Abstract

Broadcasting grew up in Europe as a national instrument. But as the result of new emerging communications technologies, particularly cable and satellites, national boundaries and national regulations are becoming irrelevant. Even national autarchies created by language differences are breaking down. Under these conditions the EEC is addressing the question of what measures, if any, it should and can take to develop a useful and viable European broadcasting policy. This article discusses the 1984 Green Paper and more recent documents, identifies the problems confronted by the EEC member states in the field of broadcasting, and speculates on the chances of success of current efforts to cope with the new technological and programming challenges.
