Jean-David Rodney, the Director General of the National Council of Telecommunications (CONATEL) informs that following discussions with media associations in the summer of 2017, the owners of radio stations under the supervision of the Council, that as part of the process of legalization of radio stations regularly installed in the country, a draft concession contract has been drawn up.

Radio stations are invited to send their comments on this draft concession contract to CONATEL by 30 January 2018. CONATEL will then consolidate the received recommendations in order to have a concession contract reflecting the comfort of all stakeholders of the sound and television broadcasting sub-sector.

The regularly established stations will be invited thereafter to sign this concession agreement, in accordance with the provisions of articles 59 and 60 of the decree of October 12, 1977 granting to the Haitian State the monopoly of telecommunications services, for the purpose of obtaining the status of legal station in a harmonized ecosystem.
