We expect that this should be based on the existing structure of EU rules and regulations, during which the UK and the EU would continue to have access to one another’s markets on current terms. This would indeed cover the Audiovisual Media Services Directive (AVMSD) which governs the pan-EU broadcasting legislation and allows the UK-based broadcasting licensees to broadcast into the EU.</p><p><strong> </strong></p> answering member constituency Stourbridge answering member printed Margot James question first answered 06/02/2018 15:59:56 answering member 4115 label Biography information for Margot James
