UPDATE 25 September: Extended until the end of the year (31/12). Moreover, the possibility will also be offered to those responding to answer in another EU language than the ones of the consultation (EN, FR and DE).
Dear Sir/Madam,
We would like to inform you about the targeted consultation on the exercise of rights of performers and producers in the audiovisual sector published on the Commission’s website. The consultation will be open until the 31st of December. Your contribution would be very welcome, and we ask you kindly to please forward this email to anyone else in your network who might also want to provide feedback.
The aim of this targeted consultation is to gather relevant data on current market practices and on the exercise of rights of performers and producers in the audiovisual sector. The Commission will analyse these data in preparation of a report assessing the possible need for an extension of the term of protection of the rights of performers and producers in this sector, as required by Article 3(2) of Directive 2011/77EU.
This consultation is addressed at those engaged in the management of rights in the audiovisual sector. It mainly concerns performers and producers who are holders of related rights and their contractual partners such as broadcasters, distributors, sales agents, online platforms and cultural heritage institutions.
Please do not hesitate to contact Ms. Caroline Colin, Policy and Legal Officer-Copyright Unit, European Commission (caroline.colin1@ec.europa.eu) should you have any questions.
Best regards,
DCHE Secretariat
