Brussels, 21/12/2004 (Agence Europe) - The Council of Europe's Committee of Ministers has adopted a Recommendation on the right to reply in the new media environment, urging Member States to extend the right to apply (which to date has applied to written press, radio and television) to online communication services providing information edited in a journalist manner. The right to reply, notes the Council of Europe, is a particularly appropriate remedy in the online environment, as contested information can be instantly corrected and replies can easily be attached. The Recommendation specifically states that if contested information remains available to the public, and if a right to replay has been granted, a link should be established between the two items to draw users' attention to the fact that the information has triggered a response.
