Someone like me finds myself in that gateway accidentally because you have that concern of not having the language. It is helpful. I have two questions. In her written submission, Deirdre Ní Choistín highlighted concerns about the annual review of funding. Adequacy may not be compliant with the European Media Freedom Act. Can she elaborate on that point? What changes to this process does she propose? Second, she also spoke about requiring media funds-supported content to be subject to the creative commons licence. This may incentivise broadcasters to invest in such content. Can she expand on that and what she considers as optimal for media funds-supported content?
