On 28 November 1997 Latvia signed the European Convention on Transfrontier Television. When this issue closed, Spain was expected to deposit its instrument of ratification on 19 February 1998. Article 29, paragraph 4 of the Convention stipulates that it shall enter into force in the country concerned on the first day of the month following expiry of a period of three months after the date of deposit of the instrument of ratification, acceptance or approval. The Convention should therefore come into force in Spain on 1 June 1998.
