Proposal for a DECISION OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL
establishing an audiovisual cooperation programme with professionals from third
countries MEDIA Mundus
SUMMARY of the Impact Assessment report
The European Commission adopted a new MEDIA Mundus programme, a broad
international cooperation programme for the audiovisual industry to strengthen
cultural and commercial relations between Europe's film industry and film-makers
of third countries. Pending adoption of the MEDIA Mundus programme by Council
and European Parliament the EU would provide €15 million of funding from
2011-2013 for projects submitted by audiovisual professionals from Europe and third
countries. Cooperation with the European film industry is in strong demand
around the globe as shown by the initial success of the MEDIA International
Preparatory Action under which the EU provided € 2 million of funding for 18
projects involving international partners.
The new MEDIA Mundus programme would run from 2011-2013 and will capitalise on
this growing interest and the opportunities offered by global cooperation of the
audiovisual industry. It will increase consumer choice by bringing more
culturally diverse products to European and international markets and will
create new business opportunities for audiovisual professionals from Europe and
around the globe.
