lpv:translated text	". I am extremely pleased with this report on the Commission communication, which seeks to lay down the principles and guidelines of Community audiovisual policy, in order to adapt it to the digital age. Such adaptation is actually crucial, given recent developments in digital technology. I approve of the idea of stepping up experiments with programme filtering systems and other methods of parental control for the protection of minors. To conclude, I wish to stress that a revision of Directive (89/552/EEC) on ‘Television without Frontier’ is crucial. We must strengthen the provisions on the circulation of European works and on independent production in order to make them more effective. The obligation of public and private television broadcasters to allocate a proportion of their annual net income to investment in production and to the acquisition of European audiovisual programmes, including films, works aimed at minorities and ones made by independent producers, must be included in this piece of legislation. We will only achieve this if we respect the principles governing this field, which are: the protection of pluralism: to achieve this task, I once again stress the fact that, as provided for in the protocol annexed to the Treaty of Amsterdam, public service broadcasting plays a central part in safeguarding pluralism as well as cultural and linguistic diversity. the possibility of targeting intervention to provide strategic support for services of general interest: the public must be guaranteed access to audiovisual services on the basis of criteria such as universality, affordable costs and non-discrimination. the maximum protection for those producing audiovisual works, and hence the possibility of providing better protection for intellectual ownership rights, copyright and related ownership rights: the effectiveness of copyright protection is jeopardised in the digital age. Respect for intellectual property is nevertheless a source of vitality in the audiovisual and cinematographic sector and the proposal for a directive on copyright and associated rights in the information society must therefore be speedily adopted, both to protect created works and to ensure that they are accessible and can circulate freely. the increased protection for users, who will be covered by various safeguards depending on the different services that they use:"@en1
