What they argued

Digital Networks Actfiled 10 Jul 2025PDFsource

Public service broadcasting plays a central role in democracy, diversity of opinion and social cohesion. Access to the content of public service broadcasting must therefore be ensured by all means of distribution, in particular by means of electronic communications networks and services. These have a useful function for the media and are not an end in themselves. This must be taken into account in the DNA.

Is this your organization?

Everything on this page comes from ARD’s own submissions to the European Commission — we have added nothing and interpreted nothing. If something is wrong or out of date, email info@policyspeak.com and we will correct it. If you are an individual named in a record, our privacy policy sets out your rights to correction, objection and removal.

Quotes are verbatim from submissions published by the European Commission, trimmed to their opening passage and never summarized by a model. Organizations only, never individuals. Reused under Commission Decision 2011/833/EU; the European Commission is not liable for this reuse.
