I move amendment No. 108: In page 51, after line 39, to insert the following: “(7) A broadcaster or media service provider shall also comply with any regulations and restrictions which may be set out by the Commission, including through a media service code.”. Amendment No. 110 provides that the media service codes made under section 46N shall be subject to approval by the Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport and Media.
By compelling an coimisiún to make media service codes covering all matters within section 46N(2) of the Broadcasting Act 2009, as inserted by the Bill, amendments Nos 109 and 111 would have the effect of limiting the discretion of an coimisiún in when and how it exercises regulatory duties through the creation of media service codes. This amendment relates to the media service codes.
