I'd would very much like to be kept in the loop, although our current CRM legislation already allows each CRM member to take single works and or or specific exploitation of rights (eg online) out of the CRM repertoire and either manage the rights themselves or give them to another agent. Of course we'd like to keep it that way.

Best regards,

Dear fellow EU folks (the others can probably skip this),

the recent Collective Management Directive of the EU is due for national implementation with a deadline in 2016. That's why many governments and parliamentary committees are busy drafting around this, holding expert consultations and so on. Probably several of you will be consulted in this by your national institutions or have been consulted already (f.e. the teams in the UK and Germany).

As the mode of implementation of the CRM Directive might quite heavily influence whether CC licenses will be a realistic option for Europe's artists in the future, the Legals and we as RCs would like to provide all the support that you need for this legislative process. Ideally each Affiliate Team will have easy access to all CC-relevant things to keep in mind for the implementation and teams can exchange those and discuss. In the end this might also help us as a group to speak wirh (sort of) one voice.

So here goes:

Please let Gwen and me know If you have already taken part in CRM Directive consultations, are expecting to do so or would otherwise like to be part of the coordination effort.

Best

John & Gwen
