[01] Gov't holds first meeting with parties on media licensesMinister of State Theodoros Roussopoulos, in charge of press and media issues for the government, on Thursday held the first of a round of meetings with the political parties in Parliament to discuss a draft bill being prepared by the government on the concentration and licensing of the mass media.The meeting was attended by representatives of ruling New Democracy, main opposition PASOK and the Coalition of the Left, Movements and Ecology party but not the Communist Party of Greece. Roussopoulos said the meeting had been "interesting and important" and that the government aimed for the greatest achievable consensus between the political parties and bodies involved. He said the next meeting with the parties and organisations in the media sector will take place in February, when the various views and the government's proposals would be codified as law. Regarding the government proposals, he stressed that these were not final but open for discussion. ANA-MPA Copyright © 2004-2005 All rights reserved.
