Augias (PSE). - (IT) Hr. formand, hr. kommissær, kære kolleger, jeg vil ikke bevæge mig ned på hr. Tajanis niveau. Den alvorligste fejl, vi kunne gøre, ville være at betragte mediernes pluralisme som et emne, der kunne udnyttes på den måde, vi lige har hørt.
De Coene (PSE). - (NL) I would go a step further, Mrs Banotti. If we are calling for a directive, it is not simply one that is based on an economic concept.
Hvad forventer I?
Let us look at how things stand.
Hvordan kan De og hr. Delors bare gå som nogle grå skygger - der ikke har kunnet udrette noget - og give stafetten videre til Berlusconis mænd?
A directive which simply opens up the market but provides no solid guarantees of pluralism is precisely the kind of directive which these ladies and gentlemen are awaiting.
Er det Deres holdning, Deres ansvarsfølelse?
We should therefore make no mistake here about who are the enemy, not least within the Commission, nor any less who their friends are within Parliament.
Er det sådan, De vil skrive mediehistorie og kæmpe for demokratiet?
Let us not forget that the lobby of media magnates may shortly be making its entry into the Commission, a lobby which actually has its own political group here in Parliament.
Til sidst vil jeg gerne sige, at de audiovisuelle medier bør være et grundlæggende emne under Parlamentets høring af den nye Kommission.
If the Commissioner nevertheless wishes to hold further consultations, it would be no bad thing, in our view, for these to be guided principally by independent institutes and experts.
Uanset hvad en kommissærs konkrete kompetence er, kan man ikke se bort fra, at vi står over for et væsentligt emne, når det gælder vor kulturs overlevelse, vore børns opdragelse, beskyttelsen af den demokratiske dannelse af konsensus.
Banotti (PPE). - Mr President, about eight years ago I happened to be in a developing country, and as one does in one's hotel bedroom, I switched on the television set and watched the local news.
At have en kulturelt begrundet vision, hr. Vanni d'Archirafì, er ikke en luksus eller en chik tilføjelse, det er en integreret del af det emne, uden hvilket man slet ikke kan beskæftige sig med dette spørgsmål.
There were eight items on the news, and it was a politician's dream. For those of us in the European Parliament who have great difficulty in getting our speeches covered in the national media this was a dream.
Hvis jeg må, er det netop dette, jeg gør med den ganske vist præcise og brillante betænkning, De har fremlagt.
The President's activities from the time he had his breakfast in the morning until he went to bed tired at night took up seven items on the news.
Trajani (FE). - (IT) Hr. formand, kære kolleger, jeg må anerkende hr. Bertinotti for at have givet Parlamentet en god nyhed og for også at have udtrykt et ønske for os.
Otherwise, the people of that country knew nothing about anything else except this one man, who was in power in their country.
Under disse omstændigheder vil jeg minde Kommissionen om, at det netop er dens pligt hurtigst muligt at fremlægge det direktiv, som Parlamentet allerede har bedt den om, uanset hvor mange vanskeligheder, modsigelser og ømme, politiske punkter det er nødvendigt at overvinde. Dette direktiv prøver at behandle emnet med en integreret, kulturel vision, idet den tager bestemmelsen i artikel 128, stk. 4 i Maastricht-Traktaten - som De, hr. kommissær, kender bedre end nogen anden - i betragtning og den henvisning, der findes i samme traktat til erklæringen om menneskerettighederne, hvori retten til fri information bestemt indgår.
In short, we are calling unequivocally for a directive, and a directive that is not based on economic considerations, but is drawn up in the first instance on the basis of cultural concerns: a concern for protecting independent media, a concern for safeguarding public broadcasting, a concern for pluralism itself and, last but not least, a concern above all for the written press, because in these days of satellite television, no one seems to concern themselves about this any more.
De er helt frie til at foretage politiske operationer, men man ved, at hele operationen i dag er en politisk operation fra venstrefløjens side.
Regulation of media companies is still needed to ensure pluralism, but European media companies must be free to compete aggressively with the US and Japanese giants.
Det glæder mig, at fru Castellina 1er, for hendes søde smil trøster os, men også hun, som formand for udvalget, kunne måske have optrådt på en helt anden måde.
I would urge colleagues to remember that this is an industry with enormous growth and employment potential for all our citizens, and we cannot stifle that potential.
Vi ved, at venstrefløjen her i Parlamentet for ofte stiller forslag, som kun har til formål i aviserne dagen efter at opnå overskrifter som »Europa afviser regeringen, Strasbourg afviser regeringen«.
The truth is that when it came to the crunch, the Commission - and it is not just the Commissioner here today but some of his colleagues too - could not stand the political heat, and it was not the political heat from Members of this Parliament: it was the political heat from people who were not in this Parliament.
Temmelig lidt, vil jeg sige.
The Commissioner told us last week that he never
Banotti (PPE). - (EN) Hr. formand, for ca. otte år siden opholdt jeg mig i et udviklingsland, og som man gør på et hotelværelse, tændte jeg for fjernsynet og så de lokale nyheder.
Posselt (PPE). - (DE) Mr President, I represent Munich in this Parliament and therefore one of the media centres in Europe.
Præsidentens aktiviteter fra han havde spist mor genmad, til han træt gik i seng om aftenen, optog syv af de otte indslag i nyhederne.
But despite that I am very worried about media pluralism within the European Union.
Det sidste indslag var en kort omtale af, at der havde været en lille eksplosion i Tjernobyl. Derudover vidste landets befolkning ikke
Yes of course we must protect ourselves against private monopolies, although I must say that I feel there is too much opinion and too little fact in our speeches and resolutions, just as increasingly we see facts being pushed aside in journalism to make more space for
Banotti noget om andet end denne ene mand, der havde magten i deres land.
Posselt opinion.
Som demokrat tænkte jeg naturligvis, at dette aldrig kunne finde sted i Europa, men nu spørger jeg mig selv, om det ikke kunne?
But monopolies are dangerous in the news sector.
Vi må virkelig stille os selv det spørgsmål, og det er, hvad vi gør i dag.
I should like to draw particular attention to the concentration process in news agencies.
Parlament sågar har sin egen gmppe.
But I believe that the essential problem is one of political will.
Såfremt Kommissionen har til hensigt at foranstalte flere høringer, ville det efter vor mening ikke være dårligt, hvis den frem for alt lod sig inspirere af uafhængige sagkyndige og institut ter.
I would like to tell the Commissioner that the European Parliament, or a very great majority of it, is behind him and behind the Commissioners who, within the Commission, really do want to make progress in this area, real progress, because time is pressing. We have no time to lose - we have lost enough already.
Kort sagt går vi utvetydigt ind for et direktiv, men det skal være et direktiv, der ikke udfærdiges ud fra økonomiske, men ud fra kulturelle bekymringer.
The worst monopoly was and still is the state. Five years after the collapse of communism in central and eastern Europe we have come to realise that here in the west as well.
Posselt (PPE). - (DE) Hr. formand, jeg repræsenterer München her og dermed en af Europas mediemetropoler.
Cassidy (PPE). - Mr President, firstly, I must do something that is rather unusual in this House: I must declare an interest.
Alligevel er jeg meget bekymret for mediepluralismen i Den Europæiske Union.
I have spent a lot of my working life in the media and I still have media interests.
Hvordan nyheden i journalismen i det hele taget bliver trængt mere og mere ud i periferien, og kun meningen ses. Monopolerne på nyhedsområdet er også farlige.
I have followed this debate with some concern because it is perfectly apparent that the Members on that side of the House when talking about 'pluralism' mean 'more concentration', and preferably more concentration in the hands of Member State governments.
Jeg vil især henlede Deres opmærksomhed på koncentrationsprocessen hos nyhedsbureauerne. bureauerne.
Indeed, as Mr Posselt has pointed out, government monopolies are even worse than private monopolies.
Jeg har været medlem af dette Parlament i ti år, og vi har ført endeløse diskussioner om det emne, vi drøfter her i aften.
I think that the Prime Minister of Bavaria, Mr Stoiber, for example, has made the right choice in proposing to dissolve one of the big central German companies, namely ARD, and letting the companies of the individual states compete freely with each other and approach private groups.
Parlamentet har i to år anmodet om handling i spørgsmålet om mediekoncentration.
This is part and parcel of subsidiarity, about which we hear so much here.
Jeg erkender, at markedets realiteter har ændret sig i den tid.
We should take subsidiarity seriously.
En regulering af medieselskaberne er stadig påkrævet, men de europæiske medieselskaber skal have frihed til at konkurrere aggressivt med de amerikanske og japanske giganter.
We need a Community initiative, and as Mrs Larive quite rightly said, in the form of a framework directive which does not create a centralism of the Commission as a replacement for the centralism of certain monopolies.
Jeg må anmode mine kolleger indtrængende om at huske, at dette er en industri med et kolossalt vækst- og beskæftigelsespotentiale for alle vore borgere, og det potentiale må vi ikke kvæle.
The media sector is not first and foremost economic, it is cultural and political, and so we do not need any centralistic directives and proposals but real practical subsidiarity.
Vi ønsker imidlertid pluralisme, vi ønsker udbud, vi ønsker at høre de utilpassede, afvigende holdninger.
But it is a single market matter. In spite of colleagues over there saying that it is nothing to do with the single market, it is.
Kommissæren fortalte os i sidste uge, at han aldrig har været tilhænger af et direktiv.
Indeed, it is in the media where we have not only a two-speed Europe but a multi-speed Europe, and it is a field where the United Kingdom, and one or two other countries, are in the fast lane. And what is the result of that?
Jeg har imidlertid set Kommissionens tidlige udkast til meddelelse om emnet, hvor Kommissionen helt klart går ind for behovet foret direktiv om medieejerskab på EU-plan.
It is that the media industry in the United Kingdom in certain sectors is world-beating, as well as generating a positive balance of payments for both television programmes and films.
Hvad i alverden er der sket, som har fået Dem til at ændre holdning?
In other words, liberal ization pays off better than restriction.
Vi bør også se følgende: Der er ikke kun de private monopoler.
In the cultural sphere I would draw attention particularly to the minority languages of Europe.
Den værste monopolindehaver er stadigvæk staten.
To call this uniform language English would be to insult Shakespeare.
Det burde også være klart her i vesten fem år efter kommunismens fald i Mellem- og Østeuropa. Når jeg ser visse tekster, f.eks fra hr. Cohn-Bendit, som så at sige forkætrer de private industrielle, men som forsøger at undtage staten fra monopolspørgsmålet, så vil jeg gerne sige helt klart: Det må vi kæmpe imod!
We have re-constituted the intergroup working party on minority languages and protecting these minority languages is also a task of a decentralised media landscape.
Af alle europæiske institutioner indser Parlamentet de politiske realiteter.
May I remind you that Parliament has twice defined its position on this matter in very clear and explicit terms, in 1992 and 1994.
Vi ved, hvor forsigtig Kommissionen skal være, når den har at gøre med situationen i Italien. Vi ved, hvor vanskeligt det ville være at behandle de store mediekoncerner som Kirch og Springer i Tyskland og News International i Det Forenede Kongerige.
As paragraph 5 of the joint motion for a resolution says, there is a need to harmonize national legislation.
Men mit budskab til kommissæren er, at han enten må tage stilling til problemet, hvis et sådant eksisterer, og skride til handling, eller blot erklære, at han intet vil foretage sig. Han bør ikke vige uden om emnet ved at erklære, der skal flere høringer til.
But there is no reciprocity. A British television company can be taken over by a German or a French television company but that is not allowed in the opposite direction.
Dette skader blot Kommissionens og generelt de europæiske institutioners image.
Certainly, some countries in the European Community limit access to cable systems.
Når vi går ind for et direktiv, er det ikke bare et direktiv, der tager sit udgangspunkt i et økonomisk koncept.
Then came the second European Parliament resolution in 1994.
Hr. kommissær, De har ret i, at vi ikke har ret meget tid at miste; for man bliver bange, når man hører disse agtværdige damer og herrer tale om forfalskning af avisoverskrifter.
Since then - and this is directed partly at the numerous Members who have spoken today -1 think that ideas and principles have been clear enough, and that there is nothing socialistic or interventionalist about them.
Denne fremgangsmåde opfylder principperne om subsidaritet, som der er talt så meget om her.
We have heard too about the independence ofjournalists.
Vi bør tage subsidaritetsspørgsmålet alvorligt.
Well we have a way of dealing with that in the United Kingdom.
Vi har, som foreslået af fru Larive, brug for et fælles initiativ i form af et rammedirektiv, som netop ikke erstatter centralismen i forbindelse med visse monopoler med centralismen i forbindelse med Kommissionen.
There is a little rhyme which summarizes it, and I apologize to the interpreters because they will not be able to translate it: 'You cannot hope to bribe or twist the sturdy British journalist.
Lad os gå lige til sagen.
Where does that get us?
Et direktiv, der blot ændrer på markedsforholdene, men ikke omfatter en sikker garanti for pluralismen, er netop det direktiv, disse herrer og damer sidder og venter på.
I understand the Commissioner. I know that the lobby of major entrepreneurs in the media industry, which opposes any form of regulation, is extremely powerful.
Vi skal her passe på ikke at tage fejl af, hvem fjenden er, også inden for Kommissionen; og endnu mindre af, hvem vennerne er inden for Parlamentet.
I understand that an attempt is being made to come up with a new form of text.
Vi må jo ikke glemme, at mediegiganternes lobby om kort tid givetvis også får en fod inden for i Kommissionen; det er en lobby, som i dette
Until now, I thought the Commission never had any difficulty in coming up with a text.
På det kulturelle område vil jeg gerne frem for alt henlede Deres opmærksomhed på mindretallenes sprog i Europa.
d'Ancona (PSE). - (NL) Mr President, Mr Cassidy is very good at reciting, but rather poor at listening, because I have to say that it is extremely sad when he describes the interesting debate this afternoon in such prejudiced terms.
Fayot (PSE). - (FR) Hr. formand, det er ikke nødvendigt at opfinde verden igen efter hvert nyvalg af Europa-Parlamentet.
Barzanti (PSE). - (IT) Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, the tardiness of the Commission in acting on the problem that we are discussing cannot be further tolerated.
Jeg vil gerne erindre om, at dette har taget stilling i dette spørgsmål på en meget klar og utvetydig måde to gange tidligere i 1992 og 1994.
Truth to tell, the Commissioner has himself this evening announced to us that the European Union's executive body has finally decided to take an initiative: we take note of that because it is, certainly, a positive statement.
Som der står i afsnit 5 i det fælles beslutningsforslag, er der brug for at harmonisere de nationale lovgivninger.
of the media as the most important vehicle that we have for informing people, for culturally educating them and providing them with entertainment.
Visse lande i De Europæiske Fællesskaber begrænser adgangen til kabelsystemerne.
It is also a place, a forum in which minorities can make their voices heard.
Kommissionen fremlagde sin grønbog med bemærkelsesværdig hurtighed, vil jeg gerne understrege.
All this is being defended here this afternoon, and that is a great deal more than Mr Cassidy appears to have heard.
En omfattende høring blev gennemført inden for sektoren.
In fact, we are engaged in discussing the role of the media as a key element of the functioning of our democracy.
Fra da af, og jeg siger også dette med adresse til de mange kolleger, der har taget ordet i dag, mener jeg, at ideer og principper har været næsten klare, og at de hverken er socialistiske eller planøkonomiske.
It is understandable that there is some degree of impatience here, because we are so deeply concerned to safeguard the role of the media from the horizontal and vertical concentration which is taking place every day.
For når man ser, hvad de gør uden bestikkelse, er der faktisk ingen grund til det.«
It also needs to be defended because of the cultural factors that are involved.
Jeg kan konstatere, at man søger mod en ny slags tekst. Hidtil har det forekommet mig, at Kommissionen aldrig har haft svært ved at finde en tekst.
What is needed therefore is a directive to attain vital objectives, to counter the formation of dominant positions, bearing in mind that even the pre-eminence of one country has immediate repercussions at a European level.
D'Ancona (PSE). - (NL) Hr. formand, hr. Cassidy er vældig god til at deklamere, men yderst dårlig til at høre efter - for jeg må lige have lov at sige, at det er særdeles trist, at han her karakteriserer eftermiddagens interessante forhandling på en så forudindtaget måde.
Whitehead (PSE). - Mr President, I too declare an interest as someone who has worked for a third of a century in the broadcast media.
Det, vi taler om, er faktisk vigtigt. Det drejer sig om pluralisme, om adgang til medierne.
In that time I have seen access to my industry become more difficult rather than easier because of the power of media conglomerates, because of the systematic destruction of the public interest element in broadcasting and the press in the UK presided over by the government which Mr Donnelly supports.
Det drejer sig om mediernes rolle som den vigtigste formidler, vi har, med henblik på at informere mennesker, at opdrage dem i kulturel henseende, at more dem.
I have seen that process go on and I come now to the European Parliament wondering what the Commission is going to do on the international scale about this phenomenon.
Det er også et sted, et forum, hvor minoriteter kan få ordet.
And I hear the answer provided by the now absent benchers of Forza Europa.
Alt dette forsvares her i efter middag, og det er en hel del mere, end hvad hr. Cassidy åbenbart har hørt her.
The answer is to have even larger versions of what we are seeing there.
Faktisk er vi i færd med at snakke om mediernes rolle som grundlæggende element i den måde, vort demokrati fungerer på.
The new hero of broadcasting is Silvio Piccolo, the little man who is taking on the Americans.
Det er det, det drejer sig om.
I do not believe that for one moment.
Cassidy (PPE). - (EN) Hr. formand, først må jeg gøre noget, der er ret usædvanligt i denne forsamling: jeg må erklære mig som part i sagen.
Kokkola (PSE). - (EL) Mr President, Mr Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, though we have until recently described the present century as revolutionary because of the speed at which changes take place, the past few years have shown that even that description is not enough.
Som hr. Posselt understregede, er regeringsmonopoler endnu værre end private monopoler.
What are you offering in terms of action on vertical integration?
Jeg vil sige Dem, hr. formand - og det er min sidste bemærkning - at jeg er helt enig med dem, der siger, at medierne, om det nu er aviserne eller de audiovisuelle medier, ikke kun skal betragtes som et tool på det indre marked.
What are you doing about a proprietor who can dominate the means of delivery of satellite systems, who controls systems of encryption, who stockpiles sufficient pro grammes to make new production by new entrants to the market uncompetitive?
Vi burde også kunne finde ud af, om den kulturelle paragraf i Maastricht-Traktaten ikke skulle kunne være en åbning, et middel til at udarbejde det direktiv, som vi øjensynlig ønsker.
What are you doing about those who deny access to broadcasters to their transponders because those broadcasters may be criticizing the govern ments with whom the owner wishes to ingratiate himself?
Jeg er ikke enig med dem, som tænker og tror, at et sådant sårbart produkt kan overlades til markedsmekanismerne i det indre marked alene. Det burde også forsvares ud fra kulturelle udgang spunkter.
What are you doing above all about those who, like our dominant proprietor in the United Kingdom, say that monopoly is a bad thing until you have it for yourself?
På trods af at kollegerne derovre siger, at det intet har at gøre med det indre marked, så er det tilfældet.
It seems to me, Commissioner, that we want answers and not another round of consultations.
Og hvad er så resultatet af det?
The worst political principle in my opinion is the principle of unripe time.
Whitehead (PSE). - (EN) Hr. formand, jeg må også indrømme mine interesser som en af dem, der har arbejdet i en tredjedel af et århundrede inden for radio mediet.
I do not know to what degree the broad mass of Europe's citizens have become aware of the magnitude of the change that the dimensions, the depth and breadth of information technology hold in store for the present and future.
I den tid har jeg set adgangen til min industri blive vanskeligere på grund af den magt, mediesammenslutningerne har, og på grund af den systematiske ned brydning af offentlighedens interesser i radio og presse, som regeringen har stået for, som hr. Donnelly støtter.
At any rate, we, who represent Europe's peoples, are duty bound to draw attention to the problem and to try and solve it before it is too late.
Jeg har set den proces fortsætte, og jeg sidder nu i Europa-Parlamentet og undrer mig over, hvad Kommissionen vil gøre internationalt ved dette fænomen.
Information, and consequently information technology, have always been the target of insidious attacks.
Og jeg hører svaret fra de nu fraværende repræsentanter for Forza Europa. Svaret er, at vi skal have endnu større
The revolution taking place in that sector in recent years will go to the heart of our political, cultural and social system.
Jeg ønsker at rette en kommentar til kommissæren: hvis Kommissionen i sidste ende fremsætter et forslag, håber jeg, at forslaget vil gå mere i retning af en liberalisering end i retning af den type restriktioner, som man har anmodet om i den side af Parlamentet.
Only those who have access to information technology will be able to survive the growing competition in all its many forms.
Det tror jeg ikke et øjeblik på. Det logiske er at give Berlusconi ikke blot et, men to, tre eller fire lande, hvilket vil give amerikanerne en langt mere effektiv konkurrent!
Consequently, the mass media that constitute the channels through which the broad, but also the specialized public receive information, cannot be allowed to embody any kind of filters that would restrict, silence or reproduce information at will.
Kokkola (PSE). - (EL) Hr. formand, hr. kommissær, kære kolleger, vi har hidtil beskrevet dette århundrede som revolutionært på grund af den hastighed, hvormed forandringerne sker; men de sidste år har vi måttet konstatere, at denne karakteristik ikke længere holder.
fragmented in regard to the media because of national rules - directly linked to safeguarding pluralism - which make difficult, if not impossible, the movement of capital, the free movement of services, the freedom of establishment etc. Ought we or we not construct a competitive European media industry?
