5 5° facilitate and encourage private sector participation in telecommunications investment; 6° ensure compliance with the provisions of this law; 7° have due regard to the security of the Republic and national defence when carrying out its work when this is required; 8° do anything reasonably incidental to the objectives of the Regulatory Board as set out in this Article. Article 4 The President of the Republic, by Presidential decree determines the specific duties to be carried out by the Regulatory Board in order to give effect to Article 3 of this law. CHAPTER III. LICESES Article 5 Except as required by the provisions of Article 10 of this law, every natural person and organization which wishes to install a telecommunications network and/or provide a telecommunications service within, to or from the Republic, should: 1° fulfill the conditions required by law for the carrying out of trade within the Republic; 2° first obtain a telecommunications license. Applications for the grant of a license are made to the Regulatory Board as required by law and should include all requirements in the correct and due form and set out the information required by the Regulatory Board. Applications are accompanied by the fee prescribed by the Regulatory Board. The Regulatory Board then considers the application. Standard licenses will be issued by the Regulatory Board. Individual licenses are granted by the competent authority on advice from the Regulatory Board. The competent authority may delegate the responsibility for issuing individual licenses to the Regulatory Board. All licenses are granted on an open and objective basis, without discrimination against any applicant for a license. Licenses are only refused for the reasons set out in Article 8 of this law. The Minister acting on advice from the Regulatory Board determines the conditions which should be incorporated in licenses and issues these by Ministerial decree. Licenses granted to dominant organizations are subject to more onerous conditions than those granted to other providers of telecommunications networks and telecommunications services . Licenses are issued within four weeks for the grant of a standard license and three months for the grant of an individual license from the submission of a valid and complete application for a license and provided that the applicant has first paid any initial license fee required by the Regulatory Board. If a license is not issued within that time, and the applicant has not received written notice from the Regulatory Board explaining and justifying the delay, and stating when the license will be issued, the applicant for the license should apply to the court for an order that the license should be granted.
