A) Reasons given by the Member State for failure to achieve the proportions
1. Majority proportion of European works (Article 4)
The private broadcaster LNT stated: “We were forced to remove several European programmes from the schedule because of their low ratings. Moreover, the US offers a much broader range of programmes than Europe.”
B) Measures taken or envisaged by the Member State
LNT stated that it is investing more in its own productions.
C) Further comments
The private TV broadcaster Pirmais Baltijas Kanals broadcasts solely in Russian. It is also licensed by the UK’s Ofcom under the name “First Baltic Channel”.
On 8 May 2007, News Corp Europe took over the commercial TV station LNT and bought 70% of the shares of the private broadcaster TV Riga (channel TV5). There is a risk that these channels may broadcast (even) more non-European content in the future.

A) Reasons given by the Member State for failure to achieve the proportions
1. Majority proportion of European works (Article 4)
Two national TV broadcasters (LNK and TELE-3) were not able to achieve the target in the period 2005/2006 because of agreements they signed for purchasing non-European audiovisual works.
2. Minimum proportion of European works by independent producers (Article 5)
One national channel (LNK) failed to achieve the target in the period 2005/2006. It stated that the purchasing prices of independent productions were too high for it.
B) Measures adopted or envisaged by the Member State
The Radio and Television Commission, which regulates and continuously monitors the activities of broadcasters in Lithuania, holds talks with broadcasters who fail to comply with the rules on European works and tries to identify the reasons for this. The broadcasters are doing their best gradually to increase the proportion of European works in their transmission time. Unfortunately, economic circumstances occasionally prevent them from achieving this.

A) Reasons given by the Member State for failure to achieve the proportions
1. Majority proportion of European works (Article 4)
The channel Club RTL failed to achieve the minimum required. This is because its programme schedule largely consists of sports broadcasts, which are excluded from consideration, and of cartoons, which are mainly non-European. However, there has been a significant and steady increase in European works in the schedules since 2004, in line with the objective of broadcasting more European works.
No figures are available for 2005 for DVL TV S.A. as the company only began broadcasting in June 2006.
2. Minimum proportion of European works by independent producers (Article 5)
Nordliicht TV is a low-budget channel in Luxembourgish. Nordliicht produces all its programmes itself.
B) Measures taken or envisaged by the Member State
CLT-UFA has been formally instructed to take the steps needed to ensure compliance with its obligations in the future.
C) Further comments
Everyday Media S.A. ceased all activity in March 2007 and is no longer able to provide the authorities with the figures required.
