"Mr President, I would like to speak about the rejection by the Polish National Broadcasting Council of the application by the Lux Veritatis Foundation for the allocation of space on a digital multiplex for Trwam Catholic TV. I would like to draw your attention to this failure to respect equal competition rules for entities in the Polish market and this discrimination against media on the grounds of their Catholic nature. Records of the concession procedure show that of the four concessions finally granted for the multiplex, two were broadcasters of music programmes, which is a glaring breach of the principle of openness and pluralism in radio and television. Despite this, the Polish National Broadcasting Council, in the grounds provided for its decision, emphasised the unique nature of their programme, even though none of the entities that were granted concessions had any religious programmes. Trwam TV’s fixed and current assets as well as its balance sheet total are many times greater than the competitors that received concessions. These facts clearly demonstrate a breach of the fundamental laws of the European Union concerning free and independent media. In the light of the above, I believe that both Parliament and the Commission have a responsibility to address this issue."@en1
