A regulação dos meios de comunicação social baseia-se em três pilares: liberdade de expressão, direito à informação e necessidade de limites para acautelar o respeito dos direitos fundamentais. Em caso de conteúdos violentos que coloquem em perigo a dignidade humana e o correto desenvolvimento da personalidade dos jovens, o enquadramento jurídico português apresenta soluções de hétero-, co- e autorregulação que aceitam uma abordagem precaucionaria para proibir programas agressivos.   PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Media; Violência; Heterorregulação; Co-regulação; Autorregulação.

This chapter provides a critical analysis of the legal framework for access to information particularly information held by government in Tanzania. The analysis intends to establish whether the existing Right To Information (RTI) legal framework and ICT development in Tanzania facilitates universal and requisite access to government information. In order to do that, the chapter utilises a literature review to understand contemporary trends in both theory and practice. In addition, journal articles, books, reports, case law, and pieces of legislation focusing on RTI are visited to obtain deeper insights in the topic under scrutiny. The findings indicate that, despite Tanzania's efforts to embrace democracy virtues, good governance, and technology, the country lacks adequate legal framework to facilitate universal access to government information and ensure that the Right To Information (RTI) is observed in all the socio-economic contexts. To rectify this problem, there is need to enact the RTI law with clear focus of encouraging access to government information. Although two bills (the Media Service Bill [MSB] and the 2011 RTI) are currently being debated, it is not clear yet when they will become law and subsequently practiced.

La aplicación indiscriminada de la normativa sobre el derecho a la protección de datos de carácter personal a los medios de comunicación puede suponer una restricción excesiva de la libertad de información, uno de los elementos más característicos del patrimonio jurídico de las sociedades democráticas. En el intento de lograr un equilibrio entre ambos derechos fundamentales, el régimen europeo en materia de protección de datos —la actual Directiva 95/46/CE y la Propuesta de Reglamento General de Protección de Datos— contemplan la denominada excepción periodística que autoriza a los Estados miembros a establecer limitaciones a la aplicación de determinadas disposiciones. El presente artículo analiza el concepto y alcance de la mencionada excepción en las normas europeas y en las legislaciones de los Estados miembros que, en transposición de la Directiva, han incorporado el reconocimiento de la excepción periodística.Indiscriminate application to the media of the rules on the right to data protection may cause excessive restriction of freedom of information, one of the most characteristic items of the legal heritage of democratic societies. In an attempt to strike a balance between the two fundamental rights, the European legal framework for the protection of personal data — the current Directive 95/46/EC and the proposed General Data Protection Regulation — provide for the so-called journalism exemption which allows Member States to establish exemptions to the application of certain provisions. This article analyses the concept and scope of this exemption in the European regulations and in the legislation of the Member States which have transposed the Directive into their national law and have thus incorporated recognition of the journalism exemption.

The article examines, in a comparative perspective, both legal framework of the European Union and Council of Europe and case law of the Court of Justice of European Union and European Court of Human Rights in order to highlight superior level of the right to a healthy environment European protection. The multitude of concepts related to the environmental protection and their connections require compulsory conceptual delimitations. As other international and regional organizations, the European Union expresses interest in environmental protection, consecrating to it numerous legal instruments, the most relevant of these, in terms of human rights, being the Charter of Fundamental Rights, in which (Article 37) is provided expressly that environmental protection is a fundamental right, unlike the Council of Europe where this right is recognized only as an indirect right. Affiliation of this right to a certain category of rights – global rights, solidarity rights or individual or collective rights – has been a source of both doctrinal and jurisprudential disputes. Genuine interdependence with other fundamental rights such as the right to life, the right to private and family life, right to property and right to information ensues from the substance of the right to protection of the environment. The presentation of the principles which outline the content of the right in discussion emphasizes that the Charter text was drafted in accordance with the latest developments in the field of normative and jurisprudential environment established at international, regional and national levels, respectively, in interaction with the principle of sustainable development. Finally, an analysis of the most frequent modalities of environmental degradation contributes to find proper mechanisms for a better guarantee of the respect of environmental protection as a fundamental right.

The legal framework of the parliamentary right of interpellation and the executive’s obligation to respond to these questions has traditionally been a field of contention between the government and the opposition . The Federal Constitutional Court has recently issued several decisions that have again concretized and expanded this framework . The number of parliamentary questions, which has been high for decades, has once more reached a new dimension in the current Bundestag’s legislative period and has led to demands for a legal limitation . Its feasibility is constitutionally controversial . The right to information under press law competes with the parliamentary right to ask questions and the executive’s obligation to respond . There is no legal claim of the questioner to be the first to use the answer in the media . However, it is good practice within a parliamentary system for the government not to thwart this practice .
