Article L132-20-2 of the French Intellectual Property Code

Mediators are set up in order to promote, without prejudice to the right of the parties to take legal action, the resolution of disputes relating to the granting of the authorisation for simultaneous, unabridged and unchanged retransmission referred to in articles L. 132-20-1 and L. 132-20-3.

Failing an amicable agreement, the Mediator may propose to the parties the solution he considers appropriate, which the parties shall be deemed to have accepted unless they express their opposition in writing within a period of three months.

A decree in the Conseil d’Etat shall specify the conditions of application of this article and the procedures for appointing mediators.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article L132-20-2

Des médiateurs sont institués afin de favoriser, sans préjudice du droit des parties de saisir le juge, la résolution des litiges relatifs à l’octroi de l’autorisation de retransmission, simultanée, intégrale et sans changement visée aux articles L. 132-20-1 et L. 132-20-3.

A défaut d’accord amiable, le Médiateur peut proposer aux parties la solution qui lui paraît appropriée, que celles-ci sont réputées avoir acceptée faute d’avoir exprimé leur opposition par écrit dans un délai de trois mois.

Un décret en Conseil d’Etat précise les conditions d’application du présent article et les modalités de désignation des médiateurs.
