[01] Draft law on new broadcaster possible by mid-July
ANA-MPA - A draft law for the institutional founding of an independent
public broadcaster may be tabled in Parliament by mid-July, Deputy
Minister for Public Radio and Television Pantelis Kapsis said in an
interview published in Sunday's edition of Ethnos newspaper.
"Our first and immediate priority is to have public television start
broadcasting again, as the Council of State decision and Greek society
requires," Kapsis said.
He said that compensation to staff laid off from ERT, the shutdown public
broadcaster, would be based on the unified wage scale.
Kapsis called for "honest dialogue among all" and said "we must decide
what kind of a public radio and television we want, and use this to set
it up". This would be overseen by a high-level committee including an
overseas advisor and would take into account the experience of Greece
and other countries in public broadcasting.
