Article 5 The commercial exploitation of videograms shall require the prior grant of a certificate issued by the Director of the Moroccan Cinematographic Center, upon the advice of a commission known as the “Commission for the Viewing of Videograms”, which shall meet at said Center. This Commission, which shall be chaired by the Director of the Moroccan Cinematographic Center or his representative, shall further comprise two representatives of the administration and two representatives of the most representative professional organizations, one of whom shall represent the producers and the other the distributors of videograms. The Commission for the Viewing of Videograms shall validly deliberate where the majority of its members are present. It shall take decisions by a majority of the votes cast by members present. In case of a tie, the President shall have the casting vote. The certificate of the Moroccan Cinematographic Center shall be granted or refused within a maximum of 10 days as from the date on which the person concerned filed the request for authorization, as attested by a receipt. Any refusal to grant a certificate or any cuts in the content of the videograms presented must be justified and brought to the attention of the persons concerned by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt. The person concerned may appeal this decision to the administrative tribunals, if he deems it unjust. Article 6 Any production of videograms for the purpose of commercial exploitation shall require a production authorization known as an “authorization to film” granted, on the conditions provided for in Article 5 above, by the Director of the Moroccan Cinematographic Center, in the light of the screenplay or the synopsis of the film to be produced presented by the producer concerned. The authorization to film may be valid for all or part of the national territory. Article 7 No videogram may be placed in commercial exploitation if it does not bear the mark of the certificate of the Moroccan Cinematographic Center or if it is in a version other than the one which was granted a certificate by the Commission referred to in Article 5 above. Article 8 It shall be unlawful: - to organize showings of videograms in public places such as cafes or similar establishments; to produce or circulate videograms for commercial purposes, without holding the rights of exploitation, without prejudice to the legislation relating to the protection of artistic works and international conventions to which the Kingdom of Morocco has acceded and duly published.
