Parliament adopted its first-reading position on the proposed European Media Freedom Act, a regulation establishing a common framework for media services in the internal market and amending Directive 2010/13/EU. The position corresponds to the final legislative act, Regulation (EU) 2024/1083, after agreement between Parliament and Council. Parliament calls on the Commission to refer the matter to Parliament again if it replaces, substantially amends or intends to substantially amend its proposal.
