THE ITALY SYSTEM IN THE NEW EU LEGISLATURE

Bruxelles, 15 January 2025

La prima edizione dell’evento annuale Connact, appuntamento patrocinato dal Parlamento europeo e promosso da associazioni di categoria e aziende, parte dalla necessità di un confronto aperto tra decisori pubblici e privati. “Il sistema Italia nella nuova legislatura Ue” vede il coinvolgimento di realtà con stabile rappresentanza a Bruxelles, gli europarlamentari nazionali e funzionari di Parlamento, Consiglio e Commissione.

Gli ambiti economici sul tavolo sono numerosi e i settori rappresentati lo sono altrettanto, come agrifood, finanza, energia, trasporti e logistica, farmaceutica, sicurezza e difesa, media, industria e mercati, tecnologia.

L’avvio della X legislatura del Parlamento Europeo è stata l’occasione per far nascere nuove sinergie, destinate a fortificarsi con ulteriori adesioni e risultati concreti.

L’Italia ha bisogno di presentarsi compatta e protagonista per trainare l’Europa nelle sfide economiche, finanziarie, sociali e geopolitiche che ci attendono.

8. The media industry, a strategic geopolitical asset for upholding the foundations of European law

The Media Freedom Act was one of the last measures adopted in the last European legislature: pluralism, transparency of funding, independence from political power, the impact of artificial intelligence and the fight against fake news are the areas to be monitored to verify the effectiveness of the Regulation. It is also necessary to take into account the evolution of the market, which is moving towards a polarisation of revenues and profits, while technology and investment capital, both public and private, are leading to a progressive disintermediation between the content producer and the user on the one hand, and the advertising investor on the other, with the platforms on which the content is delivered gaining increasing power. How to promote the competitiveness of the European media industry and defend its strategic autonomy in this context?
