Creativity Map

Your Cultures. Your Europe. Help Creativity. From the instant a creator has the “ah ha” moment to the final product, a significant amount of time and energy has been exerted. Creativity is a process, not something that can be produced on an assembly line or extracted from the ground.

This Creativity Map is a visual representation of the creative journey taken by the thousands of Europeans who are part of this continent’s creative and cultural engines. Click on the map to see the depth and value of European culture, which is under duress from European policymakers.

Broadcasting Regulation

Extending the regulation to online services will not bring positive results for consumers – on the contrary European content creation & its financing is at risk.

Geo-Blocking Regulation

Including copyright-protected works equals higher prices for less cultural diversity and fewer European works.

Copyright Directive

Once in a generation opportunity to strike the right balance between users, our cultural and creative ecosystem and platforms.

Portability

A proportionate solution for portability to digital services

Our goal is to deliver #culturally diverse #content to all #Europeans, with #geo_enabling and commercial freedom being the tools allowing us to do so. @sabineverheyen @EU_Commission pic.twitter.com/nDnIP2tFh0

Eroding commercial freedom would put SMEs in #creative sectors at risk, at the expense of #creativity and consumers. @EP_SingleMarket @s_yoncourtin @ThierryBreton pic.twitter.com/2XEHax82P2

A world without #geo_enabling would negatively affect consumer welfare while leading to less culturally diverse #content. This report will tell you more: bit.ly/3zBUCei @EU2022_CZ @DeirdreCluneMEP pic.twitter.com/U0jjacyNbV

Commercial freedom matters for consumers as well, as 103 million citizens across Europe would face higher prices for sports content if they were to access the same sports coverage without #geo_enabling. Find out more: bit.ly/3WqofZB @SchaldemoseMEP @ThierryBreton pic.twitter.com/ZkujfIyOgE

Smaller #creators benefit from #geo_enabling as well as #consumers, allowing for their #content to be marketed and tailored to consumers’ needs. @laurencefarreng @EU2022_CZ pic.twitter.com/hUqihry3mF
