(1) If the election commission grants the objection, it shall apply the legal consequence described in Section 218 (2) a)-c), and oblige the media content provider to publish the operative part of its resolution:

a) in the case of daily newspapers, Internet press products and on demand media services, within three days of the communication of the resolution, in a manner similar to the publication that constituted the breach;

b) in the case of periodicals, in the next issue, in a manner similar to the publication that constituted the breach;

c) in the case of linear media services, within three days of the communication of the resolution, in a manner similar to the publication that constituted the breach and at the same time of day.

(2) In addition to the measures described in (1), the election commission may also issue a fine. In deciding whether a fine is called for and in determining the fine amount, all circumstances of the case – and especially the type and broadcast coverage of the media content provider in question, the characteristics of the press product involved, the gravity of the violation and its recurrence – shall be taken into account. The fine amount shall also depend on whether the violation was evidently intentional.

(3) The highest fine amount shall be fifty times the monthly minimum wage.

(4) In the case of periodicals, a violation of Section 2 (1) c) can be established if it has been proven to exist on the basis of the proofs designated, following a simultaneous examination of at least two consecutive issues.
