EC seeks content consultation

Viviane Reding, the European Commission's Information Society and Media Commissioner wants online content producers across Europe to inform her how the market should take shape and the challenges it faces. 


Reding has launched Content Online in Europe's Single Market, a consultation process which she hopes will furnish her with the information she needs to stimulate growth in the European digital content market. Currently the market is worth 8% of Europe's GDP, but the market is expected to triple by 2008.


Reding wants members of the content community to inform her of the economic and regulatory barriers the industry faces, how Europeans fare compared to the rest of the world in terms of competition and do we need progress in digital rights management.


Reding is looking at content produced in the corporate, as well entertainment markets, including films, music and games.
