Amendment 13 #
Proposal for a directive – amending act
Recital 15
(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 from offering for sale in sufficient quantity copies of a phonogram which, but for the term extension, would be in the public domain or from making such a phonogram available to the public and, following a request from the performer, has declared that he does not intend to do so within a reasonable period of time. 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 producer.

Amendment 14 #
Proposal for a directive – amending act
Recital 16 a (new)
(16a) A third transitional measure is the promotion and support of the 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 for the on-demand use of broadcast productions.

With respect to the administration of rights concerning on-demand services by broadcasters of their radio or television productions incorporating music from lawfully published phonograms, Member States shall ensure that the rights of performers and phonogram producers to grant or refuse authorization for such use may be exercised mainly through the collecting society which has been established for collecting and distributing the remuneration for broadcasting such phonograms.

Amendment 28 #
Proposal for a directive – amending act
Article 1 – point 4
Directive 2006/116/EC
Article 10 a – paragraph 6
If, after the moment at which, by virtue of Article 3 (1) and (2) in their version before amendment by Directive [// insert: Nr. of this amending directive]/EC, the performer and the phonogram producer would be no longer protected in regard of, respectively, the fixation of the performance and the phonogram, the phonogram producer ceases to offer copies of the phonogram for sale in sufficient quantity or to make it available to the public, by wire or wireless means, in such a way that members of the public may access them from a place and at a time individually chosen by them, and, following a request from the performer, has declared that he does not intend to do so within a reasonable period of time, the performer may terminate the contract on transfer or assignment. Where a phonogram contains the fixation of the performances of a plurality of performers, they may terminate their contracts on transfer or assignment only jointly. If the contract on transfer or assignment is terminated pursuant to sentences 1 or 2, the rights of the phonogram producer in the phonogram shall expire.
