Publication synopsis Ninth Communication on the application of Articles 4 and 5 of Directive 89/552/EEC, as amended by Directive 97/36/EC and Directive 2007/65/EC for the period 2007-2008 (Promotion of European and independent audiovisual works). In the reference period (2007-2008), the reports provided by the Member States show a stabilization of the proportion of European works broadcast (over 63% of transmission time) and a slight decrease in European works created by independent producers, although these still represent more than a third of transmission time (34.9% in 2008). Within the total volume of European works by independent producers, the proportion of recent works (broadcast within 5 years of their production) remained at a high level (63% in 2007 and 63.9% in 2008). These figures demonstrate the underlying soundness of the EU audiovisual industry and testify to the continuing commitment of Member States, old and new, to cultural diversity.
