[ALEV-FULL] Freedom of Press in Hungary

ALDE ADLE Seminar (Full Video Event): Freedom of Press in Hungary

Event date: Tuesday 11 January 2011 11:30 to 13:00
Location: European Parliament JAN 4Q1

In view of the recent adoption by the Hungarian government of a law on the press which clearly poses serious problems concerning the liberty of the press, I have organised an Open Hearing this coming Tuesday 11 January at 11h30 in our Group room (JAN 4Q1).

The Hearing will include a video message from György Konrad, novelist and human rights advocate, Professor Miklos Haraszti, former OSCE Representative on Freedom of the Media and Professor László Majtényi, former Parliamentary Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information in the Republic of Hungary.

The problem with the EU is, all they do is talk & "disapprove" of the actions/legislation of member nations but, usually do nothing more than talk! The British customs & excise have violated the treaty on "free movement" of goods like tobacco & alcohol entering the UK (even when duty was paid ), from other member EU states; many people have these goods taken/stolen by the UK customs! What has been the response of the EU? The usual, empty threats of legal proceedings ! BAH HUMBUG!
