Recital 2 a (new)
(2a) As part of a further harmonisation copyright law, the Union and Member States should develop new forms of transnational European licences in the future. These would not constitute a loss of revenue for either creators or for right holders and would protect the expression of cultural and linguistic diversity across the Union. The use of online content services in the Union should be fairly regulated for creators, right holders and users.

Recital 12 a (new)
(12a) As portability applies to previously acquired online content, it should be understood as an essential component of cross-border access. Therefore, the objective of this Regulation is also to ensure cross-border access for private and public users such as libraries and educational and cultural projects and institutions that need to access online content while being present in another Member State.
Amendment 83 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 23 a (new)
Recital 23 a (new)
(23a) In order to enable cross-border portability of online content services, the power to adopt acts in accordance with Article 290 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union should be delegated to the Commission in respect of establishing a non-exhaustive list of means for the verification of the subscriber's Member State of residence, prepared and drawn up in consultation with all relevant experts, including small right holders and consumers' rights organisations. Such verification means should be the most appropriate in the relevant Member State and equivalent amongst Member States. This list may, for example, include a confirmed installation of a set top box, a local home bank account, a local electoral role or tax paying confirmation. It is of particular importance that the Commission carry out appropriate consultations during its preparatory work, including at expert level, and that those consultations be conducted in accordance with the principles laid down in the Interinstitutional Agreement of 13 April 2016 on Better Law-Making1a. In particular, to ensure equal participation in the preparation of delegated acts, the European Parliament and Council receive all documents at the same time as Member States' experts, and their experts systematically have access to meetings of Commission expert groups dealing with the preparation of delegated acts. __________________ 1a OJ L 123, 12.5.2016, p. 1.
