38As is apparent from recital 5 in the preamble to the Framework Directive, the convergence of the telecommunications, media and information technology sectors means all transmission networks and services should be covered by a single regulatory framework and in the establishment of that framework, it is necessary to separate the regulation of transmission from the regulation of content. According to that same recital, the NRF does not cover the content of services delivered over electronic communications networks using electronic communications services, such as broadcasting content, financial services and certain information society services, and is therefore without prejudice to measures taken at European Union or national level in respect of such services, in compliance with European Union law, in order to promote cultural and linguistic diversity and to ensure the defence of media pluralism.
