• Resumen

  • On 9 July 2014, the Portuguese Parliament approved Act no. 40/2014 which introduces, for the second time, changes to the Television and On-Demand Audiovisual Services Act - Law no. 27/2007 (see IRIS 2011-4/30 and IRIS 2011-6/25). These modifications alter the programme-content obligations of the public service broadcaster RTP 1 (Rádio e Televisão Portuguesa). Under the new provisions, the law requires the broadcaster to include programmes that enhance the following areas: education, health, science, research, the arts, innovation, entrepreneurship, interculturalism, the promotion of gender equality, economic issues, social action, the dissemination of humanitarian causes, nonprofessional sport and school sports, religious beliefs, the production of independent creative works, the Portuguese cinema, the environment, consumer protection, and audiovisual experimentation (Article 52).
