On 15 September 1998 the European Parliament via the consultation procedure approved the European Commission's proposal for the decision of the Council of the European Union on the Participation of Cyprus in the MEDIA II Programme ( see IRIS 1998-7: 6). The Parliament gave its approval on condition that the European Commission amend the recital of the proposal among others regarding language confirming Cyprus' compliance with the "Television Without Frontiers" Directive (97/36/EEC, OJ L 202, 30 July1997, p.60).
