[01] Council of State agrees to discuss injunction petitions of TV
channels
The Council of State (CoS) plenum accepted the injunction petitions
filed by television stations against the government's recent TV tender
to auction off four broadcasting licenses, sources said on Tuesday.
With 16 votes in favour and 9 against, judges ruled that the injunction
petitions are well-founded and broadcasters have a legal interest in
appealing to the CoS. Following this decision, the case rapporteur,
Giorgos Papageorgiou started presenting the proposal to his colleagues
but the session was interrupted for the day in order to continue at
another date which wasn't specified.
The next session will decide on the constitutionality and legality of
the law prepared by State Minister Nikos Pappas which transferred the
powers of regulator ESR to the relevant government bodies.
[02] Tsipras to focus on second program review, debt relief, at EU
summit talks
Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras will focus on the completion of the
second program review and progress in providing debt relief for Greece
during his meetings with counterparts at the European Council meeting
in Brussels on Thursday and Friday.
EU leaders will meet on 20 and 21 October to discuss three major issues:
migration, trade and Russia, including its role in Syria.
Tsipras will meet on the sidelines of the summit with French President
Francois Hollande, German Chancellor Angela Merkel, European Commission
President Jean-Claude Juncker and the President of the European Parliament
Martin Schulz.
