There is no requirement for legal authorisation as a condition for print publications. Section 37 of the Press Law makes provisions for the inclusion of such entities into a directory, but this is merely an administrative procedure and should therefore not be misinterpreted as an authorisation requirement. This procedure is applicable to the establishment of all media companies, regardless of their nature. In addition to this requirement for registration under the Press Law, media companies are also subject to “other applicable legislation, namely commercial legislation”. Paragraph 2 of section 38 of the Press Law lays down that an obligatory directory for prior registration of periodic publications will be provided and made accessible to the general public, which goes to show once again that this is merely an administrative procedure.
