We are continuing consultations with operators authorized by AMA regarding the proposed amendments to the regulation “On the criteria and procedures for granting authorizations”.
The Audiovisual Media Authority Chairwoman, Ms. Armela Krasniqi, discussed with Digicom, Digitalb, Vodafone, ONE Albania and Tring legal representatives regarding the proposed amendments, which introduce new criteria for obtaining authorization.
The proposed amendments to the regulation include new strengthened legal measures to ensure that entities provide the services they are authorized for, as well as simplified measures concerning the documentation that audiovisual media service providers must submit in their authorization or renewal application.
AMA’s Chairwoman informed the participants that the aim of these amendments is to put an end to the manipulation of terrestrial signal distribution that violate licensing terms and broadcasting rights.
“At the same time, we remain committed to fighting any form of illegality that undermines competition and the rights holders”, emphasized Ms. Krasniqi.
So far, the consultation tour has extended to Dibër, Kukës, Lezhë, Elbasan, Durrës and Tirana regions and will continue in other regions across the country as well.
