Expedited press handling does not apply to foreseeable or recurring events

In plain language

Planned or annual events do not qualify for the fast-track press route. The exception is if a planned event changes character because of what others do, so late that a normal application can no longer be filed in time.

Requirement as structured

The expedited route in § 30 a, stk. 1 does not apply to news events the press knows will take place, including events of news value that occur every year. Where such a foreseeable event changes character because of the actions of other parties, an application may still be submitted under stk. 1 if the change occurs so close to the day of the event that the press can no longer submit an application for permission to fly under the rules in chapters 3 and 4.

Original regulatory text

Stk. 2. Stk. 1 finder ikke anvendelse ved nyheder, som pressen ved vil finde sted, herunder situationer af nyhedsværdi, der finder sted hvert år. Hvis en situation, som pressen ved vil finde sted og derfor kan planlægge deres dækning af, ændrer karakter på grund af andre aktørers handlinger, kan en ansøgning indsendes efter stk. 1, hvis ændringen sker så tæt på dagen, hvor situationen finder sted, at pressen ikke længere kan nå at sende en ansøgning om tilladelse til flyvning med drone i området efter reglerne i kapitel 3 og 4.
