"Given not only the specific nature of the audiovisual sector but also the fragmentation of the European online market, a uniform approach must be adopted to a number of issues at EU level. Using content online can provide a real opportunity to broadcast and distribute European works more widely, provided that the audiovisual works are supplied legally, respecting copyright. If we take a look at the European figures available, one interesting point which can be noticed is that the cultural and creative industries we are referring to contribute up to 2.5% to GDP, which is similar to the figure for the car industry. This makes it all the more necessary to organise public information campaigns about the importance of copyright, together with programmes for promoting digital and media skills for all EU citizens, including people with disabilities.
I am also in favour of facilitating online payment methods for audiovisual works, as well as of reviewing the costs involved, to make them affordable to the public, as a preferable option to piracy. I also stress how important it is to adapt European legislation to the reality of the Internet and the digital era, with one of the biggest challenges still being how to prevent access to platforms offering illegal content."@en1
