, it will actually be a question of trying to close the stable door after the satellite has been launched.
de betingede koncentrationer absolut nødvendige, og så længe de ikke truer det pluralistiske grundlag for den frie meningsdannelse, ville vi være ilde stedt, hvis vi hindre de udviklingen.
Coimbra Martins (PSE). - (PT) Mr President, in this debate on the audiovisual media, it is perhaps appropriate to remember the Charlie Chaplin film 'Modem Times', which depicts the misadventures of an inventor of machines whose inventions turn against him.
Der for har Det Europæiske Folkepartis Gruppe indgivet følgende ændringsforslag, som vi finder nødvendige, for at betænkningen får det rette sigte og ligevægt og den fornødne sammenhæng. I betænkningen må det erken-
Nowadays the fourth power, that of information, has in some cases become even more important than the other three.* I therefore believe that today the separation of powers - and that includes the fourth power as a whole
For det fjerde afviser vi den af ordførerne krævede indgriben fra Kommissionens side, ligesom det europæ iske medieråd.
Coimbra Martins up more and more space in his home, and more and more of his leisure time - first black and white, then colour; then with two, three, thirty channels; then cable television, satellite television, cinemascopic television, high definition television.
Atter en ny institution, atter et nyt bureaukrati, nej, ellers tak.
Rather than solving his problems, man creates new needs for himself.
des, at fænomenet koncentration har en økonomisk nødvendig og global karakter, og det må der tages hensyn til.
van der Waal (NI). - (NL) Mr President, the Community enjoys certain economic powers as part of its media policy.
For det femte afviser vi den kunstige beskyttelse af de offentlige radiofonier, som dukker op som en slange i paradis overalt i betænkningen.
It is the Commission's task to monitor competition in the world of the media and related sectors and to take action against monopolies and the concentration of interests.
Kun hvis Hoppenstedts og Jacksons ændringsforslag vedtages, kan min gruppe stemme for betænkningen.
Sometimes it is responsible for the fall of regimes.
Vi kræver den dybeste respekt for nærhedsprincippet.
Public broadcasting authorities can easily fall victim to such moves.
Det gælder både de eventuelt nødvendige harmoniseringsforanstaltninger og det foreslåede europæiske medieråds opgaver.
And yet there can be no doubt that these are the companies which fly the flag of cultural diversity without regard for profit.
Fælles skabet kan ikke på forhånd fritage nogle eksisterende virksomheder fra bestemmelserne alene på grund af deres formelle organisationsstrukturer.
Unfortunately, neither the Green Paper nor the Fayot-Schinzel report throw adequate light on this danger.
Gældende bestemmelser, dvs. navnlig konkurrenceretten, skal måske oven i købet finde anvendelse fuldt ud.
How does the Commission intend to prevent public broadcasting companies from coming under pressure?
Jeg anmoder forsamlingen om at stemme for vore ændringsforslag.
The Community's present media directive has created a situation in the Netherlands in which the public broad casting company was commercialized at the expense of the quality of its programmes.
Jeg bemærker, at en del af vore ændringsforslag er blevet indføjet.
We have to stop this trend and prevent it from spreading.
Alt imens reklamemarkedet skrumper ind, ser vi i dag, at medier forsvinder, fordi de havde accepteret at være afhængige af handelsverdenen.
Of course, in my own country, it is not quite like that. There are only four channels on network television, two of which are run by the State.
Mangfoldigheden er gået tabt på grund af koncentration.
The private news channels which recently appeared were refreshing after the previous news service.
Tabt mangfoldighed er lig med tabte arbejdspladser. Tab af arbejdspladser medfører ringere informationskvalitet.
American programmes, American films - in the case of Portugal, Brazilian soap operas - compete with advertisements to fill our screens.
Ringere kvalitet er udtryk for, at man har opgivet presseetikken, hvilket så bevirker dalende troværdighed hos offentligheden.
The Portuguese are being divided into two classes by their ability to receive information.
Lokal information er monopoliseret, hvilket de store presseimperier forstærker på internationalt plan.
I have not yet begun to speak about the subject under discussion, but so as not to overrun my speaking time, Mr President, I shall set out my views in an explanation of vote.
CNN bringer sine billeder til hele verden, og to nyhedsbureauer står for de vigtigste journalistiske kilder i verden.
Karellis (PSE). - (GR) Mr President, nobody can accuse the European Union of lack of sensitivity concerning the all-important issue created by media concentration in the hands of a few or very few.
Det står dog værre til i landene i Den Tredje Verden, hvor man ikke længere har egne kilder.
On the contrary, it could basically be argued that the Union and its bodies are doing what is necessary about this, though not perhaps in drastic amounts.
UNESCO har forsøgt at hjælpe Afrika med at udforme sin egen information, men måtte opgive det efter pres fra de store og mægtige nyhedsbureauer. Unionen kunne videreføre denne kamp.
The proof of this is the present report, with whose content I agree completely and whose acceptance I recommend.
Men man må gå længere end betænkningen, som vi dog støtter, for den er et vigtigt skridt hen imod en virkelig demokratisk medieverden.
I just want to add a few things to what the report deals with and essentially covers.
Larive (LDR). - (NL) Hr. formand, nødvendigheden af pluralisme er vi enige om her i Parlamentet fra venstre til højre.
Banotti (PPE). - Mr President, concentration of power in the multimedia is of particular concern in small countries.
Pressekoncentration forholder det sig allerede noget vanskeligere med; for os er det ikke sort og hvidt der, for gennem større samarbejde, for eksempel mellem regionale blade, kan pluralismen netop fremmes.
Though small in comparison to the giants, their potential power in these small countries is even greater.
Myndighedernes rolle i den forbindelse og de instrumenter, som de nationale og europæiske myndigheder skal bruge, forholder det sig endnu vanskeligere med. Om det siger jeg på vegne af Den Liberale og Demokratiske Gruppe: tilbageholdenhed.
I come from a country where state broadcasting holds a monopoly and where there is a serious national debate on whether they can or should continue to hold that monopoly.
I alle vore lande gælder stadig også i medierne principperne for markedsøkonomi og forretningsmæssig sund produktion, og lad os ikke glemme den skrevne presses frihed og det nærhedsprincip, som vi alle bekender os til på så gribende vis.
The larger the unit in which media are concentrated, the smaller the role of the journalist and the larger that of the entrepreneur, whose motives are often ambiguous and not infrequently unbridled.
Men hvis der via for stor koncentration af magt gøres vold på konkurrencen og alsidigheden, så vil også vi liberale gribe ind.
It is not just the European citizen's money to which an entrepreneur who manages to dominate the media lays claim in substantial measure.
Men også fragmenteringen af det europæiske marked - og forskellige medlemmer har allerede henvist til det - via alle de forskellige nationale regler afsvækker vor konkurrenceposition, og kun tre af de tolv største mediegrupper er europæiske.
But he also claims our time and influences our minds and opinions and our micro- and macro-civilization, only to impose his own views, opinions and civilization.
Simeoni (ARC). - (FR) Hr. formand, det er på et afgørende tidspunkt i de audiovisuelle mediers historie, at vi drøfter betænkningen af hr. Fayot og hr. Schinzel.
My head, however, tells me that our powers are limited in this area and that the reality is that the huge monopolies and new technologies already exist and recognize no borders.
I de kommende år står vi nemlig over for en eksplosiv udvikling i antallet af kanaler på grund af den digitale teknik.
We must have some measure of control if they are to continue to reflect the cultures and values of Europe.
For det andet kan harmonisering af nationale bestemmelser om multimedievirksomheders ejendomsret være nyt tig; det kan vi tilslutte os for at forebygge omgåelse af nationale bestemmelser gennem såkaldt medieturisme, for at styrke den europæiske medieindustris internationale konkurrenceposition og fjerne hindringerne for det indre markeds funktion; tjenesteydelser, etableringsfrihed, konkurrence og juridisk usikkerhed.
One could even say that the small units characteristic of Europe's peripheries - I speak here about newspapers, radio and television stations - keep the courage of their convictions, respect the profession of journalism, believe in values and are fighting for democracy, for nonuniformity and for the preservation of our Europe's cultural identities. > Consequently, we must give them our most particular attention and support, since they provide an answer, perhaps the only answer, to the existing danger called 'media concentration in the hands of monopolies or oligopolies'.
Men lad os være på vagt.
Much has been said today about choice.
Mit forbehold skyldes erfaringen med frigørelsen fra bølgerne i Frankrig i 1981.
My idea of an absolute nightmare is to have the choice between 48 different television stations.
I første omgang oprettedes der ikkekommercielle radiostationer, der ydede lytterne nære tjenester og originale programmer.
When faced with that choice, the only thing I can do is tum the whole lot of them off and go out and have a brisk walk.
For det tredje, og her tilslutter jeg mig fuldstændig udtalelsen fra Udvalget om ¥konomi, Valutaspørgsmål og Industripolitik, skal der, før vi skrider til denne lovgivning, være en drøftelsesrunde nummer to med alle de berørte for at evaluere deres reaktioner på grønbogen og for at høre dem på ny. Det spilder vi ikke tid ved, det vinder vi tid ved.
However, I must emphasize that the fear of cultural domination from outside is a real one, and the proposal by the rapporteurs for a directive enabling the Commission to intervene in the event of any undue concentration threatening pluralism on a European scale is a good one, and I support it.
Hvis vi alene lader markedsmekanismerne styre mediesektoren og ikke får mulighed for at lovgive og fastsætte regler, herunder også på europæisk plan, så vi kan
Oostlander (PPE). - (NL) Mr President, national cultural policy with reference to the media has come under severe
Det er påskud, man som regel vifter med, til fastsættelsen af sendetiderne og til et næsten censurlignende valg af de synspunkter, der skal komme til udtryk i lyd og billeder.
But none of us can get into any of Mr Murdoch's columns or on to Sky television to rebut this.
Den bekymring, som den foreliggende betænkning giver udtryk for - og jeg vil gerne komplimentere ordførerne -er derfor meget relevant og legitim, selv om den kun refererer til et - men meget vigtigt - aspekt.
On behalf of the medics, on behalf of the scientists, on behalf of the newspaper readers, of whom I am an enthusiastic one, I ask the Commission to get up and move.
Vi går ind for fremme af en dynamisk offentlig tjeneste, der ikke er under indflydelse af private interesser.
pressure as a result of the one-sided economic develop ment of the European Union.
Siger man offentlig tjeneste, siger man imidlertid også moralsk forpligtelse til at tage hensyn til meningernes mangfoldighed.
Cultural values are actually being sacrificed to the mies of the market economy and competition directives.
Det skal bemærkes, at denne forpligtelse ikke altid bliver overtaget, som den bør.
Fortunately, since the Maastricht Treaty came into force, the European Union has been bound to take cultural issues into account in its general policy.
Hvis den offentlige tjeneste vil forsvares og respekteres af offentligheden, må den være respektabel.
This gives the Commissioner responsible for cultural matters and, above all, the European Parliament a clear role to play as a watchdog. Let me put it another way.
En nylig meningsmåling i Frankrig viser, at et stort flertal af fjernsynsseerne ikke længere stoler på audiovisuelle medier, hverken de private eller de offentlige.
Rawlings (PPE). - Mr President, I would first like to thank Mr Fayot and Mr Schinzel for all the hard work they have put into their report.
De offentlige medier har kun en fremtid, hvis de frigør sig fra al magt, bl.a. pengenes magt, men særlig også den politiske magt, uanset hvilken orientering der er tale om.
I would also like to congratulate Mr Jackson on his excellent opinion on the same subject.
Medierne bør i vore samfund have arkitektens rolle; de bør fremme demokratiets og kulturens udvikling.
He raises many of the key issues which this report in its present form sadly does not address.
Denne frigørelse er absolut nødvendig for den demokratiske udvikling, ellers er det et tilbageskridt for demokratiet. tiet.
The rapporteurs' exclusive preoccupation with pluralism of ownership has blinded them to the real issue now facing the European media and communications industry.
Schönhuber (NI). - (DE) Hr. formand, først vil jeg gerne takke ordførerne for deres særdeles grundige og dygtige arbejde.
The convergence of new communication technologies is revolutionizing the growth potential for this industry.
Jeg mener, at medierne ganske vist arbejder grænseoverskridende, men at deres beføjelser bør behandles på nationalt plan, og begrænser mig derfor til betænkningens afsnit om Tyskland.
It is estimated that by the next century communications will be the biggest industry in the world, worth an estimated US$ 2.5 trillion.
Dillen (DR). - (NL) Hr. formand, udviklingen i massemedierne har i de senere år været af en sådan art, at man i virkeligheden ikke kan være bekymret nok.
Digital compression, which will multiply a hundredfold - even if Mrs Banotti does not like it -the number of channels and services available to the consumer, has rendered obsolete most of the current regulations governing media ownership.
Der er umiskendeligt en tendens til at samle stadig mere mediemagt på stadig færre hænder.
Our Secretary of State, Peter Brooke, acknowledged these new realities in his recent promise to liberalize cross-media ownership.
Det fænomen gør ikke holdt ved landegrænserne.
I welcome this announcement, but national action on its own is not enough.
Det fænomen gør ikke engang holdt ved Europas grænser.
By global standards European media companies tend to be small and fragmented.
Forsvarsforanstaltninger er på deres plads for at byde supermilliarderne og deres mediemagtgreb et »hertil og ikke længere«, for at forhindre, at der opstår ét stort medielandskab.
Without new markets and wider investment opportunities, these com panies will not be able to face up to American and Japanese competition.
Jeg ved, hvad jeg talerom, for jeg har arbejdet inden for medierne i over fyrre år, senest på lederniveau.
In my view, there is a clear distinction between the non-profit making, cultural idealists and the commercial stations.
Både de private og de offentlig retlige stationer er i deres bestræbelser dog enige om for enhver pris at bevare de aktuelle magtforhold.
The Fayot-Schinzel report is a necessary step towards protecting non-profit making public media whose primary function is that of bearers and disseminators of culture.
Således kan en forbundskansler Kohl regelmæssigt holde sin politiske eventyrtime på SATI.
Directives aimed at preventing growing concentration in the media sector could indeed protect the colour and diversity of our culture against the standardization imposed by one-sided economic development.
Hvad kan man gøre?
Of course, we need to go further than that.
Løsningen er ikke et nyt europæisk medieråd med mottoet »Udgifter, udgifter og atter udgifter«, men nye konkrete bestemmelser på medieområdet, f.eks. at politi kerne fjernes fra radiorådene.
Yet it is also important to carve out a prime position for the non-profit making media and so I would like to see them being granted a special status in Europe.
Det er den eneste måde, hvorpå man kan virkeliggøre forfatningens krav om afstand til staten.
Allowing one-sided economic development to force Europe into a standard mould makes us unpopular with our citizens which means that efforts to prevent it are an important step in the direction of preserving cultural democracy in this Community of ours.
Men rækker foranstaltninger mod trust- og monopoldannelse til at garantere alsidighed og kvalitet?
Excessive concentration levels are not the answer.
Overhovedet ikke. Ingen foranstaltninger forhindrer nu om dage, at programproducenter ledes af en ensidig mondialt inspireret ideologiseren.
On the contrary, concentration of ownership in Europe's media is the direct result of the lack of a single market in this sector.
Ingen foranstaltninger forhindrer pro gramproducenterne i at hylde filosofien »plat, plattere, plattest« på mange kanaler.
We have a situation today where operators can only hope to expand within the confines of their own limited national market.
Når det således er på sin plads at føre strid mod den farlige monopoldannelse i medieverdenen, er alt dermed langtfra sagt.
Buchan (PSE). - Mr President, like Mr Cassidy, I have to declare an interest, but not in shares owned or experience in a paid occupation in the media.
Kampen for sandhed, ærlighed og kvalitet begynder først da.
I have spent 30 years of my life campaigning on the content, the issue contained in the Schinzel-Fayot report.
Der må klart og tydeligt tages afstand fra den tiltagende koncentration i de private radio- og tv-stationer.
We have heard from Mrs Tongue about the danger of the new international media.
Når alle advarsler ikke fører til noget, f.eks. hos de offentligretlige stationer, bør vi som sidste pressionsmiddel gøre brug af radiolicenserne.
This man owns Sky Television and two prestigious newspapers, The Times and The Sunday Times.
Barata Moura (CG). - (PT) Hr. formand, i politisk og kulturmæssigt modne samfund er respekten for pluralisme og udsendelse af programmer med et alsidigt udbud af holdninger ikke nogen hindring for medievirksomhedernes konkurrenceevne.
For three years he has been using that very powerful base to campaign that HIV is not the vims that gives you AIDS, to campaign that there is not a pandemic of AIDS in Africa and no one - this elected Member, Nobel Prize winners, medics or scientists - has the right of reply.
Tongue (PSE). - (EN) Hr. formand, jeg vil gerne sige ordførerne tak.
Vanni d'Archirafi, Member of the Commission. - (IT) Mr President, I should like to begin by thanking this House for having participated so fully in the consultation process that was launched with the Green Paper.
De regler, vi fastsætter for pressen og medierne, er bestemmende for, i hvilket omfang vi får pluralisme og diversitet, uafhængighed og frihed inden for nyhedsformidlingen, hvilket alt sammen påvirker den form for demokrati, vi lever under.
Both the Green Paper in itself and the broad-based consultations are excellent examples of cooperation between Parliament and the Commission, because it was specifically in response to this House's request that the process was undertaken.
Ellers er der risiko for alvorlige og manipulerende forvridninger.
In the last seven days Mr Murdoch has bought massively into Indian television.
Det, der kan berolige os, er dog, at politikerne og for dens sags skyld også embedsmændene i høj grad går ind for forsøg på at lukke stalddøren, efter at hestene er stukket af.
I am afraid that is no longer possible; we have to live with television, now, and this is precisely the purpose of the debate.
Vi forsøger her at overbevise Kommissionen om, at der skal indføres ny lovgivning, men det svarer faktisk til, at vi prøver at lukke stalddøren, efter at satellitten er sendt op.
Titley (PSE). - Mr President, I first want to say that I regret we are having this discussion at this time, not because of any hostility to the applicant countries, but because we should have had this debate after the Com mission statement on 30 June, and not waited until now to hold it.
Langer (V). - (IT) Hr. formand, ved det liberale demokratis begyndelse, som vi kender det, betragtede man delingen af de tre klassiske magter: den lovgivende magt, den udøvende magt, den dømmende magt som grundlaget for demokratiet.
Having said that, the Commission's paper issued on 30 June is a very clever document, steering a difficult path through a number of problems; welcoming, on the one hand, the fact that both Malta and Cyprus in many ways are completely qualified to join the European Union -although, as an aside, I should observe that Cyprus is to the south of Tunis and to the east of St Petersburg, and that perhaps sets up new parameters for what we mean by the European Union - and, on the other, recognizing the many difficulties there are with the applications.
Det betyder, at selskabet ejer fem TV-kanaler, som kan nå alle husstande i hele Det Europæiske Fællesskab.
It seems, today more than ever, that if pluralism is to be protected, we need a strong, competitive communications industry in Europe.
Samtidig ejer News International også 35% af vore nationale dagblade. Endvidere kontrollerer News International Video-crypt-satellitsystemet.
The former, pluralism, cannot exist without the latter, a strong, competitive communications industry in Europe.
