NGO sector is waiting for explanations from the National Communications Regulatory Commission. They can not understand how media should verify the reliability and objectivity of election surveys, commissioned by media outlets to local and international research organizations.

The initiative, which imposes a new commitment on broadcasters, is already in parliament. In case of entry into force, it will also concern the election exit polls.

The new initiative is related by the Rustavi 2 broadcasting company"s lawyers to election exit polls. They recollect the 2016 parliamentary elections exit polls, the credibility of which was questioned by the National Commission for Communications. .

The Communications Regulatory Commission does not deny that the new initiative is related to the Rustavi2 exit poll. But they say, on the contrary, this legislative proposal is for the benefit of broadcasters.

In addition to this initiative, the Communications Regulatory Commission considers that the language of hate speech and the spread of harmful information by media should be beyond the scope of self-regulation and should be punished.
