The pandemic has created huge disruptions within the wider audiovisual industry. Times are difficult but still there are also reasons to be hopeful: the European Commission has launched a new Creative Europe programme for 2021-2027 period with a significant increase in the budget and particularly for 2021 and 2022 to enable the industry to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, it has also adopted a Media and Audiovisual Action Plan which spells out for the first ever time the importance that the European Commission is attaching to the wider media sector in Europe.
