RECTIFICATION: Wrong listing of when States became Party to the Convention relating to the distribution of programme-carrying signals transmitted by satellite (IRIS 1996-5: 8)

In IRIS 1996-5: 7-10 we published an overview of the state of Signatures and Ratifications of European Conventions and other international treaties that are relevant to the audiovisual sector. The listing of when States became Party to the Convention relating to the distribution of programme-carrying signals transmitted by satellite (printed on page 8) is, however, not correct. Accidentily it reproduces the dates on which States became Party to the Berne Convention for the protection of copyright of literary and artistic works (as printed on page 7).

The correct date on which States became Party to the Convention relating to the distribution of programme-carrying signals transmitted by satellite are as follows: State Date on which the State became Party to the Convention Belgique 06/08/1982 Allemagne 25/08/1979 Grèce 22/10/1991 Italie 07/07/1981 Portugal 11/03/1996 Russie 25/12/1991 Slovénie 25/06/1991 Suisse 24/12/1993 Bosnie-Herzégovine 06/03/1992 Croatie 08/10/1991
