Referendum deadline for RTVG rescheduled
Due to an error in the German-language version, the referendum deadline for the new Radio and Television Act (RTVG) has been rescheduled.
Due to an error in the German-language version, the referendum deadline for the new Radio and Television Act (RTVA) has been rescheduled. As announced by the Federal Chancellery on Tuesday, the renewed 100-day referendum period ends on October 26, 2006.
A mistake has crept into the legal text that distorts the meaning. Article 83 reads "the appeal is admissible against ..." instead of "the appeal is inadmissible against ...".
The totally revised RTVA was passed by the Federal Parliament on March 24, 2006, but the referendum deadline of July 13 expired unused.
