In a series of Recommendations the Joint Parliamentary Committee of the European Economic Area expresses that, in principle, it supports the report on Europe and the global information society, presented by the Bangemann Group and calls for the establishment of a European authority in telecommunications, information and audio-visual services.

Furthermore, the Committee urges the EEA Parties to establish a common regulatory framework for the protection of intellectual property rights, privacy and security of information and suggests the creation of regional investment funds for the audio-visual sector.
