". – I begin by expressing the thanks of the Commission to the rapporteur, Mr Zimmerling, for his report. In particular, the Commission notes with pleasure that an agreement has finally been reached.
I shall be brief in my remarks; much has been said about this subject, not only today, but in the past, so I shall restrict myself to what is absolutely necessary.
The resale right is going to be part of Community law. It will allow artists to benefit from that right wherever their works are sold in the European Union. That means that an end will gradually be put to the distortion of competition affecting the internal market in this area. The directive will give the Commission a basis on which to act in order to promote recognition of the resale rights at international level. The Commission has already committed itself to taking appropriate action in that direction. But the Commission is still concerned by the long delays in application which may lead to 10 years elapsing before the directive is able to produce its full harmonising effects. The Commission has therefore made a statement, which is to be published in the Official Journal together with the directive, in which it points out that such delays should be considered exceptional and should remain so in order to maintain the effectiveness of Community action within the internal market."@en1
