The honourable Member has raised a number of questions regarding the funding of television channels and of independent production companies by the Media Programme. I would like to underline that the Media Plus Programme does not include television channels as direct beneficiaries under any of its schemes.
In the television sector, independent production companies, which are often SMEs, are supported in the production of audio-visual work for television. The aim is to encourage these companies to produce works – any works: fiction, documentaries, animated films – involving no fewer than two broadcasters, preferably more. So it is really the European added value which is at stake. They also have to belong to different language zones, so it is multilingualism which is at stake – a question that was raised before.
The Media programmes recognise the precarious existence of independent production companies in a fragmented European market, companies whose economic livelihood often depends on a single project; and a number of the mechanisms therefore target these important creative activities.
The television distribution funding mechanism was one of the Media Plus Programme actions which was examined in the mid-term evaluation which took place last year. This evaluation confirmed the key role played by the various actions for independent producers, as well as that of measures such as eye-to-eye audio-visual and the development action encompassing new talent, single projects and State funding.
Finally, the second interim evaluation, as requested by the European Parliament in the context of the prolongation of the Media programmes, will be launched very shortly, and will be submitted to Parliament."@en1
