The European Media Freedom Act (EMFA) introduces a new set of rules to promote media pluralism and independence across the EU, and amends the Audiovisual Media Services Directive. The aim is to prevent political interference in editorial decisions and ensure transparency of media ownership. The act seeks to protect journalists from having to disclose their sources and from the use of spyware against them. This news item shows the statement by Sabine VERHEYEN (EPP, DE), Rapporteur, extracts from the debate and from the vote.

Rättsstatsprincipen är en hörnsten i demokrati och ett av EU:s grundläggande värden. Parlamentsledamöterna har konsekvent varnat för att demokratin är hotad i vissa medlemsländer, där korruption och komprometterade rättssystem kan leda till missbruk av EU-medel. Europaparlamentet har skapat ett verktyg för att skydda EU:s pengar och värden. Rättsstatsprincipens villkorlighetsmekanism låter EU ställa in betalningar som bryter mot demokratiska normer och grundläggande rättigheter. Ta reda på mer i vår korta förklarande video.

Roberta METSOLA, President of the European Parliament, and Tiemo WÖLKEN (S&D, DE), rapporteur on EU protection from strategic lawsuits against public participation (SLAPPs), hold a press conference on the draft directive on rules to protect journalists, activists, academics, artists and researchers against legal actions aimed at silencing them.

Press conference by Roberta METSOLA, EP President, and by Tiemo WÖLKEN (S&D, DE), rapporteur on EU protection from strategic lawsuits against public participation (SLAPPs)

MEPs debate on their position on rules to protect journalists, activists, academics, artists and researchers against legal actions aimed at silencing them. The draft directive provides minimum standards of protection from lawsuits against public participation (SLAPP) in the EU through early dismissal of these cases, obliging the claimant to cover the costs of proceedings and not recognising third country judgements. The rules should apply in cross-border cases when the claimant and defendant are not based in the same country as the court or when the case is relevant to more than one member state and the disputed work can be accessed electronically. MEPs are also set to call on member states to ensure that SLAPP victims get legal, financial and psychological assistance. Extracts from the debate (10/07) and from the vote, statement by Tiemo WÖLKEN (S&D, DE), Rapporteur.

Tänk om din telefon skulle förvandlas till en spionapparat som ger illvilliga aktörer tillgång till din plats, foton, kontakter, kamera och mikrofon. Detta är exakt vad spionprogram som Pegasus och Predator har gjort med vissa journalisters, oppositionspolitikers och civila aktivisters telefoner. Förutom att det är olagligt är denna praxis farlig för demokrati och mänskliga rättigheter. Ledamöterna i Europaparlamentet vill fastställa grundregler för när och hur sådana spionprogram bör användas. Dina frågor om farorna med spionprogram, besvarade av parlamentsledamoten Sophie in ‘t Veld.

Parlamentet vill få ett slut på den olagliga användningen av spionprogram

MEPs adopt recommendations based on the inquiry into illicit use of Pegasus and other spyware and its impact on democracy, civil society and the media. In a debate on Wednesday and recommendations put to the vote on Thursday, Parliament will present its proposals for tackling spyware abuse in Europe. In its final report adopted in May, the Committee of Inquiry investigating Pegasus and other spyware raised concerns about the impact of spyware abuse on democracy, civil society and the media in several EU member states. Extracts from the debate and from the vote.
