Protecting minors in Georgia through TV programme labelling and age-rating

Within the European Union and Council of Europe joint project on ‘Promoting freedom, professionalism and pluralism of the media’ the Council of Europe,  in cooperation with the Georgian National Communications Commission, will organise a series of training courses for members of the Georgian National Communications Commission on the Council of Europe and Georgian National Communications Commission’s standards concerning the regulations for TV products having detrimental effect on children and TV-like services. The training courses will be held in the Hotel Lopota (Kakheti Region), on 12-13 and 19-20 March 2017.

During the training the Council of Europe experts will review the best European standards to ensure the protection of minors through legislation and self-regulatory mechanisms as well as specify the programme labelling and age rating practices. The experience of setting up media literacy networks and the role of the Communications Commission will be also actively discussed during the events. Finally, the main challenges related to the regulations of on-demand and TV-like services will be discussed.

The training is organised within the framework of the joint Council of Europe-European Union Program EU/CoE Joint Project ‘Promoting freedom, professionalism and pluralism of the media’. The project was launched in January 2015 and aims to improve freedom, independence, pluralism and diversity of media, to review media legislation and regulation to bring these in line with European standards, including ethical standards for media professionalism as well as to support the implementation of legal frameworks, including remedial actions and to promote the safety of journalists.
