MEDIA PLURALISM (5647/07)
Letter from the Chairman to Shaun Woodward
MP, Minster for Creative Industries and Tourism, Department for
Culture, Media and Sport
Your Explanatory Memorandum on the above Document
was considerd by Sub-Committee G at its meeting of 1 March 2007.
We note the content of the Document and share
the Government's concern about the possible future implications
of the Commission's activity in this area. Nevertheless, we do
believe that the establishment of a set of concrete indicators
could be a useful exercise.
One specific matter that we would like to be
taken into account is the need to ensure that future work in this
area does not inhibit the rights of individual Member States to
restrict access to material that they judge to be undesirable.
We are content to release the Document from
scrutiny and we would be grateful if the Government could inform
us as and when there are futher developments in this policy area.
