The Italian government backed off on a threatened shutdown of Vatican Radio and said it would give the broadcaster until the end of the month to negotiate a reduction in its electromagnetic emissions.
Vatican Radio, which was to be shut down next week, said it was satisfied with the decision.
The announcement came after a nearly five-hour meeting of government ministers over the dispute, which was sparked by health concerns of residents living near Vatican Radio’s transmitters.
