Experts, decision makers, representatives of public and private broadcasters and of the civil society who are participating in a national conference themed “Improving Legal Framework Regulating Broadcasting: Conceptual Views” pointed out a number of shortcomings in the national broadcasting legislation. The conference was organized by the Electronic Press Association APEL in cooperation with the parliamentary commission for culture, science and mass media and the Mass Media Program of Soros-Moldova Foundation, Info-Prim Neo reports. The executive director of APEL Ion Bunduchi told the Agency that the first half of the conference centered on the Broadcasting Code and the broadcasting regulator – the Broadcasting Coordination Council (BCC). In their speeches, the BCC president Gheorghe Gorincioi, jurist and chairman of the Supervisory Board of the National Public Broadcaster “Teleradio-Moldova” Eugen Rybka, chairwoman of the parliamentary commission for culture, science and mass media Corina Fusu and director general of the Superior Broadcasting Council of Belgium Jean-François Furnémont refereed to the multiple inaccuracies contained in the Broadcasting Code and stressed the necessity of modifying the broadcasting legislation. Ion Bunduchi said the conference participants will also discuss the “Public Service” and the “Public and Private Broadcasters”. The suggestions will be used by a group of experts who are to draft a bill for improving the national broadcasting legislation during several months and put it up for public debates. Measures to improve the national legislation are outlined in the road map tabled by the civil society to the Parliament last autumn. The conference is held at the Radio House on March 2-3.
