# Council Decision of 20 December 2000 on the implementation of a programme to encourage the development, distribution and promotion of European audiovisual works (MEDIA Plus — Development, Distribution and Promotion) (2001-2005) (2000/821/EC), Division 1.3.1: In the field of promotion and access to professional markets

Extent: E+W+S+N.I.

The programme measures aim to:
(a) improve the conditions governing access by professionals to trade shows and professional audiovisual markets within and outside Europe and via specific technical and financial support schemes as part of events such as:
the main European and international cinema markets;
the main European and international television markets;
special-interest markets, particularly for animated films, documentaries, multimedia and new technologies;
(b) encourage the creation of a database and/or a network of databases on catalogues of European programmes, intended for professionals;
(c) whenever possible, encourage support to promote cinematographic works, as from the production phase of the work in question.
To this end, the Commission is encouraging the networking of operators at European level, notably by supporting joint initiatives involving public or private national promotional bodies.
Support will generally be limited to 50 % of project costs but may be raised to 60 % for projects that enhance European linguistic and cultural diversity.
