3.4.

The body’s decisions on licensing in particular are informed
by a broadcasting policy developed in a transparent and 		
inclusive manner.

Analysis:
There is no regulating body as such in Mozambique. There is the
INCM that has the responsibility of granting frequencies. This body
operates based on two legal instruments. The INCM was the arm of
the Transport and Communications Ministry and there was a decree
that laid down its responsibility for the radio electrical Spectrum
of the country. Another Decree from 1992 regulates the access to
frequencies. The Information Office (Gabinete de Informação) (GABINFO) confines itself to confirm that the requesting media organisation is in compliance with the Media Law.
