Abstract:	Are the communications regulatory regimes in the Middle East/North Africa region moving towards the adoption of European-style audiovisual policies? Broadly yes, but with important exceptions, say the authors. This article analyzes the actions of the 24-member Mediterranean Network of Regulatory Authorities, and then examines the individual cases of authorities in Lebanon and Morocco. The authors find evidence of movement towards European-style regulatory harmonization and integration in the region; however, uncertainties about the future remain, especially with respect to transparency and accountability.
