Ahead of the vote on the European Media Freedom Act on 3 October, the EBU and 13 media organizations have shared an open letter calling on all MEPs and political groups to support the CULT compromise package.

We further urge MEPs to refrain from supporting amendments that are not part of the CULT compromise package.
