The EU Directive on Audiovisual Media Services (AVMS) covers traditional broadcasting services as well as audiovisual media services provided on-demand, including via the Internet. Article 13(1) provides for Member States to secure a minimum 30% share of European works in the catalogues as well as "ensuring prominence" of those works. "Prominence" involves promoting European works through facilitating access to such works using any appropriate means to ensure prominence of European works. The Directive has been implemented by Member States in different ways, ranging from very extensive and detailed measures to a mere reference to the general obligation to promote European works.
Art. 13 of the Amendment of the Lithuanian Law on Lithuanian National Radio and Television transposes the AVMS directive. Broadcasters shall reserve, where practicable, at least 50% of their transmission time (excluding the time allotted to news, sports events, games, advertising, teletext services and teleshopping) for European works. Broadcasters of television programmes must, where possible, reserve at least 10 percent of the television programme time remaining after deducting the time allocated for news, sports events, games, advertising programmes, teletext services and teleshopping for European works created by independent producers not earlier than within the past five years.

This is complicated by the ECHR judgment of Delfi AS v Estonia where the ECHR affirms the Estonian courts that Delfi AS is liable for ‘clearly unlawful’ comments from being published in the portal’s comments section, even though Delfi had taken down the offensive comments immediately after it had been notified about them, as justified and proportionate restriction on Delfi’s right to freedom of expression. Lithuanian courts have yet to address this and it remains a question among legal circles on the applicability of the case.
