2. |
Are Articles 18 and 18a of Directive 89/552/EEC, as amended by Directive 97/36/EC, to be interpreted as meaning that, in view of the mandatory minimum duration of 15 minutes applicable to teleshopping windows, any other form of teleshopping, including windows lasting more than 3 minutes but less than 15 minutes, must be classified as a “teleshopping spot” subject to the hourly limits applicable to advertising spots? |
