At the end of 2016 the new government of the Republic of Poland also took up this topic with the view to returning to work on the restrictions of foreign shareholders in Polish media companies. France was recommended as a model to imitate both in KRRiT analysis of 2015 and the present comparison of Poland to France. The topic of the article concerns thus the answers to the questions: What are the restrictions in Poland and France? What do the differences derive from? Can French media system be uncritically imitated, as it happened in case of many other media situations?
