Digital Terrestrial Television Broadcasting

Hellenic Council of State (Simvoulio tis Epikratias)
Judgment no. 95/2017, in Plenum

Dimitrios Pyrgakis

Associate Judge, Greek Council of State

The plenary session of the Council of State decided that the new law on licensing providers of free-to-air digital terrestrial television broadcasting was unconstitutional given that the National Council for Radio and Television (ESR), and not the Government, should have been in charge of the licensing procedure.
