Leveson: EU Wants Power to Sack Journalists

The “high level” recommendations that will be used to draft future EU
legislation also attack David Cameron for failing to automatically implement
proposals by the Lord Justice Leveson inquiry for a state regulation of
British press.
A "high level" EU panel, that includes Latvia’s former president and a former German justice minister, was ordered by Neelie Kroes, European Commission vice-president, last year to report on "media freedom and pluralism". It has concluded that it is time to introduce new rules to rein in the press.
