European Parliament 12 November 2002, WRITTEN QUESTION P-3268/02 by Maurizio Turco (NI) to the Commission. Media funding and monitoring of the impartiality of information provided by bodies funded by the Union and public entities in the Member States.

As the problem referred to is situated in a third country, ultimate responsibility for dealing with it lies with that country. However, the Commission does examine the possibility to use its external assistance to address priorities identified by the beneficiary countries, within the limitations of available resources.
