If, after obtaining the Competition Commission’s report, DETEC ascertains that a broadcaster or another undertaking active in the radio and television market has jeopardised diversity of opinion and programming as a result of its abuse of its dominant position, it may take measures in the area of radio and television. As a rule, it takes a decision within three months of receipt of the report.
It may demand that the broadcaster or the undertaking concerned:
ensures diversity by measures such as granting broadcasting time for third parties or cooperating with other participants in the market;
takes measures against corporate journalism, such as issuing editorial statutes to ensure editorial freedom;
should such measures prove to be clearly inadequate, adapts the business and organisational structure of the undertaking.
