Audiovisual Media Services Directive (AVMSD)

The Audiovisual Media Services Directive covers all EU audiovisual media services (including on-demand services) in the digital age. It amends and renames the Television without Frontiers Directive, providing less detailed but more flexible regulation. And it modernises TV advertising rules to better finance audiovisual content. The directive had to be transposed into national law by the 19th December 2009.
