Audiovisual
The Community's audiovisual policy must respect various - sometimes contradictory - interests and priorities, such as competition rules (especially regarding State aid), the rules on intellectual property and the principles of public service. The European audiovisual market is also facing a number of problems, including:
•the language barriers preventing free movement of programmes;
•an unwieldy decision-making process which generally requires unanimity;
•the need to make considerable investment to anticipate technological developments, which requires international alliances and/or mergers.
The Community's activity in the audiovisual field has developed in two broad directions:
•on the industrial front, a directive was adopted in 1986 to ensure the standardisation of the systems used in the Member States to broadcast programmes by satellite and cable. In 1989, objectives were defined for the development of high-definition television. Then, in 1991, a single standard for high-definition television production and financial support for a programme of cooperation between the businesses concerned were introduced. An action plan to promote the 16/9 format was adopted in 1993;
•on the legal front, the Television without Frontiers Directive, adopted in 1989 and amended in 1997, provided a harmonised framework to promote the free movement, production and distribution of European television programmes. Common rules on advertising, sponsorship, protection of minors and the right of reply were introduced. The Directive also introduced distribution quotas, thus requiring TV channels to reserve, whenever possible, more than half their transmission time for European works.
Furthermore, since 1991, the Community MEDIA programme (measures to promote the development of the audiovisual industry) has been supporting the European audiovisual industry by encouraging the development and distribution of European works. It also finances schemes to improve the training of professionals in the sector.
The MEDIA Plus Programme (2000-2005), which follows on from MEDIA II (1996-2000), has a budget of EUR 4 million.
The Treaty of Amsterdam, adopted in June 1997, added a protocol on the public broadcasting system to the EC Treaty. The role of the Member States as regards public channels is made clear: they may continue to finance public service broadcasting, as long as the broadcasting organisation fulfils a public service remit and its funding does not unfairly affect either trade or competition in the sector.

Audio-visual
The term audio-visual may refer to works with both a sound and a visual component, the production or use of such works, or the equipment involved in presenting such works. Movies and television shows are examples of audiovisual presentations.
Business presentations are also usually audio-visual. In a typical presentation, the presenter provides the audio by speaking, and supplements it with a series of images projected onto a screen, either from a slide projector, or from a computer connected to a digital projector using software such as PowerPoint.
