rights, if the public service broadcaster wishes to acquire \u00a0such rights and should the independent producer wish to make them available.<\/p>\n<p>In the interest of the transparency, the code shall set out the public service broadcaster principles on approach to negotiation of production funding to be provided by a broadcaster.\u00a0 Typically a production fee shall be included in the production funding.<\/p>\n<p>Recognising the statutory obligations of the public service broadcaster in relation to public service objects and recognising the legitimate commercial expectations of the
