The European Commission began a European regulators’ group for audiovisual media services. The high-level panel of representatives of national independent regulatory bodies will advise the EC on how to implement the EU audiovisual media services directive in a converged media age, said the commission Monday.

The group meets for the first time March 4, it said.
