- A) Reasons given by the Member State for failing to achieve the proportions
A) Reasons given by the Member State for failing to achieve the proportions 1. Majority proportion of European works (Article 4) In the case of the channel ORF 1, the ORF drew attention to the special market conditions. In terms of sporting events and the resulting extensive reporting requirements (Turin Winter Olympics and football World Cup) 2006 was a special year, as the calculation cannot include sports reports. As a result, mainly self-produced European works were broadcast on ORF 2, on which the figure was 90%. Also, with a view to increasing the proportion of European and own productions, the ORF began a comprehensive reform in April 2007. For example, for the first time a separate series of slots has been introduced which are devoted exclusively to European films. The range of measures taken should therefore significantly increase the proportion on ORF 1 in years to come. In the case of ATV Privatfernseh GmbH, it should be pointed out that this exclusively national private terrestrial television company is continuing to struggle with market conditions and, above all, with the fact that, as it is in competition with the ORF and countless German channels, it would have to accept considerable losses of viewers and market share if its programmes did not include a suitably high proportion of international (mainly US) films and series. The company points out that, regrettably, European productions seldom attract large numbers of viewers. Attention was also drawn to the high licensing and co-production costs associated with European films, in comparison with international productions. Premiere Fernsehen GmbH stated that 50% had not been achieved because a considerable number of programming hours were devoted to recent international (above all US) film productions, in consideration of their success in cinemas. Despite this, however, this proportion had clearly increased compared with the previous reporting period (from 37% in 2004 to 44% in 2006). Number of television channels subject to the reporting requirement The ORF’s SPORTPLUS channel is devoted purely to sport and, in accordance with its remit, focuses on sports that do not usually receive much media coverage. SPORTPLUS is therefore limited mainly to minority sports and, as a sports-only channel, is not subject to the reporting requirement. Kanal Telemedial Privatrundfunk GmbH has been broadcasting purely teleshopping programmes since July 2006 and is therefore not subject to the programme quotas. Mostafavi Rad KEG’s Firebird TV is a music channel broadcasting oriental music (in Arabic, Turkish, Russian and Persian only) to an audience in the Middle East, in particular in Iran, Iraq and Saudi Arabia. It is therefore assumed that this channel, as a special thematic channel, is in any case exempted from the requirement. Mostafavi Rad KEG was not authorised until July 2006 and was not broadcasting during the 2005 reporting period. MEC Sport und Entertainment GmbH broadcasts live horse racing from the United States and Austria (Magna Racino), without any pre-race or background reports. Only commentaries and race information (betting and results) are transmitted. The (encrypted) channel can be received only at race courses and in sports cafés and betting shops. As the channel comprises purely sports programmes, it is exempted from the requirements of Articles 4 and 5. Since November 2005, the erotic channel Blue Movie (broadcast up until then by Premiere Fernsehen GmbH) no longer falls under Austrian jurisdiction. A number of channels were not yet broadcasting during the reporting period (although they already held an authorisation), namely Belagro Medien und Handel GmbH, Alpenglühen Media GmbH and StarSat Werbevertriebs GmbH. Kanal Telemedial Privatrundfunk GmbH did not start broadcasting until July 2006. Apart from the broadcasters listed above, a number of companies transmit on local and regional cable networks. There are also a number of terrestrial broadcasters at local and regional level. However, under Article 9 of the Directive, none of these channels is considered to be covered by the reporting requirement. POLAND
