Policy Report:
European Union Competencies in Respect of Media Pluralism and Media Freedom
High
Level Group on Media Freedom and Pluralism
（競争法活用）
European and national competition
authorities should take into account the specific value of media pluralism in
the enforcement of competition rules. They should also take into account the
increasing merging of different channels of communication and media access in
the definition of the relevant markets. In addition, the High Level Group calls
upon the European and national competition authorities to monitor with
particular attention, under competition policy, new developments in the online
access to information. The dominant position held by some network access
providers or internet information providers should not be allowed to restrict
media freedom and pluralism. An open and non-discriminatory access to
information by all citizens must be protected in the online sphere, if
necessary by making use of competition law and/or enforcing a principle of
network and net neutrality.
（“メディア”の範囲）
Concentration of ownership needs to be
considered not only with respect to specific media sources (such as press), but
across different media and in relation to distribution channels, whether for
traditional media (for example, newspaper kiosks) or for new media (for
example, broadband connectivity).
Digital intermediaries, such as search
engines, news aggregators, social networks and app stores should be included in
the monitoring of the sector. The increasingly important role they play in
either improving or restricting media pluralism should be considered,
especially as they start producing content. However, care must be taken to
distinguish between media that publish original work directly, and services
that allow users to republish or link to other peoples’ work.
