FSE: Joint letter to EU DG Trade on WTO Joint initiative on E-commerce
For your information, please find attached a joint letter signed by FSE, together with other organisations. It deals with the Joint Initiative on E-commerce of WTO (the World Trade Organisation) and the fact that the audiovisual services are not included in the exceptions to the scope of this draft agreement.
"To the best of our knowledge, the European Commission is considering not requesting that audiovisual services be included in the exceptions to the scope of this draft agreement. It considers that the provisions of this draft agreement have no impact on audiovisual services and that this exception could be reassessed at a later date. (...) We therefore think that reversing this position would set a dangerous precedent for the future of the sector and the protection of the cultural diversity."
