Audiovisual: programme to develop the European industry MEDIA 1991-1995

On the basis of the report drafted by Mr HOPPENSTEDT (PPE, D), the Committee on Culture stated that it supported the Commission communication and the proposal for a Council decision amending Decision 90/685/EEC of 21 December 1990 regulating the implementation of the programme up to the end of 1995. However, the ministers have already agreed in principle to continue the programme after 1995. The contracting states to the European Economic Area are also taking part in the MEDIA programme, as are Hungary and Poland, which have agreed to make a contribution towards the costs.�
