Middle Tech Europe (MTE) welcomes the opportunity to contribute to this evaluation of the Audiovisual Media Services Directive (AVMSD) and assess its “internal and external coherence” with the broader EU regulatory framework. As acknowledged in the Call for Evidence, the digital regulatory landscape has “evolved significantly” since 2018, particularly with the adoption of the Digital Services Act (DSA).
We strongly support the Commissions objective to “simplify or streamline AVMSD rules” to ensure they remain “fit for purpose”. And while we understand that this review is part of a statutory schedule, we also present our feedback in the context of the Commissions simplification and competitiveness agenda.
