Question 7: Page 28, Question 68/ 97: Please clarify where broadcasting organizations have the right to prohibit non-simultaneous broadcasting/communication to the public via wireless broadcasting.
Tajikistan's reply: Broadcasting organizations have the right to prohibit any simultaneous or non-simultaneous broadcasting/ communication to the public via wireless broadcasting in accordance with Berne Convention Article 11 and TRIPS. Please note that by the ratification of the Berne Convention and TRIPS, both became integral part of Tajikistan's internal legal system, which enabled their direct implementation. Furthermore, in case of any conflict between the ratified international agreement/ convention and the domestic legislation, ratified International agreement/ convention prevails.
