The commission will have a strong role in regulating commercial communications, including advertisement, through the media service codes which will be binding on video-on-demand services and broadcasting services and through online safety codes which will be binding on designated online services.

As I said, I cannot accept these amendments that would appear to contradict the Audiovisual Media Services Directive. That directive also requires member states to foster self-regulation.

This section also covers, apart from advertisement, for example, co-operation with the Press Council. I cannot foresee any language there because I cannot contradict the directive. I am not accepting these amendments.
