Paragraph 48
 

Article 23.4 provides that both public and private mass media for the campaign must ensure equal access to the parties that advocate different answers to the referendum question. In contrast with public mass media, private media are not subject to a requirement of neutrality, even if equal conditions for radio and television advertising must be ensured. The Venice Commission recommends providing for less strict rules for private media.
