The European Union supports the activity of the Audiovisual Council (CA) which is related to the monitoring of audiovisual content, through a donation of equipment.
The Ambassador of the European Union to the Republic of Moldova, HE Jānis Mažeiks, visited the Audiovisual Council on Thursday, to donate to the regulatory authority 45 computers, 46 uninterruptible power supply devices (UPS), 16 laptops, 8 monitors, two servers, as well as 55 licenses for different types of software. The total value of the donated equipment is 125 thousand euros.
In order to ensure fair regulation, the CA will supervise the impartial and balanced reflection of information, including the correctness of the representation of the situation in the region, the presence of local audiovisual programs, equal space for electoral competitors, ensuring gender equality within the audiovisual programs. All this is monitored in a wider way, thanks to the equipment donated by the European Union, through Internews.
