1. Free reception of audiovisual media services from the EU Member States, states of the European Economic Area and other European states which have ratified the Council of Europe Convention on Transfrontier Television shall be guaranteed in the Republic of Lithuania. 2. It shall be permitted to broadcast and re-broadcast in the Republic of Lithuania radio and/or television programmes or parts of programmes produced abroad without prejudice to the provisions of this Law and other laws. 3. Free reception in the Republic of Lithuania of television programmes broadcast or re-broadcast from the EU Member States, states of the European Economic Area and other European states which have ratified the Council of Europe Convention on Transfrontier Television shall be temporarily suspended when all the following conditions are present: 1) such television programmes violate the requirements of Article 17, subparagraph 3 of paragraph 1 of Article 19 or subparagraph 4 of paragraph 1 of Article 19 of this Law; 2) the violation specified in subparagraph 1 of this paragraph is repeated within 12 months of the first violation; 3) upon receiving a written conclusion of the competent institution regarding a suspected violation, the Commission has informed the broadcaster of television programmes and the European Commission about the suspected violations and about the measures the Commission intends to take in the event of repeated violations; 4) no agreement is reached by mutual consent through consultations with the state which broadcasts the television programmes and the European Commission within 15 days of the warning specified in subparagraph 3 of this paragraph and the alleged violations continue. 4. In cases where stricter or more detailed requirements for broadcasting of television programmes are established in the legal acts of the Republic of Lithuania than those laid down in the Audiovisual Media Services Directive and a broadcaster of television programmes under the jurisdiction of another EU Member State or a state of the European Economic Area broadcasts a television programme which is wholly or mostly directed towards the territory of the Republic of Lithuania, the Commission shall apply to the responsible institution of the EU Member State or the state of the European Economic Area having jurisdiction with a view to achieving a mutually satisfactory solution to any problems posed. 5. Where the Commission determines that in the case specified in paragraph 4 of this Article the achieved results are insufficient to solve the problem posed and the broadcaster of television programmes whose programmes violate the requirements of the legal acts of the Republic of Lithuania has established itself in a state under the jurisdiction of another EU Member State or a state of the European Economic Area in order to circumvent stricter requirements set for the specified fields than those set in the Audiovisual Media Services Directive which are applicable to broadcasters of television programmes established in the Republic of Lithuania, the Commission shall have the right to adopt against that broadcaster of television programmes such appropriate measures likely to be applied as are objectively necessary, applied in a nondiscriminatory manner and proportionate to the objectives which they pursue and impose such measures.
