European Convention on Transfrontier Television

Croatian television law was formed in compliance with the European Convention on Transfrontier Television that Croatia had joined between 1999 and 2002.

The European Convention on Transfrontier Television covered programme standards, advertising and sponsorship, and included regulations to protect audiences from the broadcasting of pornography, excessive violence and programmes inciting racial or religious hatred.

The Council of Europe created the European Convention on Transfrontier Television in 1989 that regulates among other things advertising standards, time and the format of breaks, which also has an indirect effect on the usage of licensing.
