Bill No. 35821/2012, October 26, 2012, amending the Electronic Communications and Transactions Act

(1) introducing into the notice and takedown procedure identified in section 77 the opportunity for the ISP (and not the alleged infringer) to respond in writing to a first take-down notice within 10 business days (but the period may be reduced in cases of urgency), and the obligation for the complainant to give due consideration to such response; 

(2) empowering the complainant to issue a so called “final takedown notice”, if the complaint has not been resolved to his satisfaction or if no response is received in the above mentioned time period; 

(3) establishing  potential liability “for a related offence” (sic!) when a service provider does not comply with a final takedown notice within 10 business days.
