A) Reasons given by the Member State for failure to reach 1. Majority proportion of European works (Article 4) TV 2 Filmkanalen did not fulfill its obligation in 2007 and 2008. The channel has, however, shown considerable progress by more than tripling the European quotas in this period (from 6 to 22 percent). The other two channels that did not fulfill the European quotas obligations for 2008 (TVNorge and NRK3) have not stated reasons. However, the deviations are quite small (1 and 2 percent respectively), and both channels have shown good results for the previous years. 2. A minimum proportion of European works by independent producers (Article 5) TV 2 Filmkanalen has fulfilled the independent production quotas in 2008, increasing the proportion from 3 percent in 2007 to 13 percent in 2008. B) Measures taken or envisaged by the Member State The Norwegian authorities will continue to monitor that TV 2 Filmkanalen, TVNorge and NRK3 increase the European works quota for the next period, and take further action if they do not.
