98. The jurisdiction of the arts council extends to every municipal corporation whose territory is wholly or partly situated within a radius of fifty kilometres from the territorial limits of the Community and which has expressed the wish therefor by a resolution of its council transmitted to the secretary general of the Community.
The council of such a municipal corporation is empowered to pass the resolution provided for in the first paragraph.
The resolution remains in force for a period of three years; it is thereafter renewed by tacit renewal every three years for a new period of three years unless the municipal corporation has given to the secretary general of the Community a notice to the contrary effect at least six months before the date of expiration of the three-year period then in progress.
The arts council has jurisdiction in respect of the municipal corporation as long as the resolution remains in force.
