".
As is well known, the European Audiovisual Observatory is based on an Enlarged Partial Agreement of the Council of Europe. At present, 35 States, including all present and future EU Member States, participate in the Observatory. Its aim is to improve the transfer of information within the audiovisual industry, and to promote a clearer view of the market and greater transparency.
The aims of the proposal before us are to extend the Community’s participation in the Observatory for a further two years, until December 2006, and to keep the annual budget at the 2004 budget level of EUR 235 000. This deserves my support.
I also endorse the rapporteur’s proposals: firstly, that, where possible, the European Audiovisual Observatory’s capacities should be strengthened, and, secondly, that the European Audiovisual Observatory should collect and provide expertise and systematic information in the fields of tax and labour laws, copyright and consumer protection law.
Lastly, I should like to highlight the importance of remedying the lack of statistical information and benchmarking as regards services to assist blind and partially-sighted people, and deaf and hard of hearing people in the EU. It is appropriate for the Observatory to take on the role of collecting and publishing this information.
For all of these reasons I voted in favour."@en1
