Mr President, as you are aware, the ‘Television without frontiers’ directive lays down the legal framework for television broadcasting in the European Union. This directive contains provisions on the protection of minors, in particular Article 16, which lays down a number of rules with regard to advertising and minors.
The Commission undertook to carry out a study on the impact of television advertising and teleshopping on minors; this study was conducted by an independent advisor and has been published on the Commission website.
Moreover, the Commission will supplement its assessment of the chapter on advertising within the framework of its re-examination of the 2002 directive. As Mr Papayannakis is doubtless aware, the consultation of professionals with regard to the revision of this directive began in 2001. Their conclusions will be published at the beginning of 2002, after which the political discussion will commence.
We have also begun three studies, one of which will specifically examine the development of new advertising techniques. If we intend to revise the directive, we should look to the future, and not restrict ourselves to analysing the past or the present. Therefore, as you can see, Mr President, the Commission is approaching this issue with a completely open mind, taking extensive advice, and only after listening, analysing and discussing the issue with Parliament, of course, as well as others, will the Commission submit any proposals with a view to revising the directive."@en1
