". – I agree with Mr Perry that the situation at present is highly unsatisfactory. As far as the broadcasting of television programmes is concerned, the internal market does not exist. The difficulty is that the possibilities for the Commission are restricted. The sad fact remains that the directive I referred to earlier, which was adopted in 1993, does not give the Commission a sufficient legal basis for infringement proceedings which might have been available to the Commission if the legal situation had been different.
Therefore it is not open to the Commission to start the infringement proceedings that I am sure Mr Perry would consider desirable. So all the Commission can do is carry out the study, which is nearing completion and will be submitted to Parliament as soon as it is ready – before the summer recess – so that Parliament can draw its own conclusions.
Mr Perry is completely right in expressing his serious dissatisfaction with the state of affairs. The Commission lacks any legal basis for any infringement proceedings that Members of Parliament might want to undertake. It is an unsatisfactory situation and the Commission is looking into the problem. Its analysis will come before Parliament as soon as possible. At the moment this is all I can say."@en1
