The European Commission, DG X, has published a call for proposals concerning "Automatic" support for the transnational distribution of European films, within the MEDIA II programme for the development and distribution of European audiovisual works. The programme aims to boost the European film distribution sector, and encourage the transnational distribution of European films and networking among operators. The present call for proposals (6/98) will lead to the implementation of a system of support for European distribution, in proportion to ticket sales achieved by European films outside their national territory. This "automatic" support scheme will run for an experimental two-year period. European companies, principally film distributors, whose activities contribute to the attainment of the programme's objectives are invited to apply to the Commission for support under the scheme. Those interested should obtain from the Commission the guide for applicants and the necessary application forms. The necessary documentation may be obtained from: European Commission DG X - Audiovisual, information, communication and culture Mr. Jacques Delmoly Head of Unit C/2 200 rue de la Loi (L-102 7/23) B-1049 Brussels Fax +32-2-2999214
