Paragraph 6 a (new)
6 a. Following the adoption of the Geo- blocking Regulation (EU) 2018/302, notes the Commission’s first short-term review of the Geo-blocking Regulation, which shows, in particular, that the demand for cross-border access to audio-visual services is increasing; calls on the Commission to continue to actively monitor and remove – with a pro- consumer approach allowing consumers to shop seamlessly across the EU – unjustified geo-blocking and other persistent restrictions on cross-border online sales; welcomes in this context the Commission’s decision to launch a stakeholder dialogue on improving the access to and availability of audiovisual content across Member States and hopes that it will produce tangible results for EU citizens; calls on the Commission to consider proposing appropriate legislative measures in case these results are not delivered by the end of 2022;
