A) Reasons given by the Member State for failure to achieve the proportions

1. Majority proportion of European works (Article 4)

CyBC-2

CyBC-2 is the sports and recreationally oriented channel of the public service broadcaster. Consequently, its programme orientation justifies its relatively lower percentage compared with other channels: 46.4% European works. CyBC-1, also operated by the public broadcasting corporation, has a very high percentage of European works — 89.8%. Nonetheless, it must be pointed out that CyBC-2 has substantially increased its scheduling of European works (by 16.8%) compared to the figure in the last monitoring report for 2004.

Sigma

Sigma channel transmitted a low percentage (40%) of European works during the reference period. Nonetheless, it must be pointed out that the station has significantly increased its share of European works (by 5.2%) compared to the figure in the last monitoring report for 2004. In any event, the Cyprus Radio–Television Authority (CRTA) will continue its dialogue with the channel in order to find ways to increase its percentage.

2. Minimum proportion of European works by independent producers (Article 5)

All channels had a fairly low percentage of European works by independent producers, apart from Sigma TV, which achieved quite a high proportion of 29.4%. CRTA will issue a recommendation to all broadcasters to urge them to look into the matter and try to increase the time devoted to independent productions.

B) Measures taken or envisaged by the Member State

The measures being considered by the CRTA to increase the levels and percentages of European and independent works broadcast on all TV channels under its jurisdiction are: (1) to communicate to all national TV channels the results and conclusions of the last monitoring report as well as the results of this report (2005-2006) and (2) to remind them of their obligations under the Directive concerning this matter.

A) Reasons given by the Member State for failure to achieve the proportions

1. Majority proportion of European works (Article 4)

In the period monitored, a majority proportion of European works was not achieved only by those channels devoted solely to films. The broadcasters justify this trend by the situation in the film market, where the supply of high-quality, commercially successful films of European origin does not adequately meet the demands of television channels focusing on this type of product.

2. Minimum proportion of European works by independent producers (Article 5)

The failure to reach the 10% proportion of European works produced by independent producers in 2006 was particularly evident in the case of some terrestrial regional broadcasters, which regularly produce all their programmes themselves. The programmes of such operators are broadcast only for a few hours per day and mainly consist of regional information services. Most such operators practically do not transmit any other programming.
