(38) This Directive is without prejudice to the ability of Member States to impose obligations to ensure non-discriminatory discoverability and accessibility of content of general interest under defined general interest objectives such as media pluralism, freedom of speech and cultural diversity. Such obligations should only be imposed where they are necessary to meet general interest objectives clearly defined by Member States in conformity with Union law.
