lpv:translated text	". We are concerned at the growing concentration of media ownership among an ever-decreasing number of companies. As has been highlighted, the highest concentration of the audiovisual market anywhere in Europe is in Italy, where the market is dominated by two players, RAI and Mediaset. Criticism of the situation in Italy must not, however, be used to deflect attention from what is happening in other countries. In Portugal, more than one hundred of the main national media organisations are in the hands of half a dozen large companies, which, at the very least, is an alarming state of affairs. Freedom of expression, access to information and freedom of employment are all in danger; this is the logic of business taken to extremes. This reality is reflected in the concerted assault by neo-liberal policies, of which media domination is one weapon. The media is, indeed, one of the areas in which the battle over ideology and class domination is most obviously being fought. Everything must be done, through legislation and other means, to reverse the situation, to reduce the excesses and abuses taking place, and staunchly to defend public radio and television worthy of the name."@en1
