(15) A second accompanying transitional measure should be that the rights in the fixation of the performance should revert to the performer if a phonogram producer refrains fromno longer offerings for sale in sufficient quantity copies of at least one version of a phonogram which, but for the term extension, would be in the public domain, or from makingno longer makes at least one version of such a phonogram available to the public. As a consequence, the rights of the phonogram producer in the phonogram should expire, in order to avoid a situation in which these rights would coexist with those of the performer in the fixation of the performance whilst the latter rights are no longer transferred or assigned to the phonogram produ, the performer may request him to do so, and if the producer does not fulfil that request within a reasonable time, the performer may terminate the assignment of the rights in the fixation of that performancer.
