How can Europe be better protected against third country broadcasts inciting hatred?
Already under the existing Television Without Frontiers directive, third country broadcasters must comply with European rules, and notably those on respect for human dignity, non-discrimination and protection of minors, if their broadcasts can be received in Europe and if they use either a European satellite system or an up-link situated in one member state. If they do so, the competent member state can, as a last resort, ban a broadcast if it infringes European rules and order the satellite or the up-link operator to close down the broadcast in question.
