Article 19(1) permits, without the author's or rightsholder's consent and without payment but with mandatory attribution of the author and source, quotation in the original or in translation for scientific, research, polemical, critical or informational purposes from lawfully published works, to an extent justified by the purpose of the quotation, including the reproduction of excerpts from newspaper and magazine articles in the form of press reviews.
Article 19(3) separately permits reproducing in newspapers, or communicating by broadcast or cable to the public, lawfully published newspaper or magazine articles on current economic, political, social and religious topics, or broadcast works of the same character, in cases where the author has not specially prohibited such reproduction, broadcast or cable communication, so the exception is an author opt-out rather than an unconditional licence.
Article 19 carries no headline-length or short-extract cap distinct from the fair-practice and purpose-justified tests in its own text. The Article's heading and adjoining provisions were most recently touched by Law No. 233-VIII (24 November 2025), a terminology-only amendment on the text read.
