Which audiovisual-media and e-book products and services does Directive (EU) 2019/882 (the EAA) cover from 28 June 2025, and what are the main carve-outs and transition dates?
The EAA covers consumer terminals used to access AV media services and e-readers (products), and services providing access to AV media services (incl. EPGs) and e-books/dedicated software (services) after 28 June 2025, not AV content itself. The 28 June 2030 transition lets service providers keep using products already in use; it is not a general deadline extension. Microenterprises providing services are exempt.
