According to article 1.5 of the Spanish Civil Code, International Treaties cannot be directly applied in Spain until they have been published in the Boletín Oficial del Estado (BOE - Spanish Official Journal). On 22 April, the Spanish Instrument of Ratification of the 1989 European Convention on Transfrontier Television, including the full text of the Convention, was published finally in the BOE. The aim of the Convention is to facilitate transfrontier transmission and retransmission of television programme services among the Members States of the Council of Europe that are signatories of the Convention.
