Division 1.2.3 Television broadcastingX1

United Kingdom

Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

Encourage independent producers to produce works (fiction, documentaries and animated films) involving no less than two broadcasters, and preferably more, in several States participating or cooperating on the programme, belonging to different language zones.

The criteria for selecting beneficiaries may include provisions that distinguish between projects by budget category and type. Special attention will be given to audiovisual works that contribute to the enhancement of European heritage and linguistic and cultural diversity.

That part of the support which is intended to finance the linguistic diversity of works (including production of the sound track - music and effects) will take the form of a subsidy.
