Proposals were produced as a result of consultations and discussions at a round table organized by the IJC with the support of the US Agency for International Development (USAID) as part of the FHI 360 project Moldova Partnerships for Sustainable Civil Society. The event was attended by media experts, civil society representatives, and journalists representing local and national media outlets. The recommendations for improvement are intended to bring clarity to phrasings, and they for the first time introduce the concept of “online information portal”.
Participants gave a positive appreciation to the fact that the draft law on media ownership transparency and public access to the information about the owners of media outlets had been examined by the plenum of the Parliament at the first meeting, but they also expressed their intention to prepare and deliver to the specialized parliamentary committee a set of proposals and recommendations to supplement the Broadcasting Code.
It should be noted that last week the IJC and some other civil society organizations launched a joint declaration, asking the Parliament to abide by the legally required term (not more than 45 days between the first and second readings) to prepare and examine in the second reading the draft law on modifying and supplementing the Broadcasting Code of Moldova in terms of media ownership transparency.
By means of the above-mentioned actions, civil society representatives asked the legislative body to comply with its legally required and assumed obligations concerning the term provided by the current legislation, as well as with the principle of harmonizing the national legislation with the regulatory acts of the European Union.
