The agency said that the TV channel's editorial activities were controlled by a foreign entity - thus violating current standards.
The Authority informs the founder of the television channel that, in accordance with the court decision, the work of this press establishment may be suspended. In addition, due to the licensee's failure to comply with the restrictions relating to the establishment of the television channel, it is possible that the license granted by Media Communications to France 24 may be revoked.This information appeared a day after the French Supreme Audiovisual Council (CSA) issued a warning to RT France for reporting on the situation in Syria's Gouta, citing inaccuracies in the translation of "eyewitnesses." RT explained that it was a technical error that has since been fixed, and stated that it will continue to reflect all points of view when reporting on the conflict in Syria.
