21. REGULATION OF DISTRIBUTION OF
NEWSPAPERS, MAGAZINES OR PUBLICATIONS
There is no specific law or regulation in this respect.
With respect to newspaper distributors, Article 1790 and subsequent
articles of the Civil Code, which regulate ?atypical? contracts,
are applied as supplementary, as well as Article 237 and subsequent
articles of the Commercial Code when addressing a mercantile commission.
With respect to newspaper street vendors, Law 10,674 of October
5, 1946, established that it was a function of the State to protect
and assist newspaper and magazine street vendors. Article 80 of
this law states: ?The interference of intermediaries between the
publishing firms and charitable associations and the street vendors
of newspapers and lottery is prohibited.? Not included in this provision
are the direct agents of newspapers and lottery that ?are published
and sent to a place other than its retail shops.?
It is mandatory for newspaper companies headquartered in Lima
that publish a morning newspaper to provide their street vendors
daily breakfast, while those that publish an evening newspaper to
provide them with daily tea service.
