Relevant Recitals for this Article
Independent national regulatory authorities or bodies are key to the proper application of media law across the Union. While national regulatory authorities or bodies often do not have competence related to the press sector, they are best placed to ensure the correct application of the requirements related to regulatory cooperation and a well-functioning market for media services in general, as envisaged in this Regulation. National regulatory authorities or bodies should have the resources necessary for the fulfilment of their tasks in terms of staffing, expertise and financial means, including to enable their participation in the activities of the European Board for Media Services (the ‘Board’). They should be provided with technical resources, for instance relevant digital tools. Where appropriate, Member States should, to the extent necessary, increase the resources allocated to national regulatory authorities or bodies, taking into account the additional tasks conferred upon them under this Regulation. National regulatory authorities or bodies should also have appropriate powers, in particular to request information and data from any natural or legal person to which this Regulation applies or which, for purposes related to their trade, business or profession, might reasonably be in possession of the information and data needed, in respect of the rights and interests of such persons.
