  "text": "(This note is not part of the Order)\nThis Order amends article 3 of the Broadcasting (Independent Productions) Order 1991 which defines “independent productions” for the purposes of the licence conditions set under sections 277 and 309 of and paragraphs 1 and 7 of Schedule 12 to the Communications Act 2003.\nThe amendments in this Order ensure that production companies owned by non-UK broadcasters can still qualify as independent producers for the purpose of the quotas imposed by licence condition on the UK’s public service broadcasters. The amendments also preserve independent status for producers who are connected to a person who owns, or is owned by, a broadcaster which does not aim its services primarily at the UK.\nNo impact assessment has been produced for this Order as this Order will have no impact on businesses, charities or the public sector.",
