14. The Commission is not required to convene a public hearing unless an interested person who objects to the issue of a licence establishes to the satisfaction of the Commission that the carrying on of the activities for which the licence is sought would be likely to have a detrimental effect on the public interest.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Commission shall convene a public hearing where an interested person who objects to the issue of the licence establishes, to the satisfaction of the Commission, that the carrying on of the activities for which the licence is sought will affect the services he is providing to users under his licence to the point of being likely to have a detrimental effect on the public interest; in no case, however, may a decrease in business or income that could be caused by the carrying on of the activities for which the licence is sought be considered as being likely to have a detrimental effect on the public interest.
