Billposting: City of Bern and APG agree on interim solution
Posters will continue to be displayed in Bern in 2010. As an interim solution, the Allgemeine Plakatgesellschaft (APG) will remain responsible for this for the time being.
The municipal council of the city of Bern has now approved the arrangement, as reported by SDA on Thursday. The parties have agreed not to disclose the terms of the solution. It was the result of constructive discussions with both applicants and prevents lengthy legal disputes. In addition, the seamless continuation of public billposting is guaranteed, according to the statement. The concession for the years 2011 to 2015 will be put out to tender again in spring 2010.
Last September, the city of Bern put the billposting concession for the years 2010 to 2014 out to tender. Two applicants came forward, APG and the Clear Channel Outdoor Group. The latter criticized the late timing of the tender and lodged an appeal.
