[ecrea] European Media Policy 2-2010

Tue Oct 12 08:30:46 GMT 2010



Welcome to European Media
Policy, a newsletter from NORDICOM providing 
an up-date on policy developments at the European level.

The No. 2, 2010 issue of European Media Policy provides a summary and 
analysis of some of the main topics discussed recently:

- After months of heated debate, the EU Parliament has finally adopted 
the controversial Gallo report on enforcement of intellectual property 
rights.

- There has been increasing pressure on Internet service providers to 
police the data they transfer. Now the EU Commission has launched a 
consultation on the liability of such "intermediaries" and
related issues.

- Concern about online, so-called behavioural advertising has been 
voiced in several EU institutions as well as by data protection 
authorities and consumer groups,

- Intimidation of journalists and abuse of the protection of sources is 
increasing in Europe and in several countries new laws restricting press 
freedom are being introduced. This worries lawmakers and many others.
