Административен контрол върху телевизионната програма
Administrative Regulation of TV Programme

Summary/Abstract: There are two types of control over the content of the TV program: public and state control. The public control can be collective (under the Radio and Television Act) and individual (under the Law on Access to Public Information). The state control over the TV program includes the following subtypes of control — administrative, judicial and constitutional. The administrative control is an activity carried out by a state authority. The administrative control represents an instrument for supervision of the principle of legal compliance. The authorities performing this type of control stay outside the hierarchical structure of the supervised body. The administrative control is carried out by a regulatory body (Council of Electronic Media). The representatives of the regulatory body are competent to require materials and carry out inspections of the TV operators. They are also empowered to give mandatory instructions, revoke or terminate licenses or impose sanctions.
