EC sues Prague over audiovisual media content rules

The European Commission (EC) today filed a lawsuit against the Czech Republic and another four European Union countries for not enforcing the new EU rules for content of audiovisual broadcast adopted in 2018, and asked the EU Court of Justice to set a fine. The EC argues that Czech bodies have not transposed the respective EU directive into the Czech law. Along with the Czech Republic, the EC has sued Slovakia, Ireland, Romania and Spain.
