• Resumen

  • On 17 February 2016, the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) rendered its judgment (C-314/14) on television advertising. The ruling sheds light on the proper interpretation of the Audiovisual Media Services Directive (2010/13/EU; AVMSD). The preceding television directive from 1989 as amended in 1997 and 2007 was implemented by the Finnish Act on Television and Radio Operations (744/1998; TV and Radio Act) and amendments thereto. Subsequently, the provisions at issue of the TV and Radio Act have been codified in the Information Society Code (917/2014; ISC) (with minor amendments) which entered, to a large extent, into force on 1 January 2015 (see Chs 26 and 42 ISC).
