Commission seeks public input on online content
The European Commission has asked the public for input on ways to stimulate the growth of online digital content such as films, music and games.
The Commission hopes that a public consultation will help spur on a Europe-wide initiative to expanding online digital content delivery in the EU. Says Viviane Reding, commissioner of the Information Society and Media, 'I expect input to today's consultation to identify clearly any remaining obstacles to a competitive, pan-European online content industry which the EU needs to tackle. Only a cross-border market for online content, in which authors, artists and creators are able to reap a fair reward for their talent and skills, will enable Europe's content sector to compete with other continents.'
The input gathered from the public consultation will be used for drafting a Commission Communication on Content Online, which is expected to be adopted by the end of the year. The deadline for input is 13 October 2006.
