Arcom was alerted about the program Un dimanche à la campagne, shown on France 2 on November 6, 2022, during which a guest shared his experience of fatherhood, made possible by surrogate motherhood in the United States.
In the light of the guest's comments, which were limited to sharing his personal experience, it considered that this program did not contribute to the provision of information. Consequently, the deliberation of April 18, 2018 relating to the honesty and independence of news and news programmes is not applicable in this case. There was therefore no need for the publisher to present different points of view on the subject of surrogate motherhood.
Consequently, the Authority did not intervene against the service editor.
