Not as such. However, in ECRI's third national report on Denmark, § 106, the Committee noted that "any signs of being different are increasingly being perceived as resistance to integration. In this regard, the Danish Broadcasting Corporation will, for example close down its foreign language services. As with many of the measures mentioned above, this decision will in fact have the opposite effect to the stated aim of improving minority groups’ integration, as members of these groups will now most likely turn to foreign radio and television stations. In conclusion, ECRI reiterates that the onus is on the political leadership as well as those who transmit their message, namely the media to ensure that equality between all members of society is brought about by inclusion and mutual respect". |
