Amendment 47 #
Proposal for a directive – amending act
Recital 17
(17) Since the objectives of the proposed accompanying measures cannot be sufficiently achieved by the Member States, as national measures in that field would either lead to distortion of the conditions of competition or affect the scope of exclusive rights of the phonogram producer which are defined by Community legislation and can therefore, be better achieved at Community level, the Community may adopt measures, in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity as set out in Article 5 of the Treaty. In accordance with the principle of proportionality, as set out in that Article, this directive does not go beyond what is necessary in order to achieve those objectives. Among the accompanying transitional measures is also the mandatory collective exercise of the rights of performers and phonogram producers concerning on-demand services by broadcasters of their radio or television productions of which music from lawfully published phonograms is an integral part. This system of collective rights management complements the remuneration regime for the broadcasting of lawfully published phonograms under Article 8(2) of Directive 2006/115/EC and guarantees that, throughout the full term of protection of lawfully published phonograms, the relevant performers and phonogram producers receive a fair share of the remuneration also for the on- demand use of broadcast productions.

5. Member States may regulate whether and to what extent administration by collecting societies of the right to obtain an annual supplementary remuneration referred to in paragraph 3 may be imposed.
