3. Question

4. Please state whether your legislation provides for a rental right and, if so, the works to which it applies.

4. Answer

The rental right is available under the existing law through the right of free exploitation provided for in Article 14 of the 1992 Copyright Law. The rental right applies to all copyrights except for the computer program if the program does not constitute itself the main subject of the rental. It does not apply also to cinematography works unless the rental right is affecting their normal exploitation.
