• Resumen

  • On 5 November 2014, the Independent Audiovisual Authority of Luxembourg (Autorité luxembourgeoise indépendante de l�audiovisuel - ALIA) issued its second decision which falls in the category of �decisions to be published� since it has been established by the law of August 2013 (see IRIS 2013-10/32). In its first published decision of February 2014, ALIA rejected an application for a new radio station (see IRIS 2014-7/27). This new decision concerns a programme transmitted on television in Belgium. The complaint, which was originally brought before the Belgian regulatory authority of the French Community, the Audiovisual Regulatory Authority (Conseil Supérieur de l�Audiovisuel), was transferred to the Luxembourgish regulator which is competent to hear the case. According to the Audiovisual Media Services Directive (Art. 2 AVMSD), the country where the broadcaster is established has jurisdiction. The programme in question was disseminated on RTL TVi, the license holder of which is RTL Belux, established in Luxembourg.
