Implementing the EU Audiovisual Media Services Directive

Meer over het boek

In light of continuing media convergence, the present volume critically examines the EU's legal framework for audiovisual media services. To this end, it analyses measures taken by the French, German and British national regulatory authorities to implement and apply a certain number of rules set out in the EU Audiovisual Media Services Directive (AVMSD). It focuses in particular on the rules defining the Directive’s scope of application and those protecting minors in an on-demand environment. This book pinpoints the similarities and differences of national regulatory processes, from which it derives best practices, and it takes a clear position in the current debate on the revision of the AVMSD, offering concrete suggestions for the future design of the EU legal framework for audiovisual media services.
