Abstract

In December 1992, the European Commission published its Green Paper “Pluralism and Media Concentration in the Internal Market: an assessment of the need for Community action” (COM (92) 480 final). This was the outcome of several requests on behalf of the European Parliament and some of the interests concerned. The purpose of the Green Paper was to assess the need for action at Community level in the light of the disparities between national rules on media ownership and consider potential options. By adopting the Green Paper, the Commission sought to provide a basis for discussion and receive opinions of all interested parties — the European Parliament, competent national authorities, European organisations representing television and radio broadcasters, publishers, journalists, audio-visual creative artists and producers, satellite and cable distributors and advertisers. At the same time, it sought to stress the importance which it attaches to preserving pluralism in the frontier-free area (i.e. the Internal Market). In the Commission's view, the freedoms of the Internal Market cannot be put into practice at the expense of pluralism; instead, their implementation must help to strengthen that market through the opportunities which it gives both to citizens and the media. This paper sets out to examine the European Union policy on media concentrations prior to and after the publication of the 1992 Green Paper. It is divided into five parts. Focused working definitions of the terms pluralism and diversity are firstly provided. An historical background of the European media pluralism and competition/concentration policies is then presented, followed by an outline of the main points of the Commission's Green Paper. The interested parties' reaction PETROS IOSIFIDES

欧盟的多元化与媒体集中政策
1992年12月,欧洲委员会发表了其绿皮书“内部市场的多元化和媒体集中:对共同体行动需要的评估”(COM (92) 480 final)。这是代表欧洲议会和一些有关利益集团提出的几项要求的结果。绿皮书的目的是根据各国关于媒体所有权的规则之间的差异,评估在社区一级采取行动的必要性,并审议可能的选择。采用绿皮书,委员会试图提供一个进行讨论的基础和接收感兴趣的各方意见—欧洲议会,国家主管部门、欧洲组织代表电视和电台广播,出版商、记者、视听创意艺术家和生产者,卫星和有线电视分销商和广告商。与此同时,它试图强调它对维护无边界地区(即内部市场)的多元化的重视。委员会认为,实行内部市场的自由不能以牺牲多元化为代价;相反,它们的执行必须通过给公民和媒体提供机会来帮助加强这个市场。本文着手审查1992年《绿皮书》出版前后欧洲联盟关于媒体集中的政策。它分为五个部分。首先给出了“多元主义”和“多样性”这两个术语的具体定义。然后介绍了欧洲媒体多元化和竞争/集中政策的历史背景,然后概述了委员会绿皮书的要点。利益相关方的反应是PETROS IOSIFIDES
