Paragraph 1 a (new)
1 a. Recognises that the IP Action Plan ensures access to education, knowledge, information and culture, alongside proposed arrangements for dealing with critical intellectual property from patents, e.g. for use in public health protection, as well as relevant parts of the cultural, educational, media and higher education sector1as. Within the EU Copyright Directive, the use of copyright-relevant material by institutional users, such as educational institutions, research institutions, cultural heritage institutions, is regulated through copyright limitations. Other directives1b provide for exceptions such as those required for the implementation of the Marrakesh Treaty to ensure inclusion. The part of the cultural and media sector, which is often specifically European, not- for-profit and public service, should equally be protected more proactively and in a more sustainable manner in international trade agreements, along the lines of the UNESCO Convention on Culture, which firmly establishes the dual nature of cultural and media productions as goods and carriers of identities and values1c; _________________ 1a see Article 6 of the UNESCO Universal Declaration on Cultural Diversity, 2001 1bDirective (EU) 2017/1564 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 September 2017 on certain permitted uses of certain works and other subject matter protected by copyright and related rights for the benefit of persons who are blind, visually impaired or otherwise print-disabled and amending Directive 2001/29/EC on the harmonisation of certain aspects of copyright and related rights in the information society 1c see Article 8 of the UNESCO Universal Declaration on Cultural Diversity, 2001
