"ordering" ? Typical anti EU bullshit and people like you are falling for it.

Some facts:
1. The ECRI is not the EU. Just like a British policeman is not the United Kingdom.
2. The ECRI doesn't have the power to order a country to do anything.
3. The article even calls it "recommendation" and that's exactly what this is.

I quoted the article-  the fact is the EU is trying to "lean on the Britts to censre its media- 

THe EU has caused a lot of problems for its member nations -  I understood it was supposed to help Europe compete better on a global scale but as is often the case politics have tainted the it

again, the ECRI is part of the EU. It is NOT the EU, therefore the EU is not trying to censor anyone's media.

What do you expect from these councils? They all have an obvious agenda. A women's council is trying to strengthen the rights of women and a council against racism and intolerance is trying to keep racism and intolerance at a minimum. Those council's exist in every country and they don't have any powers. They just publish recommendations and it's the government's job to read, consider or completely disregard these ideas for future laws.
There are also lots of multi national councils. The UN for example has tons of them and they publish recommendations all the time.
