Description
A consultation on how the UK should implement the EU Audiovisual Media Services Directive which updates EU minimum standards on scheduled television services. The Directive includes both compulsory and optional elements, some of which are expected to lead to new legislation. The consultation focuses on the Government’s proposals on three specific issues in the Directive: product placement in television and video-on-demand services; introducing a system for regulating video-on-demand services in the UK; controls over the content of non-EU satellite channels which are uplinked from a ground station in the UK. The consultation runs for three months and closes on 31/10/2008.
