Retour Nouvelle législation sur les services numériques : un changement de paradigme ? Une première approche des nouvelles règles de l'UE relatives aux services en ligne et de leur impact sur l'industrie de l’audiovisuel

L'observatoire européen de l'audiovisuel annonce une conférence en ligne (11.2.2021)
Nouvelle législation sur les services numériques : un changement de paradigme ? Une première approche des nouvelles règles de l'UE relatives aux services en ligne et de leur impact sur l'industrie de l’audiovisuel

Lien vers notre conférence en ligne aujourd’hui à 15h00

L’environnement des services en ligne est sur le point de subir un changement radical. Une nouvelle réglementation européenne est en vue avec la nouvelle législation sur les services numériques qui vise à moderniser le cadre juridique actuel de ces services. Mais quel sera l'impact de ce projet de loi sur le secteur audiovisuel ?

L’heure est venue de se pencher sur les propositions de ce nouveau paquet législatif. C'est pourquoi l'Observatoire européen de l'audiovisuelvous invite à cette conférence en ligne gratuite pour une première approche de la nouvelle législation sur les services numériques. Cette conférence est la septième édition de la traditionnelle « série de Bruxelles » de l'Observatoire qui se tient chaque année dans la capitale belge. Pour des raisons évidentes, l'événement de cette année se déroulera en ligne le jeudi 11 février de 15 h 00 à 17 h 00, heure de Bruxelles/Paris. L'inscription est gratuite, il suffit de cliquer sur le lien ci-dessus.

En ce qui concerne le calendrier de cette nouvelle législation, une consultation publique a été lancée en 2019 et sur des thèmes tels que la protection et la sécurité des utilisateurs en ligne, la responsabilité des services numériques « contrôleurs d’accès », la publicité en ligne et le renforcement du marché unique numérique. Les deux nouveaux projets de loi de ce paquet législatif, à savoir la loi relative aux services numériques et la loi relative aux marchés numériques, ont été publiés le 15 décembre 2020. 

En 2021, le Parlement européen et les États membres devraient donc discuter des propositions de la Commission dans le cadre de la procédure législative ordinaire.
Susanne Nikoltchev, directrice exécutive de l'Observatoire, estime que « l'Europe a atteint une étape clé dans la préparation de cette nouvelle réglementation. » Elle considère que la conférence de l'Observatoire constitue « un forum d'experts pour une première analyse détaillée de l’incidence des nouvelles règles pour le secteur audiovisuel européen. »

L'Observatoire présentera tout d’abord une vue d'ensemble de la situation, puis des discussions approfondies avec un panel d’experts suivront, ainsi que des échanges avec notre public.

Tous les journalistes sont invités à nous rejoindre. La langue de travail est l'anglais.
