French Ad Agencies Sue EU Over TV Advertising Rules
The ADMTV is challenging a French law. This law stops big stores from advertising sales on TV. They want the European Commission to change the rules.
In 1992, France made a rule. It said big stores couldn't advertise special offers on television. The ADMTV, a group for advertising companies, disagrees with this rule. They believe it is too strict. They are asking the European Commission to allow these advertisements. This would change the rules in France.
