LEGAL POSITION OF THE DEPUTY CHAIRMAN OF THE NATIONAL BROADCASTING COUNCIL.

In accordance with the will of the Polish legislator, a mandatory member of the National Broadcasting Council (KRRiT), pursuant to the provisions of the Constitution of the Republic of Poland being an authority upholding freedom of speech, the right to information and public interest in radio broadcasting and television, is the deputy Chairman of the National Council. Formulating in the Broadcasting Act the requirement to elect the deputy Chairman out of the members of the National Council, the legislator did not define clearly the mode of their election and dismissal, nor their applicable competences and the position within the collegiate body in which they function. Taking into consideration the statutorily mandatory character of the function of deputy Chairman of the National Council, the said questions require legal analysis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
