European Parliament Vote on EU Copyright Directive – 84 major European organisations call MEPs to support the Parliament’s report
Europe’s creative sectors – including record labels (Majors and Indies), songwriters, The International Artists’ organisation, newspapers, authors, cinemas, book publishers, picture agencies, football leagues, commercial TV broadcasters, magazines, academics, publishers and many more – are jointly calling on all MEPs to support the mandate of the European Parliament’s rapporteur, Axel Voss MEP.
Voss has completed his report on the proposed EU Copyright Directive after it passed through five parliamentary committees. Next week on July 5, the whole Parliament will be asked to approve his mandate as negotiator with the European Commission and Council.
Europe’s creative sectors strongly urge all MEPs to support that mandate when they vote in order to restore a fair online marketplace for creative content.
