IRIS 1999-8:1/14

Jarmila Grujbárová

Council of Slovakia for Radio and Television Broadcasting

Some issues relating to the mechanism of generating and collecting radio and television fees were regulated by Act No. 188/1999 of 6 July 1999 which has amended several provisions of the Act No. 212/1995 o koncesionárskych poplatkoch (on Radio and Television Fees) as amended and the Act on Pursuing of Radio and Television Broadcasting. The amended provisions define the group of legal and natural persons that are charged for broadcasting services and the group of persons receiving these services free of charge. The bodies entitled to collect radio and televisions fees are the Slovak Radio and Slovak Television. In order to fulfil this task, both bodies are going to be provided with information from the database of the Monthly Electricity Consumption Record. A completely new Act on Radio and Television Fees is considered to be submitted to the Parliament by the end of 1999.
