Paragraph 79
 

An amendment to the Electoral Code also introduces a new instrument: the Code of Conduct. Its legal status is somewhere between a public instrument and a private convention. It is defined in Article 1 as “a convention concluded between electoral competitors and representatives of mass-media regarding the modality of unfolding and coverage of the electoral campaign in a way that excludes the harming of dignity and reputation of electoral competitors.”
