"Madam President, I would like to thank the rapporteur for her good work and also for the good cooperation that we had. I am just sad that the Committee on Legal Affairs (JURI) took the wrong approach to this report. Banning the freedom of panorama exclusion, for example, was exactly the wrong way to look at the digital single market. I am glad that the groups and the author have agreed now to remove it, but I have huge concerns that the committee thought it was a good idea in the first place. It shows that there is little understanding of the immense changes that the digital environment is bringing to consumers, users, right holders and businesses.
That is not the only problem. The call to reopen the E-commerce Directive is also unwelcome, as is the very wide educational exemption, the study into the pan-European licence and the amendment for a new internet tax. But my final point is on geo-blocking. One of Europe’s biggest sporting events is taking place right now: it is the Ashes cricket series between England and Australia, and it has a global audience of billions. Yet if you bought access to watch this in the UK, you are blocked from accessing it here in France or on holiday in Spain, even though the right to work is there. I do not want a pan-EU licence, but I want portability of legally-bought content. However, on this, as in so many other areas, the report simply does not recognise how the modern digital market works."@en1
