The European Parliament’s Culture and Media Committee (CULT) adopted the trilogue result on the European Media Freedom Act without a lengthy debate on Wednesday with 24 votes in favor and 6 against. „Even though I would have liked us to have had more insight from the member states on one point or another, we were able to reflect the majority of the points that were important to us in the dossier and were also able to prevail against the Council“, said rapporteur and CULT Chair Sabine Verheyen (CDU). In particular, it had been possible to push through many parliamentary positions on the protection of journalists.
