The next Chairman of the National Commission for Television and Radio
will probably be appointed or elected before the legislative reforms
regulating the field. Before March 19, that is before the end of the
authorizations of the Chairman of the committee and two more of its
members, the National Assembly is not likely to adopt the amendments
to the Law on television and radio and the "NCTR regulations".

The necessity of the amendments arose after the Constitutional
reforms which stipulated that half of the members of the Commission
must be elected by the NA, and the other half must be appointed by
the President. On January 31 the Justice Ministry put the offered
legislative amendments in its official website for public discussions.

Let us remind you, that regardless of the adoption or non-adoption
of the amendments until March 19, the vacant places in the Commission
must be filled according to the demand of the Constitution. That means
that every first member of the Commission must be elected by the NA,
and every second member must be appointed by the President.
