European Parliament One way in which EAVI represents citizens interests is through the provision of specific expertise and reliable information pertaining to the media field to EU officials involved in media policies and legislation, and the decision making process. EAVI also participates in public hearings and monitors policies and activities in the European Parliament, such as meetings of the Culture and Education Committee and the Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs with regard to media issues, such as media pluralism and public service broadcasting, in order to inform EAVI and Civil Society Networks. Furthermore, EAVI also and meets with EU officials to discuss and raise awareness of the results of our research projects. For example, EAVI has recently conducted and published a study on ‘Assessment Criteria for Media Literacy Levels in Europe’ for the European Commission, DG Information Society. In the interests of promoting media literacy for citizens and highlighting the fundamental importance and requisite nature of it in modern society, EAVI has met with several MEPs, to present and analyze the findings of the study and its implications. EAVI aims to expand our activities and participation to contributing to policy implementation in the future. EAVI is particularly interested in the Audiovisual Media Services Directive 2010/13/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 10 March 2010. |

EAVI is also a member of the European Commissions’ Active European Citizens Expert Group. The European Commission, DG Information Society, commissioned the aforementioned EAVI research study ‘Assessment Criteria for Media Literacy Levels in Europe‘, published December 2009, and the follow up study ‘Testing and Refining Criteria to Assess Media Literacy levels in all Member States’ which EAVI is currently working on. EAVI also gives careful consideration to important European Commission documents relevant to the media field, such as ‘A Digital Agenda for Europe‘, and actively participates in public consultations, always with the interests of the citizens as our main concern. |
