² The or­gan­iser of a pub­lic event and the broad­caster be­ne­fit­ing from first ex­ploit­a­tion or ex­clus­ive rights are ob­liged to provide any in­ter­ested broad­caster with the pos­sib­il­ity of short re­port­ing.

³ They shall give in­ter­ested broad­casters:

a.

ac­cess to the event, in so far as tech­nic­al and spa­tial cir­cum­stances per­mit; and

b.

the de­sired parts of the trans­mis­sion sig­nal un­der ap­pro­pri­ate con­di­tions.

⁴ With ref­er­ence to Art­icle 90, OF­COM may or­der or­gan­isers of a pub­lic event and broad­casters with first or ex­clus­ive rights to take ap­pro­pri­ate meas­ures to en­sure ex­er­cise of the right of short re­port­ing.
