(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 makingmakes at least one version of such a phonogram available to the public, the performer may request that producer to do so, and if the producer does not within a reasonable time agree to fulfil this request, the performer may terminate the assignment of the rights in the fixation of that performance.
