Resumen de Cyprus: : Validity of temporary TV licences extended for one more year
On 26 June 2015, Law 94(I)/2015 amending Law 7(I)/1998 on Radio and Television Organisations was published in the Official Gazette. It extends the validity of TV licences for all operating service providers for one more year. Following the switch-over to digital television on 1 July 2011, the existing licences for analogue transmission were replaced by temporary licences for digital transmission valid until 30 June 2012. Since then, due to pending amendments to the basic Law 7(I)/1998 to respond to the conditions of the new environment and to make possible the issuance of permanent licences, temporary ones have been renewed each year for one more year. Thus, the validity of the temporary TV licences is extended until 30 June 2016
