In the draft resolution, after paragraph 8, insert the following paragraph:

"The use for foreign political propaganda purposes of media owned by the Russian Federation government poses a new threat to the freedom of the media and the functioning of the media market in several Council of Europe member States and needs to be combated through the introduction of new guidelines and regulations taking into account existing Council of Europe standards in the field of freedom of the media."
