Adoption of a publishers' right in France

Europe’s press publishers represented by EMMA (European Magazine Media Association) and ENPA (European Newspaper Publishers’ Association) applaud today’s final adoption of a right for press publishers by the French lower parliamentary chamber or the Assemblée Nationale, as part of the implementation of the EU copyright Directive. The law foresees concrete information obligations to services of online communication to the public such as all the necessary elements relating to the uses of press publications by users. In addition, the law stipulates that remuneration due to press publishers should be based on resource revenue of any kind, whether direct or indirect.
