What is TVN expected to be protected from, and what is this safety expected to be? Tusk explained that TVN was to be protected “from aggressive and dangerous, from the point of view of the State’s interests”. safety will depend on the fact that without the consent of the Polish government (read Tusk) it will not be possible to take over or buy TVN. Due to the legal absurdity of Tusk's declaration, the issue of possible purchase/sale of TVN stations requires a broader discussion and explanation.
It is widely believed that TVN is owned by American company Warner Bros Discovery. This is not precise information. Polish law in Article 35 of the Broadcasting and Broadcasting Act clearly states that the broadcasting licence may be granted to a abroad individual or ‘a subsidiary, within the meaning of the Commercial Companies Code, of a abroad individual whose registered office or permanent residence is in a associate State of the European economical Area.’. This means that neither a private individual nor any company outside the European Union and thus from the United States may own an entity licensed to ‘dissemble a radio or tv programme in Poland’. Therefore, the formal owner of TVN is Dutch company Polish tv Holding BV, whose office are located in a virtual office at Schiphol Airport in Amsterdam. According to the registry of the Dutch Chamber of Commerce, KVK does not employment any employees. It is simply a classical “slut”, utilized only to circumvent Polish law.
The only way to buy TVN is to buy Polish tv Holding BV, a company of Dutch commercial law. acquisition before the Dutch notary, with entry of the transaction in the Dutch court registry of commercial companies. So how does Tusk imagine that the Polish government would block this kind of transaction? Donald Tusk said that no 1 in the European Union would win him, but he is neither the EU king nor its politician for now. A akin legal effect will have a declaration that without the consent of the Polish government no 1 can buy Volkswagen, TotalEnergys, Electricité de France or the Mercedes-Benz group. It's like none.
It is besides worth noting that although Donald Tusk is simply a sober politician, he fell into his own snare. A fewer years ago, the Government of the United Right demanded a change of regulations, so that only Poles or companies managed by Polish capital could own radio and tv concessions in Poland. specified a law is applicable in all respectable European countries, where companies applying for concessions must have at least a majority ownership capital from the country concerned. erstwhile specified a request was made in Poland, then opposition with Tusk at the head of the bill, the task of the Sejm Act called lex TVN and tried to ridicule it and torpedo it in all ways. If not for this shortsightedness of left-wing liberal politicians, if present TVN's licence belonged to a Polish company, then Tusk could apply for TVN's protection. He could nationalize the licensed entity, arrest its owners and even take over the management of the company. He could do so by acting in accordance with Polish law, as he understands. In the case of a Dutch company, however, it would gotta comply with Dutch law, regardless of how it understands it.
Does Tusk eat so stupid to make specified a request, not at a press conference for reptiles, but at a Council of Ministers meeting? No, Tusk is perfectly aware that in no way can he block the purchase/sale of TVN. The intent of this message was purely preventive. The thought was to intimidate investors and discourage possible buyers. Show them that buying TVN will prove unprofitable to them. The Treasury companies, so eagerly advertised on TVN, will retreat their ads, journalists will not be allowed to press conferences of the Prime Minister and ministers of the government, and those of celebrities who will appear on the air of this station will be ridiculed and sentenced to the sharpness of their environment. Who would hazard moving a media business under these conditions? This is simply a very effective method of subtle “persuasion” utilized by Tusk successfully. Intel, an American giant in the production of integrated circuits, has already withdrawn from the investment in Poland. Investment in Poland was withdrawn by airport operators who wanted to invest immense money in the construction of CPK. another abroad companies, including arms companies, are withdrawing from the investment in Poland. abroad investors perfectly read signals sent by the current Polish government. The Lower Oder Valley National Park is to be established in Poland. most likely the valleys of the mediate Vistula and the advanced Bug. No manufacture due to the fact that why do we request manufacture erstwhile Germany already has it?
And finally, 1 more reflection. Tusk announced that TVN should be protected “against aggressive and dangerous, taking over from the interests of the stateIt’s okay. ” TVN, in which 1 of the mainstream celebrities bathed the Polish Flag in dog feces. Can you imagine anything more dangerous from the point of view of the state's interests than TVN's current activity? From the interests of the Polish state? Unless Tusk thought of another country, after all his name in his speech did not reveal.
