EU Media and Audiovisual Policy

The audiovisual sector directly employs over one million people in the EU. It also plays a key social and cultural role - TV remains the foremost source of information and entertainment in Europe, with most homes having a television and the average European watching up to 4 hours a day.

Audiovisual content is also increasingly accessed through on demand services.
