The proposed "Rules" include an obligation to:

"ensure that, to the best of their knowledge, information which they provide is unbiased, complete, up-to-date and not misleading"

Tony Bunyan, Statewatch editor, comments:

"What does "unbiased" mean? Is a Commission press release "biased" because it presents its point of view? Or is any point of view that disagrees with it biased?"

Our work is only possible with your support.
