Amharc ar fhreagra

I wish to inform the Deputy that the details sought in respect of EU directives not yet transposed by my Department, since it was established in its current configuration in September 2020, are set out in the table below.

Directive

Current Position

EU Deadline for Transposition

Directive (EU) 2018/1808 concerning the provision of audiovisual media services (Audiovisual Media Services Directive) in view of changing market realities.

The Directive has been partially transposed through the enactment and commencement of the Online Safety and Media Regulation Act, and the establishment of Coimisiún na Meán. This progress was notified to the European Commission in March 2023.

Coimisiún na Meán will complete the transposition of the Directive through the adoption of its first online safety code and updating of certain media service codes. An Coimisiún is working intensively to achieve this progress, targeting completion end-February 2024.
