Mr President, on a point of order, Members should know - and we should ask the President of Parliament to get involved - about what is happening with Euronews. The Ukrainian service is about to be closed, as are the Arabic and Farsi satellite platforms, so that only the digital platforms will stay, which are of course prone to government control.

What is going on with Euronews is outrageous, with an Egyptian billionaire as the main shareholder, American NBC taking editorial control and the EU, which is putting in money through the Commission, not having a say in guaranteeing the editorial independence of Euronews. This is a very important strategic question for Europe in the age of information, disinformation and alternative facts. This is not a matter to be dealt with only by DG Connect from a technical or financial perspective, but is a matter that requires strategic intervention by President Juncker, High Representative Mogherini and the European Parliament through the President and the relevant committees.
