Amendment 99 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 10
(10) This legal uncertainty should be addressed by providing for a mandatory exception to the right of reproduction and also to the right to prevent extraction from a database. The newis exception should be without prejudice to the existing mandatory exception on temporary acts of reproduction laid down in Article 5(1) of Directive 2001/29, which should continue to apply toapplies only to the mining of texts and data for non- commercial purposes. In order not to prejudice the normal exploitation of their works in the interests of developing the mining of texts and data mining techniques which do not involve the making of copies going beyond the scope of that exception. Research organisations should also benefit from the exception when they engage into public-private partnerships, rightholders should be allowed to develop licences on the market and receive remuneration. The flexibility of the contractual solutions should also make it possible to take into account the diversity of the mining acts carried out and their purpose.

Amendment 132 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 16
(16) The exception or limitation should cover digital uses of works and other subject-matter such as the use of parts or extracts of works to support, enrich or complement the teaching, including the related learning activities. The use of the works or other subject-matter or extracts under the exception or limitation should be only in the context of teaching and learning activities carried out under the responsibility of educational establishments, including during examinations, and be limited to what is necessary for the purpose of such activities. Thus, for example, the exception should be limited to the use of brief extracts for intellectual works, except in the case of plays and poems. The exception or limitation should cover both uses through digital means in the classroom and online uses through the educational establishment's secure electronic network, the access to which should be protected, notably by authentication procedures. The exception or limitation should be understood as covering the specific accessibility needs of persons with a disability in the context of illustration for teaching.

Amendment 139 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 17
(17) Different arrangements, based on the implementation of the exception provided for in Directive 2001/29/EC or on licensing agreements covering further uses, are in place in a number of Member States in order to facilitate educational uses of works and other subject-matter. Such arrangements have usually been developed taking account of the needs of educational establishments and different levels of education. Whereas it is essential to harmonise the scope of the new mandatory exception or limitation in relation to digital uses and cross-border teaching activities, the modalities of implementation may differ from a Member State to another, to the extent they do not hamper the effective application of the exception or limitation or cross-border uses. This should allow Member States to build on the existing arrangements concluded at national level. In particular, Member States could decide to subject the application of the exception or limitation, fully or partially, to the availability of adequate licences, covering at least the same uses as those allowed under the exception. This mechanism wshould, for example, allow giving precedence to licences f not, on the other hand, apply to sheet music or materials which are primarily intended for the educational market, for which it should be possible to arrange licences. In order to avoid that such mechanism results in legal uncertainty or administrative burden for educational establishments, Member States adopting this approach should take concrete measures to ensure that licensing schemes allowing digital uses of works or other subject-matter for the purpose of illustration for teaching are easily available and that educational establishments are aware of the existence of such licensing schemes.

Amendment 160 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 23
(23) Member States should,This directive is based on specific solutions developed by Member States in order to deal within the framework provided for in this Directive, have flexibility in choosing the specific type of mechanism allowing for licences fissues raised by mass digitisation through systems for out- of-commerce works. Such solutions take into account the specific characteristics of the various types of work out-of-commerce works to extend tor other subject- matter and of the various users; they are devised on the basis of consensus between the stakeholders. This Directive also embodies the prights of rightholders that are not represented by the collective management organisation,nciples informing the Memorandum of Understanding on Key Principles on the Digitisation and Making Available of Out-of-Commerce Works, signed on 20 September 2011 by representatives of European libraries, authors, publishers and collective management organisations under the aegis of the Commission. Member States should have a certain margin of discretion to choose the specific type of arrangement in accordance towith their legal traditions, practices or circumstances. Such mechanisms can include extended collective licensing, legal mandates and presumptions of representation.

Proposal for a directive

Recital 38 – paragraph 2
In respect ofthe interests of ensuring legal certainty for users of services, these agreements should cover the liability of the latter when they are not acting professionally for acts falling under Articles 2 and 3 of Directive 2001/29/EC that they perform.

Amendment 276 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 39
(39) Collaboration between information society service providers storing and providing access to the public to largesignificant amounts of copyright protected works or other subject-matter uploaded by their users and rightholders is essential for the functioning of technologies, such as content recognition technologies. In such cases, rightholders should provide the necessary data to allow the services to identify their content and the services should be transparent towards rightholders with regard to the deployed technologies, to allow the assessment of their appropriateness. The services should in particular provide rightholders with information on the type of technologies used, the way they are operated and their success rate for the recognition of rightholders' content. Those technologies should also allow rightholders to get information from the information society service providers on the use of their content covered by an agreement.

Recital 39 a (new)
(39 a) In view of the requirements imposed by this directive regarding contracts and cooperation between information society service providers and rightholders, it is necessary to provide for an intermediate procedure which will permit the parties to seek an amicable solution to any dispute concerning the relevant provisions of this directive. Member States should support such a mechanism by designating an impartial body with relevant experience and competence to assist the parties in the resolution of their dispute.

Proposal for a directive
Recital 39 b (new)
(39 b) It should be recalled that, both in general and in the light of the references to Article 3 of Directive 2001/29/EC made in this directive, a work and/or other subject-matter is communicated to the public and/or made available to the public when a natural or legal person affords access to it to persons outside their normal family circle or most immediate associates. For this purpose it makes no difference that the latter can gain access to the works and/or other subject-matter at the same place or in different places and at the same time or at different times.

Amendment 293 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 41 a (new)
(41 a) Authors and performers very often receive no remuneration when their works or interpretations are exploited, especially through online services, and do not have the legal tools to enable them to receive such remuneration. This situation is particularly evident in the audiovisual sector and the bargaining power of the authors and performers of audiovisual works is significantly weakened as a result. Therefore, without prejudice to the law applicable to contracts in the Member States, a principle of fair remuneration should be put in place which is tailored to each mode of exploitation. Member States should be allowed great flexibility so that they can implement this remuneration in accordance with their legal traditions and national practices.
