73. Notes that the European Community already has competence in a number of policy areas and avails itself of policy tools with direct relevance for media pluralism, such as the rules on free access for societies to important events in the Television without Frontiers Directive, rules on fair, reasonable and non-discriminatory access to application program interfaces (APIs) and electronic programme guides (EPGs) in the Access Directive, on Must-Carry in the Universal Service Directive, on the use of an open API for digital interactive television services and platforms and on the harmonisation of standards in order to achieve full interop ...[+++]erability of digital television on the level of the consumers in the Framework Directive;

As regards interactive digital television, the new regulatory framework for electronic communications networks and services encourages open APIs as well as interoperability of services and equipment and charges the Commission with examining how well interoperability of digital TV services has been achieved by 2004.

Migration from existing APIs to new open APIs should be encouraged and organised, for example by Memoranda of Understanding between all relevant market players.

Currently MHP is the only open standard for APIs adopted by EU standards bodies.

Openness of platforms depends on the interoperability of different services offered by different service providers which in turn depends on whether third parties can access the software that underpins application program interfaces (APIs).
