« The report focuses on the tools currently being used by the audiovisual media service providers to help parents to protect children from content that may be unsuitable or potentially harmful to their development or overall well-being. By outlining the types of measures with concrete examples from the representative sample of the audiovisual media providers active in various EU member states, it is laying the foundations for further ERGA activities with the aim of fostering cooperation among stakeholders to protect children in the audiovisual media environment. This ERGA initiative is closely linked to its role as advisory body to the EU Commission. It is also led by the need for close cooperation among Europe’s regulators, and between regulators and media providers. This is especially important in the field of child protection. In the near future, new challenges lie ahead for regulators and the media alike. In the current proposal for the revision of the Audiovisual Media Service Directive there are changes proposed to provisions on protection of minors. Under these proposed changes, the rules for protection of minors will be unified for both types of audiovisual media services, linear and non-linear, and there are new rules laid down in this field for a new regulatory category of media-sharing platforms. Whatever will eventually be written into the Directive, it is clear that the international character of the most widely used VOD services and VSPs pose regulatory questions that can hardly be tackled by any one national regulator alone. The technical progress in audiovisual media, furthermore, is so rapid that regulation, even (or especially) in the field of protection of minors, will be particularly challenging.
(…)
It is important to note that the issue of protective measures within the audiovisual media services is just a part of the bigger question of protecting children in the digital environment and it should be viewed in this context.
(…)
This report does not purport to be an overview of all practices aimed at protection of minors by all media providers in all EU member states. Such a task is clearly beyond current ERGA capacities. It does however, as we believe, provide the reader with a substantial view on the current state of protection of minors in audiovisual media services in Europe, namely:
• what are the most widely used measures media companies use in this field
• what is the approach of the biggest market players and
• what appear to be the trends for the near future”
