8.

Amendment 71 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 8 a (new)
Paragraph 8 a (new)
8 a. Considers that there is a need for pre-defining, diversity-securing and specific media law requirements for the use and integration of artificial intelligence (AI), especially when it comes to the generation or distribution of audiovisual content; in this context, AI- supported models must be designed or, where necessary, their use restricted in such a way that they serve an open-ended model of discourse and equal opportunities in the media, and also promote critical-creative impulses and are open to being confronted with the counter-argument to one's own position;
Amendment 75 #

Amendment 80 #
10 a. Calls on the Commission and the Member States, through consistent, coherent implementation and application of this Directive in conjunction with the Digital Services Acts, to minimise the regulatory disparities that exist regarding audiovisual offerings from different providers but which are available on one and the same online platform, while at the same time enforcing high standards with regard to respect for human dignity, ensuring the protection of minors, public order and safety, and a respectful, pluralistic and well-functioning democratic discourse;
Amendment 81 #
Motion for a resolution

Amendment 93 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 12 a (new)
Paragraph 12 a (new)
12 a. Draws the Commission’s attention to its reporting obligation under Article 13(5) of the AVMSD and calls on it, in particular, to examine whether the rule in Article 13(2) could, in certain circumstances, run counter to the country of origin principle, lead to fragmentation of the internal market or possibly discourage market participants from investing in smaller markets, ultimately harming cultural and media diversity, and calls on the Commission to suggest possible solutions where appropriate;
Amendment 104 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 12 b (new)
Paragraph 12 b (new)
12 b. Maintains an open and broad understanding of the concept of 'European audiovisual work' as laid down in the European Convention on Transfrontier Television of the Council of Europe of 5 May 19891a, reiterates the diversity-enhancing effect of such a broad understanding and rejects any attempts, especially those of the Commission, to restrict or narrow it; _________________ 1a https://rm.coe.int/168007b0f0
Amendment 147 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 15 a (new)
Paragraph 15 a (new)
15 a. Calls on the Commission to further investigate the fast-growing offer of audiovisual media services produced by online influencers, with a focus on youth and consumer protection, and to fully enforce the clear and recognisable separation between advertising and own content; the failure to identify commercial communications as such is increasingly becoming a problem in terms of competition and has a negative impact on the protection of minors and consumers;
Amendment 150 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 15 b (new)
Paragraph 15 b (new)
15 b. Notes that in addition to IPTV and OTT TV operators, many platform providers relevant for the distribution of and access to audiovisual media services, radio services and print or audio online services in the EU do not fall within the scope of the Digital Market Act and are therefore not obliged to grant access to data generated in relation to the use of a corresponding media service and may also continue to place their own services or offers before those of third parties; both have a detrimental impact on the European media landscape, harm fair competition in the media and need to be addressed by legislation;
Amendment 153 #
Motion for a resolution

Paragraph 15 c (new)
15 c. Calls on the Member States and the Commission to ensure wherever possible that the identity of the audiovisual media service provider is clearly identifiable by users, including online, by means of a logo or other type of branding;
