Media Plus is a support programme for the audiovisual industries in Europe (more information about Media Plus can be found on the The European Commission website). The programme expires at the end of 2006 and work has begun on the generation of the new programme, which will start in 2007. The European Commission issued outline proposals for the new programme in March 2004.
 
The Commission is planning to issue detailed proposals in July 2004. In parallel with this process the UK is now developing its detailed negotiating position towards the new programme.  DCMS are inviting contributions to the development of the UK negotiating position for the new programme that will succeed Media Plus from 2007.  We are consulting widely to get as many views as possible on what you think should be the aims, objectives and priorities of the new programme should be. We would welcome any general or specific comments on any aspect of the planned programme. The deadline for submitting a response is Friday 24 September 2004. Responses can be sent by e-mail to Rebecca.Greenfield@culture.gsi.gov.uk or
