Translations are provided as a service to Arcom users and are supplied “as is”, throught the DeepL tool. Consequently, only the text of the original version is authentic.
Arcom was alerted to a documentary showing dolphins being accidentally killed, which was shown on the France 24 program Focus on July 28, 2022.
It noted that the documentary was intended to publicize the actions of an NGO whose mission was to denounce certain non-selective fishing practices, and considered that the sequence in question did not constitute a breach of the channel's obligations.
Consequently, the Authority did not take any action against the service editor.
