Ik ben dan ook van mening dat de onderhavige ontwerpresolutie unaniem moet worden aangenomen, en de bevordering van wetgevende en begeleidende maatregelen absoluut prioritair moet zijn voor de democratische toekomst van Europa. Ook wil ik erop wijzen dat de vertraging die sedert de publicatie van het Groenboek is ontstaan bij het nemen van concrete maatregelen, onaanvaardbaar is.
May I, therefore, say that this motion should be adopted unanimously and point out that passing legislative and other support measures is a top priority for the democratic future of Europe, that there has been an unwarranted delay in taking action since the Green Paper was published, that the measures required need to be incorporated into general policy on audiovisual media, that we must accept that the traditional rules of market competition are inadequate and that we need an independent competitive network with its sights set on real pluralism and that, for these purposes, restrictions on concentration are compatible with Community law.Europarl8 Europarl8
