Items 33 et seq of the draft Law propose changes about media service providers including a requirement for all such providers covering an election campaign to present a “statement of editorial policy” (Article 70.2). It is unclear what the proposed “statement of editorial policy” should cover. It is clearly necessary that each media provider be required to explain at an early stage how it will comply with the legal requirements such as access by candidates and parties to its services and paid advertising. But it would seem excessive to require a private media outlet to commit itself to a specific policy on treatment of contestants and other electoral stakeholders. The obligation to disclose ownership of the media outlet is in line with previous ODIHR recommendations and is valid in the interests of transparency but is rather a matter for media legal framework rather than electoral campaign rules only.
