Resumen de The National Electronic Mass Media Council explores legal options to limit certain retransmissions
The Nacionala elektronisko pla�sazinas lidzeklu padome (National Electronic Mass Media Council), the national regulatory authority, has been recently exploring legal options for limiting retransmission of certain television broadcasts, which might be contrary to Latvian and EU law. Within the context of the Ukraine and Crimea crisis, the Council has received numerous complaints that several Russian language television channels contain broadcasts, which allegedly promote war and military conflict, as well as include incitement to hatred and destruction of the territorial unity of countries. Also, the Public Consultative Council, a consulting body to the Council, is of the opinion that several channels intentionally broadcast misleading information unfavourable to Latvian territorial integrity.
