Discussions on the European Commission's proposal for a European guarantee fund to promote cinema and television production recommenced during the Irish Presidency of the EU in the second half of 1996. These discussions had previously been suspended for some time pending receipt of clarification from the Commission of a number of concerns raised by member states.
