22 such cases the licence holder remains responsible for ensuring that the radio transmitter is used in accordance with the licence terms. If the licence holder merges with another limited liability company as referred to in the Companies Act (624/2006), the radio licence will be transferred to the receiving undertaking. If the business activity performed by the licence holder and to which the radio licence pertains is given up completely, the radio licence will be transferred to the receiving party. If the holder of the radio licence is declared bankrupt and the administration of the bankrupt’s estate notifies Ficora without delay that the estate is to continue the business activity of the licence holder, the radio licence will be transferred to the bankrupt’s estate. Section 49 Cancellation of radio licences and frequency reservations Ficora may, in full or in part, cancel a radio licence or a frequency reservation, if: 1) the licence holder, despite the measures laid down in sections 330–332, seriously or repeatedly violates this Act or the provisions, regulations or licence terms issued by virtue of it in a way that is significant in terms of maintaining interference-free radio communications, or significantly violates the obligation to pay for a radio licence or radio frequency reservation; 2) the licence holder, deliberately or through negligence, transmits a false distress signal referred to in section 10 of Chapter 34 of the Criminal Code (39/1889), or disturbs or harms safety radio communications in some other way; 3) the licence holder does not use the radio frequencies allocated in the licence and fails to start using them within a reasonable time limit set by Ficora; 4) a radio transmitter uses radio frequencies in an inappropriate way on account of its technical characteristics; 5) the requirements referred to in section 96(6) for the secondary use of a frequency band in use of a licence holder are no longer being met; 6) a licence granted for television and radio broadcasting ceases to be valid; 7) a licence referred to in section 6 ceases to be valid; or 8) international treaties binding on Finland require such cancellation. No separate appeal can be made against the decision setting a time limit referred to in subsection 1(3) above. Section 50 Decision on interference protection Ficora may, upon application by a radio frequency user, decide on measures to protect a fixed radio receiving station against interference if the decision can be made without causing unreasonable economic or other damage to other users of radio frequencies in comparison with the advantage to be obtained through the protection. In the decision, which will remain in force for up to 10 years at a time, terms may be imposed on the construction, location and use of the station being protected. The decision may be cancelled or its terms amended if there is a significant change in the circumstances prevailing when the decision was made. PART III
