ARD Conference of Committee Chairs draws up framework compliance policy...
Munich – The committee chairs of German broadcaster ARD have agreed on a framework policy for members of supervisory bodies. This specifies in more detail the requirements under the relevant interstate treaties and establishes the basis for a common compliance culture across the individual broadcasting councils and administration councils. The policy includes standards of conduct for committee members and rules on dealing with possible conflicts of interest. For greater transparency, members of ARD supervisory bodies are also urged to share information on the Internet about their other roles before and during membership of broadcasting councils and administration councils. The onus is now on the broadcasting councils and administration councils of the ARD stations to implement the recommendations of the ARD Conference of Committee Chairs. They also need to check on a case-by-case basis whether additions need to be made as a result of existing statutory regulations or aspects specific to the particular committee.A CMS team including Dr Harald Potinecke and Laura Posch advised the Conference of Committee Chairs and a working party comprising committee members of all stations on all legal aspects of developing the framework compliance policy.
