2.4 Legislation on audio-visual communication has been adopted, applied and envisages a favourable environment for public, commercial and community programmes. Analysis: Note has to be taken that in Mali the creation of audio-visual organs, radios in particular, has preceded the laws. Various legislative and regulatory laws exist formally, favouring a diversity of programmes. Namely: Decree no. 92-022 determining the conditions and procedures to obtain, suspend or recess the authorisation to create a private sound broadcasting service by a hertz ground line in frequency modulation; Ordinance no. 92-337/P-CTSP regarding the authorisation to create private audiovisual communication services; Interministerial Order no. 92 Mc-Mat/Ctsp/Ass-Mscp setting the specifications for private broadcasting services by a hertz ground line in frequency modulation. Order no. 95 0331 Mfc-Cab setting the fees applicable to private audio-visual communication services; Decree no. 02-227/P-RM of 10 May 2002 regarding the status type of private sound broadcasting services by a hertz ground line in frequency modulation; Decree no. 03-264/P-RM of 7 July 2003 determining the conditions of eligibility, attribution and management of public aid to the press.
