3. Cualquier Estado Contratante podrá declarar, mediante notificación depositada en poder del Secretario General de las Naciones Unidas, que no aplicará el criterio de la publicación o el criterio de la fijación. La notificación podrá depositarse en el momento de la ratificación, de la aceptación o de la adhesión, o en cualquier otro momento; en este último caso, sólo surtirá efecto a los seis meses de la fecha de depósito.

La notificación podrá hacerse en el momento de la ratificación, de la aceptación o de la adhesión, o en cualquier otro momento; en este último caso, sólo surtirá efecto a los seis meses de la fecha de depósito.
Artículo 7
1. La protección prevista por la presente Convención en favor de los artistas intérpretes o ejecutantes comprenderá la facultad de impedir:
a) la radiodifusión y la comunicación al público de sus interpretaciones o ejecuciones para las que no hubieren dado su consentimiento, excepto cuando la interpretación o ejecución utilizada en la radiodifusión o comunicación al público constituya por sí misma una ejecución radiodifundida o se haga a partir de una fijación;

2) Las modalidades de la utilización por los organismos radiodifusores de las fijaciones hechas para las emisiones radiodifundidas, se determinarán con arreglo a la legislación nacional del Estado Contratante en que se solicite la protección.

Artículo 10
Los productores de fonogramas gozarán del derecho de autorizar o prohibir la reproducción directa o indirecta de sus fonogramas.
Artículo 11
Cuando un Estado Contratante exija, con arreglo a su legislación nacional, como condición para proteger los derechos de los productores de fonogramas, de los artistas intérpretes o ejecutantes, o de unos y otros, en relación con los fonogramas, el cumplimiento de formalidades, se considerarán éstas satisfechas si todos los ejemplares del fonograma publicado y distribuído en el comercio, o sus envolturas, llevan una indicación consistente en el símbolo (P) acompañado del año de la primera publicación, colocados de manera y en sitio tales que muestren claramente que existe el derecho de reclamar la protección. Cuando los ejemplares o sus envolturas no permitan identificar al productor del fonograma o a la persona autorizada por éste (es decir, su nombre, marca comercial u otra designación apropiada), deberá mencionarse también el nombre del titular de los derechos del productor del fonograma. Además, cuando los ejemplares o sus envolturas no permitan identificar a los principales intérpretes o ejecutantes, deberá indicarse el nombre del titular de los derechos de dichos artistas en el país en que se haga la fijación.
Artículo 12
Cuando un fonograma publicado con fines comerciales o una reproducción de ese fonograma se utilicen directamente para la radiodifusión o para cualquier otra forma de comunicación al público, el utilizador abonará una remuneración equitativa y única a los artistas intérpretes o ejecutantes, o a los productores de fonogramas, o a unos y otros. La legislación nacional podrá, a falta de acuerdo entre ellos, determinar las condiciones en que se efectuará la distribución de esa remuneración.
Artículo 13
Los organismos de radiodifusión gozarán del derecho de autorizar o prohibir:
a) la retransmisión de sus emisiones;

d) la comunicación al público de sus emisiones de televisión cuando éstas se efectúen en lugares accesibles al público mediante el pago de un derecho de entrada. Corresponderá a la legislación nacional del país donde se solicite la protección de este derecho determinar las condiciones del ejercicio del mismo.
Artículo 14
La duración de la protección concedida en virtud de la presente Convención no podrá ser inferior a veinte años, contados a partir:
a) del final del año de la fijación, en lo que se refiere a los fonogramas y a las interpretaciones o ejecuciones grabadas en ellos;
b) del final del año en que se haya realizado la actuación, en lo que se refiere a las interpretaciones o ejecuciones que no estén grabadas en un fonograma;

Sin perjuicio de lo dispuesto en el párrafo 1 de este artículo, todo Estado Contratante podrá establecer en su legislación nacional y respecto a la protección de los artistas intérpretes o ejecutantes, de los productores de fonogramas y de los organismos de radiodifusión, limitaciones de la misma naturaleza que las establecidas en tal legislación nacional con respecto a la protección del derecho de autor sobre las obras literarias y artísticas. Sin embargo, no podrán establecerse licencias o autorizaciones obligatorias sino en la medida en que sean compatibles con las disposiciones de la presente Convención.
Artículo 16
1. Una vez que un Estado llegue a ser Parte en la presente Convención, aceptará todas las obligaciones y disfrutará de todas las ventajas previstas en la misma. Sin embargo, un Estado podrá indicar en cualquier momento, depositando en poder del Secretario General de las Naciones Unidas una notificación a este efecto:
a) en relación con el Artículo 12,
i) que no aplicará ninguna disposición de dicho artículo;
ii) que no aplicará las disposiciones de dicho artículo con respecto a determinadas utilizaciones;
iii) que no aplicará las disposiciones de dicho artículo con respecto a los fonogramas cuyo productor no sea nacional de un Estado Contratante;
iv) que, con respecto a los fonogramas cuyo productor sea nacional de otro Estado Contratante, limitará la amplitud y la duración de la protección prevista en dicho artículo en la medida en que lo haga ese Estado Contratante con respecto a los fonogramas fijados por primera vez por un nacional del Estado que haga la declaración; sin embargo, cuando el Estado Contratante del que sea nacional el productor no conceda la protección al mismo o a los mismos beneficiarios que el Estado Contratante que haga la declaración, no se considerará esta circunstancia como una diferencia en la amplitud con que se concede la protección;
b) en relación con el Artículo 13, que no aplicará la disposición del apartado d) de dicho Artículo. Si un Estado Contratante hace esa declaración, los demás Estados Contratantes no estarán obligados a conceder el derecho previsto en el apartado d) del Artículo 13 a los organismos de radiodifusión cuya sede se halle en aquel Estado.
2. Si la notificación a que se refiere el párrafo 1 de este artículo se depositare en una fecha posterior a la del depósito del instrumento de ratificación, de aceptación o de adhesión, sólo surtirá efecto a los seis meses de la fecha de depósito.
