"Mr President, Commissioner, although I am grateful to you for your extensive and clear response, I am nevertheless left with a problem. At the end of your intervention, you draw a clear distinction between analogue and digital copying, whereby the former would not be harmful to the information society, while the latter would. As far as I know – and I have been involved in information society legislation for years – we in Europe specifically do not draw a distinction between digital and analogue, in the sense that legislation must be technology-neutral. So I am a little taken aback by your statement.
Moreover, I am surprised that the directive does not tend more towards harmonisation, particularly because your offices initially indicated that it would do so. Where fair compensation is concerned, it is important to establish whether the rightholder is actually being adversely affected, whether any technological protection measures are available and whether any other payment is made to the rightholder. This is why I think that it is regrettable after all that Member States are not required to adapt their legislation in the sense that only fair compensation is granted."@en1
