Goldston, executive director of the Open Society Justice Initiative, said: "This case highlights the failure of Italian governments that have followed over time to address the twin problems of control of the media focused on a single person and the conflict of interest in broadcasting. The Italian situation is unacceptable for a democracy and we ask the European Court to uphold the principles of media pluralism. "
In 1999 the Italian authorities granted to" Europa 7 "a license to operate through a national television station but this operation has never failed to materialize until December 2008 when it was supposed to leave at a frequency of her intended. In reality, "Europa 7" still was not in a position to operate.

Goldston adds, " Italy has the highest concentration of centralized control in a single television individual than the rest of Europe. This lack of diversity may stifle debate and limit public access to information and critical perspectives .
As Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi indirectly controls the state public television, RAI, which together with its more direct ownership, Mediaset, which allows him to exercise control over about 90% of television on Italian territory.

In 2004 both the Council of Europe that the European Parliament have condemned the open conflict of interests that Berlusconi has because of his private and professional interests of its political responsibilities, but since then the situation persists unchanged and this fact has meant that the current government was repeatedly accused of undue interference with the editorial choices of RAI, Mediaset empire financial direct competitor of Berlusconi.
