"Madam President, Commissioner, I am sure that you know how particular and, at times, impatient jurists can be when resolving the most difficult legal problems and I must say that in the Committee on Legal Affairs even the non-jurists are impatient. The European Commission has consulted on the question of copyright management since the mid-nineties. It has published a series of documents, communications and papers addressing this issue and these were followed by public consultations. Parliament already called for a Community framework for collective management societies in the field of copyright and neighbouring rights in its resolution of 15 January 2004 and then in its resolutions of 13 March 2007 and 25 September 2008. In this term, Parliament repeated its calls, inter alia, in its resolution of 12 May 2011 on unlocking the potential of cultural and creative industries and in my own report, which was adopted on 22 September 2010. As you specified in your communication of 24 May 2011, the coming proposal on collective management of copyright should contribute to the creation of a true digital single market. We need pan-European and multi-territorial licensing. However, we are aware of the difficulty involved in the reorganisation of repertoires that would enable a single entity to grant licences for a number of repertoires. Collective management societies must also guarantee cultural diversity by encouraging creativity, but we know that there are linguistic and cultural barriers. Collective management societies must finally ensure that all authors are looked after and paid, from international stars to less well-known authors. How, in your proposal, do you intend to ensure a balance between this necessary modernisation of collective management on the one hand, particularly in terms of Internet use, and the protection and payment of authors in cultural diversity on the other? My final question, Commissioner — but I think you will have been expecting it — when do you intend to submit this text to us?"@en1
