European Media Freedom Act #EMFA: What does it mean for journalists ? 1st part on #psm; #protectionofsources; editorial independence & #transparency with contributions from @ThoBergmann @evasimon_info & Dirk Voorhoof! More to come... via @efjeurope https://t.co/xAWBX2iLUh
No reasons to celebrate! It is true that Article 4 installs a more strict regime for the deployment of intrusive surveillance #spyware against #journalists. But it clearly states that Member States may deploy such spyware under certain conditions.

The #EU Member States are unnecessarily weakening the European #MediaFreedomAct. Thank you to the @OSCE_RFoM for pointing out their mistake.
#EMFA #ProtectionOfSources #ProtectionOfDemocracy
In its discussions about the #EuropeanMediaFreedomAct, the #EU is debating a separate clause (art. 4) on national security. While such an addition will not establish new legal realities, it could have a chilling effect on #mediafreedom, thus weakening the purpose of the #EMFA.🧵
"Better protection for journalists against spying"... This is far from guaranteed, if #EMFA adopts the repressive stance of certain #EU Member States.
#ProtectionOfSources #ProtectionOfDemocracy
Independent media are essential in #democracy.
With #MediaFreedomAct, we want to build important safeguards for them at 🇪🇺 level.
Tomorrow we will have hopefully the last #trilogue.
Here is a recap, why we need the new law 📽️👇
#EMFA
Seven European govs are proposing to legalise spying on journalists. Decision to be taken on Friday. The
@EFJEUROPE has been sounding the alarm since June. But nobody is talking about it. Well done and thank you to

An European Media Freedom Act with the national security exception proposed by the @EUCouncil will never be a real #MediaFreedom Act. The media sector will reject it!
#EMFA #ProtectionOfSources
As the negotiations on the European Media Freedom Act #EMFA are drawing to an end, @EFJEUROPE co-signed a letter to the policymakers calling for international standards to be respected on the protection of journalistic sources (Article 4).
We will not support an #EMFA that offers lower standards of protection for journalistic sources than those established by the European Court of Human Rights.

Political decision-makers and governments have never fully supported the protection of journalistic sources, which is a fundamental democratic issue.

Annual conference on the #RuleOfLaw at the @EU_EESC... I sometimes rage and fume when I comment on EU Member States' plans to legalise the use of #spyware against #journalists, as proposed by the French government.

We call on the European Union to review its position with a view to establishing an absolute ban on the use of spyware against journalists. This is about preserving democracy!

#PredatorFiles in #Germany: There is only one possible conclusion - given the ineffectiveness of the regulation, proven time and time again, the use of highly invasive spyware like Predator must be outlawed.

#EMFA: thank you to the 212 MEPs who tried, unsuccessfully, to obtain a majority for an unconditional ban on the use of #spyware against #journalists.

The @EFJEUROPE agrees. The problem is the lack of a complete ban on spyware! Now @EP_Justice & @EPCulture rapporteurs need to be firm & insist to not water down the urgent safeguards on #Protectionofsources & from spyware for journalists!! @RamonaStrugariu @sabineverheyen
Question: will the European Parliament tomorrow legalise spying on journalists, at the suggestion of the French government?
