I thank Senator Higgins for raising her concerns in amendments Nos. 116, 117, 142 and 143 regarding the terminology used in the Bill. The term “physical, mental and moral development” is a transposition of the text of the Audiovisual Media Services Directive - for example, in Articles 6(B), 9, and 28(B). The use of that terminology is required to properly transpose the directive and therefore I cannot accept these amendments.
