'This comprehensive and indispensable guide to European Union policy for the cultural industries is enlightening, well informed, well written and up to date. Authoritatively covering innovation in European cultural and media governance, competition law and regulation and the articulation of European policies on copyright, protection of minors, film, television and telecommunications, this book is a model of its kind.' Richard Collins, Open University, UK 'An important contribution deserving of wide readership, this comprehensive collection of expert contributions explores the European Union's role across a range of policy issues in the communications sector. At once authoritative and accessible, it sheds light on the complexities of the relationship between the EU institutions and the Member States, providing a fascinating account of the jurisdictional grey areas and the tensions inherent in the EU's system of multi-level governance.'
