Brussels, 28/09/2005 (Agence Europe) - Last week at a conference in Liverpool on the revision of the “Television without Borders” directive, Private television channels and members of the Association of Private Television in Europe (ACT) appealed for a “more flexible framework to enable it develop in a context of fair competition” (EUROPE 9034). They are counting on the European Commission to help them maintain their level of investment in European programmes and underlined that technological changes provided new opportunities to the world of television and greater benefits to European citizens. British broadcasters highlighted the advantages of digital television, such as the massive choice on offer for consumers. James Murdoch CEO at BSkyB explained that this progress had “sometimes been made with, and sometimes despite but never because of regulation”.
