have been issued under the provisions of Article 5,
paragraph three; or
7. if the typographical appearance of the masthead of the
periodical so resembles the masthead of another
periodical for which a certificate has already been
issued that the two may easily be confused and the
matter is not rectified forthwith.
A decision to rescind a certificate is taken by the authority
referred to in Article 4. In matters under paragraph one, points
2 to 7, the owner and the responsible editor are given an
opportunity, if possible, to put forward their views.
Art. 7. If a certificate of no legal impediment to publication has
been rescinded on account of a circumstance under Article 6,
paragraph one, point 2, 3, 5 or 7, or if the certificate has been
declared to have lapsed, a certificate in respect of another
periodical whose masthead so resembles the masthead of the
original periodical that the two may easily be confused may not
be issued without the owner’s consent, until two years have
elapsed from the date on which the certificate was rescinded or
lapsed.
Art. 8. If a responsible editor is no longer qualified, or if his or
her appointment as a responsible editor has otherwise been
terminated, it is the responsibility of the owner to provide
forthwith for the appointment of a new responsible editor and
to notify the appointment to the authority referred to in Article
4. The provisions of Article 4 apply to such notification, which
shall be accompanied, if possible, by proof that the previous
responsible editor has been informed of the notification of a
new name.
If the place of publication or the publishing schedule changes,
the owner shall notify the authority referred to in Article 4
forthwith.
Art. 9. The responsible editor of a periodical may have one or
more deputies. These deputies are appointed by the responsible
editor. When a deputy is appointed, the authority referred to in
Article 4 shall be notified accordingly. Notification shall be
accompanied by proof that the deputy has the required
qualifications for a responsible editor, by a declaration from the
deputy that he or she has accepted the appointment and by a
statement from the owner that he or she has approved the
deputy.
