Dear friends Just a short note to let you know that we launched our response to the Commissions Green Paper on Media Convergence in the European Parliament last Tuesday. A number of people from the offices of MEPs were present and were interested in our ideas. On Wednesday a few of us stayed around for the discussion of the European Parliament Committee on Culture, Youth, Education and the Media on the issue. The main report will be taken in the Economic and Monetary Affairs Committee, which will integrate the views of the other committees doing reports on the issue. The EMAC rapporteur (and therefore lead rapporteur) on the issue (Reino Paasilinna, MEP) expressed a willingness to accept an amendment which covers community media, but suggested that it should better come from the Culture, Youth, Eduation and Media Committee (rapporteur Helmut Kuhne, MEP). The following is a draft of an amendment which we suggest submitting to Mr Kuhne, adding a couple of paragraphs. After Point 18 "Considers that an essential component of current and future public service provision is independent, locally accountable community media services such as community radio, open television channels, and Internet-based community information networks. "Calls on the Commission to investigate the impact of convergence on community media services and to consider measures, including financial measures, to support the adaptation of existing services and the development of new services which increase and improve citizens and local communities access to the means of communication." Please give us feed-back on this text as soon as possible (by Thursday afternoon?) in order that we can finalise a proposal and start to discuss it with Mr Kuhne. Friendly Greetings Brian Carty Co-ordinator
