Parliament adopted a resolution on the Audiovisual Media Services Directive in the transatlantic dialogue, calling on the Council and member states to support the Commission in defending the directive and the EU's cultural exception in trade negotiations.
The resolution stresses that the directive's measures are legitimate regulation in the public interest, safeguarding cultural diversity and protecting freedom of expression, media pluralism and democratic values.
It urges the Commission to reject any attempt to consider the directive a trade distortion and to defend it as essential for protecting the EU's cultural diversity, sovereignty and soft power.
