Background information
The Greek government on 21 April 2023, with the Ministerial Decision No. E298, introduced the state subsidy of nationwide television channels.
This measure is intended to provide financial support to television channels and their employees, due to the negative economic consequences suffered by these companies caused by the Russian attack on Ukraine and the sanctions imposed by the EU and international partners, as well as from the countermeasures taken.
Content of measure
The Ministerial Decision No. Ε298 (Government Gazette 2673/21.4.2023/ B) provides for the financial support of the private nationwide television stations.
