SOME PERSONAL THOUGHTS What I think needs to be put in the right perspective: • • •
•
Local vs. regional vs. global: let us be very careful with a DIGITAL SINGLE MARKET and TTIP´s implications on media
Similar regulation for similar businesses (no matter where they are hosted or whether they are linear or non-linear) – level playing field
Subsidies help and will pay back via a multiplyer effect – Do not forget script development – Do not forget television (e.g. the big problems are start-up costs and pilot financing)
European quotas could be a solution (but the approach with regards to counting of repeats of original programming should be rethought)
