Press release

At yesterday’s final plenary meeting, Licences for Europe participants made pledges [65 KB] to overcome problems European citizens may face in four areas:

  • - 
    cross-border access and portability of services;
  • - 
    user-generated content and micro-licensing;
  • - 
    audiovisual heritage and text and data mining.

Solutions presented yesterday will address issues that consumers, right holders, service-providers, and end-users face on a daily basis. When implemented, these commitments will provide important added value as they will have a real impact on the availability and accessibility of cultural content online.
