    Appendix to the Responses of the Government of Hungary to the list of issues and questions with regard to the consideration of the combined seventh and eighth periodic report (CEDAW/C/HUN/7-8) Annex no. 1 Important cases of legal violations established by the Media Council 2008 RTL Klub – Fábry Show In decision no.583/2008. (III. 26.) the ORTT (National Committee for Radio and Television) found that the RTL Klub programme titled "Fábry Show" had committed a legal violation when the presenter, while discussing domestic political issues, made strong, vulgar comments of a sexual nature about the leader of the Hungarian Socialist Party faction, the largest governing party in parliament. Although the presenter apologised to the faction leader, he later countered his statement, noting that the government could also apologise for what they had done, in the light of which the earlier image is not an exaggeration. In the view of the Committee, what was said in that part of the programme put the socialist politician in an undignified and vulnerable position, and hurt her human dignity by making jokes which reduced her to a sexual object. The ORTT (the legal predecessor, until 2010, to the present media authority) found that the broadcasting company Magyar RTL Televízió Zrt. was in breach of Act I of 1996 on radio and television broadcasting (hereafter: Radio and TV Act),1 paragraph 3 (2) (protection of the right to human dignity in the media). In view of the breach, the Committee called upon the programme broadcaster to discontinue its unlawful conduct. 2009 TV2 - Mokka ("Mocha") In decision no.

  • The GVH Cleared Concentrations Relating to Magyar RTL Televízió Zrt
    The GVH cleared concentrations relating to Magyar RTL Televízió Zrt. The Gazdasági Versenyhivatal (Hungarian Competition Authority – GVH) authorised RTL Group Central and Eastern Europe GmbH (RTL CEE) - which belongs to an international undertaking-group engaged in operating RTL channels - to acquire sole control over IKO Média Holding Zrt. (IMH), which has ownership rights in Magyar RTL Televízió Zrt. (M-RTL). In addition to this, after obtaining the position statement of the Media Council of the National Media and Infocommunications Authority for the approval of the concentration, the GVH cleared the transaction through which M-RTL acquired sole control over IKO Televisions Kft. (IKOT), and at the same time, accepted commitments from the parties. The latter concentration resulted in the acquisition of the broadcasting and advertising rights of Cool, Sorozat+, Prizma, Muzsika, Reflektor, Film+ and Film+2. The international RTL-group has already acted on the Hungarian market as one of the main investors of the Hungarian RTL Klub. Due to the acquisition of RTL CEE over IMH – which also belongs to the undertaking-group – the RTL-group continued to increase its shares in M-RTL. This transaction was authorised by the GVH without the imposition of conditions or acceptance of commitments on the parties concerned in a Phase I procedure. Even though several channels of the international RTL-group can be viewed from Hungary (e.g.: RTL, VOX, RTL II, Super RTL etc.) and therefore the parties to the transaction have several television channels in Hungary, the GVH came to the conclusion that the transaction would not have harmful effects on competition as these channels are not from any viewpoint (viewers, advertisers) substitutes for the M-RTL channel, RTL Klub.
