Ms Eleanor Bleahene:

Absolutely, we negotiate on the basis of FRAND, that is to say, fair, reasonable and non-discriminatory terms. What we are seeking by way of legislative amendment is the ability to request payment terms with two particular words "and payment". It is a simple amendment.

There are constraints to this. There are mutual benefits, including for a platform and content provider such as RTE. Our relationship is characterised by mutual dependency. We rely on each other. As Mr. Horsman and Ms McCabe have outlined, we can negotiate under the umbrella of FRAND.
