| EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM | OBRAZLOŽITVENI MEMORANDUM |
| 1. CONTEXT OF THE PROPOSAL | 1. OZADJE PREDLOGA |
| 1.1. Grounds for and objectives of the proposal | 1.1. Razlogi za predlog in njegovi cilji |
| The present proposal for a directive aims to put in place an appropriate legal framework for the collective management of rights that are administered by collecting societies on behalf of rightholders by providing for rules ensuring the better governance and greater transparency of all collecting societies and also by encouraging and facilitating the multi-territorial licensing of the rights of authors in their musical works by collecting societies representing authors. | Cilj tega predloga Direktive je oblikovati ustrezen pravni okvir za kolektivno upravljanje pravic, ki jih v imenu imetnikov pravic upravljajo kolektivne organizacije, in sicer z oblikovanjem pravil, ki bodo zagotovila boljše upravljanje in večjo preglednost vseh kolektivnih organizacij, ter tudi s spodbujanjem in olajšanjem izdajanja večozemeljskih licenc za pravice avtorjev za njihova glasbena dela s strani kolektivnih organizacij, ki zastopajo avtorje. |
| A licence is required from the relevant holder of any copyright or related right where any service is provided which includes the exploitation of the protected work of an author e.g. a song or musical composition or other protected subject matter, such as a phonogram or performance. Such services may be provided offline, such as showing a film in a cinema or playing music in a concert hall, but also increasingly online. A licence is required from all the different rightholders (authors, performers, producers). In some sectors, licences are most often granted directly by individual rightholders (e.g. film producers), in other sectors, the collective management of rights plays a very important role, in particular of authors' rights in musical works. Certain forms of exploitation also rely particularly on collective management e.g. the performers and record producers' remuneration rights for the broadcasting and public performance of phonograms. | Za zagotavljanje katere koli storitve, ki vključuje izkoriščanje zaščitenega dela avtorja, na primer pesem ali skladbo, ali druge zaščitene vsebine, kot je fonogram ali izvedba, je treba imeti licenco zadevnega imetnika katere koli avtorske ali sorodne pravice. Takšne storitve se lahko zagotavljajo tudi izven spleta, kot je prikazovanje filma v kinu ali igranje glasbe v koncertni dvorani, vse bolj pa tudi na spletu. Pri tem je treba imeti licenco vseh različnih imetnikov pravic (avtorjev, izvajalcev, producentov). V nekaterih sektorjih licence najpogosteje izdajajo neposredno posamezni imetniki pravic (npr. filmski producenti), medtem ko je v drugih sektorjih kolektivno upravljanje pravic, zlasti pravic avtorjev za glasbena dela, zelo pomembno. Tudi nekatere oblike izkoriščanja so odvisne zlasti od kolektivnega upravljanja, npr. pri pravicah izvajalcev in producentov do nadomestila za oddajanje in javno predvajanje fonogramov. |
| Rightholders entrust their rights to a collecting society which manages rights on their behalf. They also provide services to rightholders and users which include granting licences to users, administering the rights revenue, payments due to rightholders and enforcing the rights. Collecting societies play a very important role, in particular where negotiations with individual creators would be impractical and entail prohibitive transaction costs. They also play a key role in the protection and promotion of the diversity of cultural expressions by enabling the smallest and less popular repertoires to access the market. | Imetniki pravic kolektivno organizacijo pooblastijo za upravljanje pravic v njihovem imenu. Poleg tega kolektivne organizacije imetnikom pravic in uporabnikom zagotavljajo storitve, ki vključujejo izdajanje licenc uporabnikom, upravljanje prihodkov iz pravic, plačila, do katerih so upravičeni imetniki pravic, in uveljavljanje pravic. Kolektivne organizacije so zelo pomembne, zlasti kadar pogajanja s posameznimi ustvarjalci ne bi bila praktična in bi povzročila nesprejemljivo visoke transakcijske stroške. Imajo tudi ključno vlogo pri varovanju in spodbujanju raznolikosti kulturnih izrazov, tako da se najmanjšim in manj priljubljenim repertoarjem omogoči dostop do trga. |
| Action is considered necessary in two areas. | Ukrepanje je potrebno na dveh področjih. |
| First, collective rights' management in all sectors needs to adapt in terms of the service provided to members and users as regards efficiency, accuracy, transparency and accountability. An excessively slow pace of modernisation negatively impacts on the availability of new offerings for consumers and service providers, as innovative services especially in the online environment are being hampered. To ensure the adequate provision of services using works or other subject-matter protected by copyright and related rights in the internal market, collecting societies should be led to adapt their methods of operation for the benefit of creators, service providers, consumers and of the European economy as a whole. As societies license rights on behalf of national and foreign rightholders, their functioning has a fundamental impact on the exploitation of those rights across the internal market. The functioning of some of them has raised concerns as to their transparency, governance and the handling of rights revenue collected on behalf of rightholders. Notably, concerns have been expressed with regard to the accountability of certain societies to their members in general, and to the management of their finances in particular. A number of collecting societies still have to meet the challenge of adapting to the realities and needs of the Single Market. | Prvič, kolektivno upravljanje pravic v vseh sektorjih se mora prilagoditi glede na storitev, ki se zagotavlja članom in uporabnikom, kar zadeva učinkovitost, točnost, preglednost in odgovornost. Zelo počasna modernizacija negativno vpliva na razpoložljivost novih ponudb za potrošnike in ponudnike storitev, saj so inovativne storitve ovirane, zlasti v spletnem okolju. Za zagotavljanje ustreznega opravljanja storitev pri uporabi del ali druge vsebine, zaščitene z avtorskimi in sorodnimi pravicami na notranjem trgu, bi kolektivne organizacije morale prilagoditi svoje načine delovanja v korist ustvarjalcev, ponudnikov storitev, potrošnikov in celotnega evropskega gospodarstva. Ker organizacije licencirajo pravice v imenu nacionalnih in tujih imetnikov pravic, njihovo delovanje bistveno vpliva na izkoriščanje teh pravic na notranjem trgu. Pri delovanju nekaterih od teh organizacij se pojavljajo pomisleki glede njihove preglednosti, vodenja in upravljanja prihodkov iz pravic v imenu imetnikov pravic. Pomisleki so povezani predvsem z odgovornostjo nekaterih organizacij do svojih članov na splošno in zlasti upravljanjem njihovih financ. Več kolektivnih organizacij se še ni prilagodilo realnim razmeram in potrebam na enotnem trgu. |
| Second, the development of a Single Market for cultural content online has led to calls for changes to copyright licensing, notably in the licensing of the rights of authors in musical works as online music service providers face difficulties in acquiring licences with an aggregated repertoire for the territory of more than one Member State. While a number of factors contribute to the territorial fragmentation of online music services, including the commercial choices of providers, the difficulties of obtaining multi-territorial licences should not be underestimated. This situation leads to fragmentation of the EU market for these services, thereby limiting the provision of online music services by online service providers and as a result authors' musical works have not been as widely licensed or properly remunerated, as they could have been. This fragmentation also prevents consumers from enjoying the widest possible access to the considerable diversity of musical repertoires. Whilst in other areas collective rights management has not given rise to any difficulties that need to be addressed in this context, the collective management of authors' rights in musical works needs to be addressed. Tackling this situation is crucial to stimulate the legal offer of music online in the EU. | Drugič, zaradi razvoja enotnega trga za spletno kulturno vsebino je treba spremeniti licenciranje avtorskih pravic, predvsem licenciranje pravic avtorjev za glasbena dela, saj imajo ponudniki spletnih glasbenih storitev težave pri pridobivanju licenc v primeru združenega repertoarja za ozemlje več kot ene države članice. Čeprav k ozemeljski razdrobljenosti spletnih glasbenih storitev prispeva več dejavnikov, vključno s poslovnimi izbirami ponudnikov storitev, se težav pri pridobivanju večozemeljskih licenc ne bi smelo podcenjevati. Te okoliščine povzročajo razdrobljenost trga EU za te storitve ter tako omejujejo zagotavljanje spletnih glasbenih storitev s strani ponudnikov spletnih storitev in tudi avtorjev, za glasbena dela katerih ni bilo izdanih veliko licenc ali ki ne prejmejo ustreznih nadomestil, ki bi jih sicer lahko prejeli. Zaradi te razdrobljenosti potrošniki tudi nimajo najboljšega možnega dostopa do zelo raznolikih glasbenih repertoarjev. Medtem ko na drugih področjih kolektivno upravljanje pravic ni povzročilo težav, ki bi jih bilo treba obravnavati v tem okviru, je treba obravnavati kolektivno upravljanje pravic avtorjev za glasbena dela. Odprava tega stanja je ključna za spodbujanje zakonite ponudbe glasbe prek spleta v EU. |
| This proposal therefore aims to: (a) improve the standards of governance and transparency of collecting societies so that rightholders can exercise more effective control over them and help improve their management efficiency, and (b) facilitate the multi-territorial licensing by collecting societies of authors' rights in musical works for the provision of online services. | Zato sta cilja tega predloga: (a) izboljšati standarde upravljanja in preglednosti kolektivnih organizacij, da lahko imetniki pravic izvajajo učinkovitejši nadzor nad njimi in prispevajo k izboljšanju učinkovitosti njihovega upravljanja, in (b) olajšati izdajanje večozemeljskih licenc za pravice avtorjev za glasbena dela s strani kolektivnih organizacij v primeru zagotavljanja spletnih storitev. |
| 1.2. General context | 1.2. Splošno ozadje |
| This proposal is presented in the context of the Digital Agenda for Europe[1] and the Europe 2020 Strategy aiming for smart, sustainable and inclusive growth[2]. In its "Single Market Act"[3] the Commission identified intellectual property as one of the areas in which action is required and underlined that, in the internet age, collective management must be able to evolve towards more transnational, possibly EU-wide models of licensing, covering the territories of multiple Member States. In its Communication "A Single Market for Intellectual Property Rights"[4] the Commission announced that it would be proposing a legal framework for the collective management of copyright and related rights. The importance of this legislative proposal was also highlighted in the Commission's "European Consumer Agenda".[5] | Ta predlog je predložen v okviru Evropske digitalne agende[1] ter strategije Evropa 2020 za pametno, trajnostno in vključujočo rast[2]. Komisija je v svojem Aktu za enotni trg[3] intelektualno lastnino opredelila kot eno od področij, na katerih je potrebno ukrepanje, ter izpostavila, da mora v dobi interneta kolektivno upravljanje vse bolj temeljiti na nadnacionalnih, po možnosti vseevropskih modelih izdajanja licenc, ki pokrivajo ozemlja več držav članic. Komisija je v svojem sporočilu z naslovom Enotni trg na področju varstva pravic intelektualne lastnine[4] napovedala, da bo predlagala vzpostavitev pravnega okvira za kolektivno upravljanje avtorskih in sorodnih pravic. Pomen tega zakonodajnega predloga je Komisija poudarila tudi v svoji Evropski agendi za potrošnike[5]. |
| Article 167 of the TFEU requires the Union to take cultural aspects into account in its action, in particular to respect and promote the diversity of its cultures. | V skladu s členom 167 PDEU mora Unija pri svojih ukrepih upoštevati kulturne vidike, zlasti zaradi spoštovanja in spodbujanja raznolikosti svojih kultur. |
| Technology, the fast evolving nature of digital business models and the growing autonomy of online consumers, all call for a constant assessment as to whether current copyright rules set the right incentives and enable rightholders, users of rights and consumers to take advantage of the opportunities that modern technologies provide. This proposal should not be seen in isolation but as part of a set of measures proposed or to be proposed by the Commission, as appropriate, in order to facilitate the licensing of rights and, more generally, access to attractive digital content, in particular in a cross-border context. Besides addressing the functioning of collecting societies in the context of this proposal, the Commission is also considering if other measures are required to facilitate licensing in general whether done by individual rightholders, those to which the rights have been transferred, or by collecting societies. This reflection encompasses the issue of the territoriality of rights and its effects in the licensing of certain content or services. | Tehnologija, hiter razvoj digitalnih poslovnih modelov in vse večja avtonomija spletnih potrošnikov zahtevajo stalno oceno tega, ali trenutna pravila o avtorskih pravicah določajo prave spodbude ter imetnikom pravic, uporabnikom pravic in potrošnikom omogočajo izkoriščanje priložnosti, ki jih ponujajo sodobne tehnologije. Ta predlog se ne sme obravnavati posebej, ampak kot del skupine ukrepov, ki jih je ali jih bo predlagala Komisija, kot je ustrezno, da se olajša izdajanje licenc za pravice in, bolj splošno, dostop do privlačnih digitalnih vsebin, zlasti v čezmejnem okviru. Komisija je poleg delovanja kolektivnih organizacij v okviru tega predloga preučila tudi, ali so potrebni drugi ukrepi za lažje izdajanje licenc na splošno, ne glede na to, ali jih izdajajo posamezni imetniki pravic, subjekti, na katere so bile pravice prenesene, ali kolektivne organizacije. Ta preučitev zajema vprašanje teritorialnosti pravic in vpliva na izdajanje licenc za določeno vsebino ali storitve. |
| Also in the context of the Digital Agenda for Europe, the Commission Communications “A Single Market for Intellectual Property Rights” and "A coherent framework for building trust in the Digital Single Market for e-commerce and online services"[6] and the follow-up to the "Green Paper on the online distribution of audiovisual works in the European Union"[7], the Commission is carrying out in-depth legal and economic analysis as regards the scope and functioning of copyright and related rights associated with internet transmissions in the Single Market, including whether the current exceptions and limitations to copyright granted under the Directive 2001/29/EC on the harmonisation of certain aspects of copyright and related rights in the information society[8] need to be updated or further harmonised at EU level. | Komisija v okviru Evropske digitalne agende ter sporočil z naslovoma „Enotni trg na področju varstva pravic intelektualne lastnine“ in „Skladen okvir za okrepitev zaupanja v enotni digitalni trg elektronskega poslovanja in spletnih storitev“[6] ter nadaljnjega spremljanja „Zelene knjige o spletni distribuciji avdiovizualnih del v Evropski uniji: priložnosti in izzivi na poti do enotnega digitalnega trga“[7] izvaja poglobljeno pravno in ekonomsko analizo področja uporabe ter delovanja avtorskih in sorodnih pravic, povezanih s spletnim prenosom na enotnem trgu, vključno s tem, ali bi bilo treba sedanje izjeme in omejitve avtorskih pravic, določene v skladu z Direktivo 2001/29/ES o usklajevanju določenih vidikov avtorske in sorodnih pravic v informacijski družbi[8], posodobiti ali dodatno uskladiti na ravni EU. |
| 1.3. Existing provisions in the area of the proposal | 1.3. Veljavne določbe na področju, na katero se nanaša predlog |
| While some of the existing directives in the field of copyright[9] contain references to the management of rights by collecting societies, none of them addresses the modus operandi of the societies as such. | Čeprav nekatere od veljavnih direktiv na področju avtorskih pravic[9] omenjajo upravljanje pravic s strani kolektivnih organizacij, nobena od njih ne obravnava načina delovanja organizacij kot takšnih. |
| Commission Recommendation 2005/737/EC on the collective cross-border management of copyright and related rights for legitimate online music services[10] invited Member States to promote a regulatory environment suited to the management of copyright and related rights for the provision of legitimate online music services and to improve the governance and transparency standards of collecting societies. Being a Recommendation, it was non-binding and its voluntary implementation has been unsatisfactory. | V Priporočilu Komisije 2005/737/ES o kolektivnem čezmejnem upravljanju avtorskih in sorodnih pravic za zakonite spletne glasbene storitve[10] so bile države članice pozvane, naj spodbujajo regulativno okolje, ki ustreza upravljanju avtorskih in sorodnih pravic za zagotavljanje zakonitih spletnih glasbenih storitev, ter izboljšajo standarde upravljanja in preglednosti kolektivnih organizacij. Ker je navedeno besedilo priporočilo, je nezavezujoče, pri čemer pa njegovo prostovoljno izvajanje ni bilo zadovoljivo. |
| 1.4. Consistency with other policies | 1.4. Usklajenost z drugimi politikami |
| This proposal complements Directive 2006/123/EC of 12 December 2006 on services in the internal market[11] which aims to create a legal framework to ensure the freedom of establishment and the free movement of services between the Member States. Collecting societies are subject to Directive 2006/123/EC as providers of collective management services. | Ta predlog dopolnjuje Direktivo 2006/123/ES z dne 12. decembra 2006 o storitvah na notranjem trgu[11], katere cilj je oblikovanje pravnega okvira, da bi se zagotovila svoboda ustanavljanja in prosti pretok storitev med državami članicami. Kolektivne organizacije so kot ponudniki storitev kolektivnega upravljanja predmet Direktive 2006/123/ES. |
| The proposal is important for the protection of copyright and related rights. The Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works, the Rome Convention for the Protection of Performers, Producers of Phonograms and Broadcasting Organizations, the World Trade Organisation Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights, the World Intellectual Property Organisation Copyright Treaty and the World Intellectual Property Organisation Performances and Phonograms Treaty are key international instruments in this respect. The United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organisation Convention on the protection and promotion of cultural expressions which expands the obligation of the European Union at international level, also recalls the importance of intellectual property. | Predlog je pomemben za zaščito avtorskih in sorodnih pravic . Bernska konvencija za varstvo književnih in umetniških del, Rimska konvencija za varstvo izvajalcev, proizvajalcev fonogramov in radiodifuznih organizacij, Sporazum o trgovinskih vidikih pravic intelektualne lastnine Svetovne trgovinske organizacije, Pogodba Svetovne organizacije za intelektualno lastnino o avtorski pravici in Pogodba Svetovne organizacije za intelektualno lastnino o izvedbah in fonogramih so ključni mednarodni instrumenti na tem področju. Konvencija o varovanju in spodbujanju raznolikosti kulturnih izrazov Združenih narodov za izobraževanje, kulturo in znanost, ki razširja obveznost Evropske unije na mednarodni ravni, tudi opozarja na pomen intelektualne lastnine. |
| 2. RESULTS OF CONSULTATIONS WITH THE INTERESTED PARTIES AND IMPACT ASSESSMENT | 2. REZULTATI POSVETOVANJ Z ZAINTERESIRANIMI STRANMI IN OCENA UČINKA |
| 2.1 Public consultation | 2.1 Javno posvetovanje |
| The proposal builds on an extensive round of dialogue and consultation with interested parties, including authors, publishers, performers, producers, collecting societies, commercial users, consumers and public bodies. | Predlog temelji na obsežnem dialogu in posvetovanju z zainteresiranimi stranmi, vključno z avtorji, založniki, izvajalci, producenti, kolektivnimi organizacijami, komercialnimi uporabniki, potrošniki in javnimi organi. |
| It takes into consideration the views expressed in a public consultation on "Content Online",[12] which aimed to promote further thinking and debate about possible European responses to the challenges of the digital "dematerialisation" of content, including easier and quicker rights clearance structures while ensuring fair and adequate remuneration for rightholders. The consultation specifically addressed the governance and transparency of collecting societies and the cross-border management of rights for online music services. Several respondents felt that aggregating different music repertoires would simplify rights clearance and licensing. A number of authors' associations, publishers and commercial users favoured further reflection on the governance and transparency of collecting societies. Consumers' associations generally supported a regulatory initiative (e.g. by means of a binding legislative instrument). | Upošteva stališča, izražena med javnim posvetovanjem o „Spletni vsebini“[12], katerega cilj je bil spodbuditi nadaljnje razmišljanje in razpravo o možnih evropskih odzivih na izzive digitalne „dematerializacije“ vsebine, vključno z enostavnejšimi in hitrejšimi strukturami za pridobitev pravic ter istočasno zagotovitvijo poštenega in ustreznega nadomestila imetnikom pravic. Posvetovanje je zajemalo zlasti obravnavo upravljanja in preglednosti kolektivnih organizacij ter čezmejnega upravljanja pravic za spletne glasbene storitve. Več udeležencev posvetovanja je menilo, da bi se z združevanjem različnih glasbenih repertoarjev poenostavilo pridobivanje in licenciranje pravic. Več združenj avtorjev, založnikov in komercialnih uporabnikov je podprlo dodatno preučitev upravljanja in preglednosti kolektivnih organizacij. Združenja potrošnikov so na splošno podprla regulativno pobudo (npr. v obliki zavezujočega pravnega akta). |
| In 2010 the Commission consulted collecting societies and online music service providers. It also organised a public hearing[13] on the governance of collective rights management in the EU, attended by almost 300 stakeholders. These consultations confirmed what had been identified as deficiencies in the collective management of rights and the need to improve the governance and transparency standards of collecting societies and to create a framework for facilitating the online licensing of musical works. | Komisija se je leta 2010 posvetovala s kolektivnimi organizacijami in ponudniki spletnih glasbenih storitev. Organizirala je tudi javno obravnavo[13] v zvezi z ureditvijo kolektivnega upravljanja pravic v EU, na kateri je sodelovalo skoraj 300 zainteresiranih strani. Ta posvetovanja so potrdila ugotovljene pomanjkljivosti na področju kolektivnega upravljanja pravic ter potrebo po izboljšanju standardov upravljanja in preglednosti kolektivnih organizacij ter oblikovanju okvira za lažje spletno licenciranje glasbenih del. |
| 2.2 Collection and use of expertise | 2.2 Zbiranje in uporaba strokovnih mnenj |
| There was no use of external expertise. | Zunanje strokovno mnenje ni bilo uporabljeno. |
| 2.3 Impact assessment | 2.3 Ocena učinka |
| The impact assessment examines two groups of options to deal with: (a) issues pertaining to the insufficiency of governance and transparency standards applied by certain collecting societies, often resulting in weaknesses in their financial management; (b) issues stemming from the lack of preparedness of certain authors' collecting societies to grant online multi-territorial licences in view of the requirements associated with this kind of activity and the perceived legal uncertainty, making the repertoire aggregation of musical works more difficult. | V okviru ocene učinka sta bili preučeni dve skupini možnosti, ki jih je treba obravnavati: (a) vprašanja v zvezi z neustreznostjo standardov upravljanja in preglednosti, ki jih uporabljajo nekatere kolektivne organizacije, posledica česar so pogosto pomanjkljivosti v njihovem finančnem poslovanju; (b) vprašanja, ki izvirajo iz nepripravljenosti nekaterih kolektivnih organizacij avtorjev, da bi izdajali spletne večozemeljske licence, in sicer zaradi zahtev, povezanih s to vrsto dejavnosti, in pravne negotovosti, zaradi česar je združevanje repertoarjev glasbenih del težje. |
| The policy options regarding the governance and transparency of collecting societies are as follows: | Možnosti politike v zvezi z upravljanjem in preglednostjo kolektivnih organizacij so naslednje: |
| - Retaining the status quo (A1), relying on the market and peer pressure (including self-regulation) would not solve the cross-border issues (e.g. control of royalty flows). | - z ohranitvijo obstoječega stanja (A1) , ki je odvisno od trga in medsebojnega pritiska (vključno s samourejanjem), se ne bi rešila čezmejna vprašanja (npr. nadzor nad tokovi licenčnin). |
| - Better enforcement (A2) of existing EU law and more consistency at national level in applying its principles would not harmonise the operating conditions of collecting societies. Issues outside the scope of existing principles would remain unsolved. | - z boljšim izvajanjem (A2) veljavne zakonodaje EU in večjo usklajenostjo na nacionalni ravni pri uporabi njenih načel ne bi bili usklajeni pogoji delovanja kolektivnih organizacij. Vprašanja zunaj področja uporabe obstoječih načel bi ostala nerešena. |
| - The codification of existing principles (A3) would reflect in legislation the principles that have emerged from the case-law of the Court of Justice, the Commission's antitrust decisions and Recommendation 2005/737/EC but it fails to capture more recently identified problems in relation to financial transparency and control by rightholders. | - s kodifikacijo obstoječih načel (A3) bi bila uzakonjena načela, ki izhajajo iz sodne prakse Sodišča Evropske unije, protimonopolnih sklepov Komisije in Priporočila 2005/737/ES, vendar ne bodo zajete pozneje ugotovljene težave v zvezi s finančno preglednostjo in nadzorom, ki ga izvajajo imetniki pravic. |
| - A governance and transparency framework (A4) would codify the existing principles and provide a more elaborate framework of rules on governance and transparency, increasing the possibilities of control over collecting societies. | - z okvirom za upravljanje in preglednost (A4) bi bila uzakonjena obstoječa načela in zagotovljen bolj izpopolnjen okvir za pravila o upravljanju in preglednosti, kar povečuje možnosti za nadzor nad kolektivnimi organizacijami. |
| The following policy options were examined to address the complexities of the collective licensing of authors' rights in musical works for online uses: | Za obravnavo zapletenosti kolektivnega licenciranja pravic avtorjev za glasbena dela za spletno uporabo so bile preučene naslednje možnosti politike: |
| - Under the status quo (B1), the internal market would remain fragmented as rights licensing for online services would continue to be complex and burdensome. | - v primeru ohranitve obstoječega stanja (B1) bi bil notranji trg še naprej razdrobljen, saj bi licenciranje pravic za spletne storitve ostalo zapleteno in obremenjujoče. |
| - The European Licensing Passport (B2) would foster the voluntary repertoire aggregation for online uses of musical works at EU level and the licensing of rights through multi-territorial licensing infrastructures. It would lay down common rules for all collective licensors throughout the EU and would create competitive pressure on societies to develop more efficient licensing practices. | - Evropski potni list za izdajanje licenc (B2) bi spodbudil prostovoljno združevanje repertoarja za spletne uporabnike glasbenih del na ravni EU in licenciranje pravic prek infrastruktur za izdajanje večozemeljskih licenc. Določena bi bila skupna pravila za vse kolektivne dajalce licence v EU, pri čemer bi se ustvarjal pritisk konkurence na organizacije, da razvijejo učinkovitejše prakse licenciranja. |
| - Parallel direct licensing (B3) would allow rightholders to conclude direct licences with users, without having to withdraw their rights from their collecting societies. It would promote competition among societies but would neither establish a set of minimum common rules for licensors nor necessarily produce repertoire aggregation. | - v okviru vzporednega neposrednega izdajanja licenc (B3) bi se lahko imetniki pravic z uporabniki dogovorili o neposrednih licencah, ne da bi pri tem morali umakniti svoje pravice iz svojih kolektivnih organizacij. Spodbujala bi se konkurenca med organizacijami, vendar ne bi bila oblikovana minimalna skupna pravila za dajalce licence niti ne bi bilo nujno, da bi to povzročilo združevanje repertoarja. |
| - Extended collective licensing and country of origin principle (B4) would establish the presumption that each collecting society has the authority to grant "blanket" licences for online uses covering the entire repertoire provided that the society is "representative". This option would neither provide any incentive for collecting societies to become more efficient, nor simplify the multi-territorial licensing of rights (due to opt-outs from collective management which would often lead to repertoire disaggregation). | - v okviru razširjenega kolektivnega izdajanja licenc in načela države izvora (B4) bi se oblikovala domneva, da je vsaka kolektivna organizacija pristojna za izdajo „krovnih“ licenc za spletno uporabo, ki pokriva celotni repertoar, pri čemer mora biti zadevna organizacija „reprezentativna“. S to možnostjo se ne bi zagotovila nobena spodbuda za kolektivne organizacije, da postanejo učinkovitejše, niti se ne bi poenostavilo izdajanje večozemeljskih licenc za pravice (zaradi izstopov iz kolektivnega upravljanja, ki bi pogosto povzročili razdruževanje repertoarja). |
| - A centralised portal (B5) would enable collecting societies to pool their repertoire for multi-territorial licensing in a single transaction, coordinated through the portal. This option raises significant concerns as to its compatibility with competition law. | - s centraliziranim portalom (B5) bi se kolektivnim organizacijam omogočilo, da za izdajanje večozemeljskih licenc svoj repertoar združijo v eni transakciji, ki bi se usklajevala prek portala. Ta možnost povzroča veliko pomislekov glede njene združljivosti s konkurenčnim pravom. |
| After carefully weighing up the advantages and disadvantages of each of the approaches, options A4 and B2 were retained. | Po podrobni preučitvi prednosti in pomanjkljivosti vsakega pristopa sta se ohranili možnosti A4 in B2. |

| The proposal is based on Articles 50(2)(g), 53 and 62 TFEU as facilitating the free provision of services. The introduction of key governance and transparency standards in collecting societies would protect the interests of members and users and also thereby facilitate and encourage the provision of collective management services across borders, in particular as societies usually manage rights of rightholders from other Member States (including via the so-called representation agreements that collecting societies have traditionally concluded with collecting societies established in other Member States) and cross-border royalty flows. Moreover, addressing the fragmentation of rules applicable to collective rights management across Europe will facilitate the free movement of all those services which rely upon copyright and related right-protected content. Notably, taking action to facilitate the granting of multi-territorial licences to online service providers will substantially ease the distribution of and the access to such musical works online. | Predlog temelji na členu 50(2)(g) ter členih 53 in 62 PDEU, saj spodbuja svobodo opravljanja storitev. Z uvedbo ključnih standardov upravljanja in preglednosti v kolektivnih organizacijah bi se zaščitili interesi članov in uporabnikov, s čimer bi se tudi omogočilo in spodbujalo zagotavljanje čezmejnega kolektivnega upravljanja storitev, zlasti ker organizacije običajno upravljajo pravice imetnikov pravic iz drugih držav članic (tudi prek tako imenovanih sporazumov o zastopanju, ki jih kolektivne organizacije običajno sklepajo s kolektivnimi organizacijami v drugih državah članicah) in čezmejne tokove licenčnin. Poleg tega se bo z obravnavo razdrobljenosti pravil, ki veljajo za kolektivno upravljanje pravic v Evropi, olajšal prosti pretok vseh tistih storitev, ki so odvisne od vsebine, zaščitene z avtorskimi in sorodnimi pravicami. Zlasti z ukrepi za lažje izdajanje večozemeljskih licenc ponudnikom spletnih storitev se bosta znatno olajšala distribucija takšnih spletnih glasbenih del na spletu in dostop do njih. |
| 3.2. Subsidiary and proportionality | 3.2. Subsidiarnost in sorazmernost |
| The EU action is necessary under the principle of subsidiarity (Article 5(3) TFEU) as the legal framework at both national and EU levels has proved to be insufficient to address the problems. The Union has already enacted legislation which harmonises the principal rights of rightholders that are managed by collecting societies[14] and that the management of those rights in the internal market should take place in a comparable, effective and transparent manner across national borders. Moreover, the objectives of the proposed action cannot be achieved sufficiently by Member States and could thus be better achieved at EU level on account of the trans-national nature of the problems: | Potrebni so ukrepi EU v skladu z načelom subsidiarnosti (člen 5(3) PDEU), saj se je pravni okvir na nacionalni ravni in ravni EU izkazal za nezadostnega za obravnavanje težav. Unija je že sprejela zakonodajo, s katero se usklajujejo osnovne pravice imetnikov pravic, ki jih upravljajo kolektivne organizacije[14], in o tem, da mora upravljanje teh pravic na notranjem trgu potekati na primerljiv, učinkovit in pregleden način prek nacionalnih meja. Poleg tega ciljev predlaganih ukrepov ni mogoče zadovoljivo doseči na ravni držav članic in jih je zaradi čezmejne narave težav lažje doseči na ravni EU: |
| - As regards governance and transparency, a significant share of royalty collections in collecting societies derives from the non-domestic repertoire. The problem of members that do not have oversight of their society’s activities is more pronounced with respect to foreign rightholders. As they are not members of the relevant collecting societies, they have little insight into, and even less influence on, the decision-making process of societies acting on behalf of their own society. Protecting the interests of EU rightholders requires all royalty flows, and in particular cross-border flows, to be transparent and accounted for. It is unlikely that in the future Member States would ensure the transparency needed for rightholders to exercise their rights cross-border. EU intervention is the only way of ensuring the exercise of rights and, in particular, the collection and distribution of royalties in a consistent manner across the EU. | - kar zadeva upravljanje in preglednost, znaten delež pobranih licenčnin v kolektivnih organizacijah izhaja iz tujega repertoarja. Težava članov, ki nimajo nadzora nad dejavnostmi organizacije, je večja v primeru tujih imetnikov pravic. Ker niso člani zadevnih kolektivnih organizacij, nimajo vpogleda v postopek odločanja organizacij, ki delujejo v imenu njihove lastne organizacije, še manj pa lahko vplivajo nanj. Pri zaščiti interesov imetnikov pravic v EU je nujno, da so vsi tokovi licenčnin in zlasti čezmejni tokovi licenčnin pregledni in upoštevani. Malo verjetno je, da bodo države članice v prihodnosti zagotovile preglednost, ki je potrebna, da bodo lahko imetniki pravic svoje pravice uveljavljali čezmejno. Ukrepanje na ravni EU je edini način za zagotovitev uveljavljanja pravic ter dosledno pobiranje in razdelitev licenčnin v EU. |
| - Multi-territorial licensing for online uses of musical works is, by definition, of a cross-border nature. Rules intended to ensure the smooth functioning of multi-territorial licensing are accordingly better set up at EU level since Member States would not be in a position to draw up rules which would coherently address the cross-border activities of collecting societies. | - izdajanje večozemeljskih licenc za spletno uporabo glasbenih del je po naravi čezmejno. Pravila za zagotovitev nemotenega izvajanja večozemeljskega licenciranja so zato ustreznejša, če se oblikujejo na ravni EU, ker države članice ne morejo oblikovati pravil, ki bi skladno obravnavala čezmejne dejavnosti kolektivnih organizacij. |
| The proposal respects the principle of proportionality (Article 5(4) TEU), and it does not go beyond what is necessary to achieve the objectives pursued. The proposed rules on the governance and transparency codify, to a large extent, existing case-law of the Court of Justice in the context of decisions of the Commission taken in the area of antitrust[15]. They also take into account the size of collecting societies and allow Member States to exclude the smallest ones from certain obligations that may be disproportionate. The rules on multi-territorial licensing for online uses of musical works are limited to authors' rights and are the minimum principles needed to make an effective and modern licensing system workable in the digital era and to guarantee the repertoire aggregation, including niche and less-known musical works. Appropriate safeguards are provided in this regard: e.g. a collecting society will have the choice as to whether to carry out the multi-territorial licensing of its repertoire itself or to entrust other societies with it; also an author will not be locked in to a society which is unwilling either to grant multi-territorial licences directly or to allow another society to do so on its behalf. | Predlog je v skladu z načelom sorazmernosti (člen 5(4) PEU) in ne presega tistega, kar je potrebno za doseganje zastavljenih ciljev. Predlagana pravila o upravljanju in preglednosti v velikem obsegu uzakonjajo obstoječo sodno prakso Sodišča Evropske unije v okviru sklepov Komisije s področja varstva konkurence[15]. Upoštevajo tudi velikost kolektivnih organizacij in državam članicam omogočajo izključitev manjših organizacij iz nekaterih obveznosti, ki bi lahko bile nesorazmerne. Pravila o izdajanju večozemeljskih licenc za spletno uporabo glasbenih del so omejena na pravice avtorjev in pomenijo minimalna načela, ki jih je treba upoštevati za učinkovit, sodoben in delujoč sistem licenciranja v digitalni dobi ter za zagotovitev združevanja repertoarja, vključno z nišnimi in manj znanimi glasbenimi deli. V ta namen so zagotovljeni ustrezni zaščitni ukrepi: kolektivna organizacija se bo na primer lahko odločila, da bo sama izdajala večozemeljske licence za svoj repertoar ali da bo za to pooblastila druge organizacije; avtor tudi ne bo vezan na organizacijo, ki ne želi neposredno izdajati večozemeljskih licenc ali ne dovoljuje, da bi jih v njenem imenu izdajala druga organizacija. |
| 3.3. Choice of legal instrument | 3.3. Izbira pravnega instrumenta |
| The Commission proposes a Directive. This is in conformity with the requirements of Articles 50(2)(g), 53 and 62 TFEU. Also, a directive allows for the necessary flexibility as to the means to achieve these objectives and takes into account the fact that Member States have different approaches as regards the legal form of collecting societies and the way such societies are supervised. | Komisija predlaga direktivo. To je v skladu z zahtevami iz člena 50(2)(g) ter členov 53 in 62 PDEU. Direktiva tudi omogoča potrebno prilagodljivost glede načina doseganja teh ciljev in upošteva dejstvo, da imajo države članice različne ureditve v zvezi s pravno obliko kolektivnih organizacij in nadzorom nad njimi. |
| 3.4. Explanation of the proposal | 3.4. Razlaga predloga |
| 3.4.1. Scope and definitions | 3.4.1. Področje uporabe in opredelitev pojmov |
| Title I contains general provisions on subject matter ( Article 1 ), scope ( Article 2 ) and definitions ( Article 3 ). The Directive applies to: (i) the management of copyright and related rights by collecting societies, irrespective of the sector in which the societies are active (Title II),[16] and (ii) the multi-territorial licensing of online rights in musical works by authors' collecting societies (Title III). Titles I and II also apply to societies that carry out multi-territorial licensing under Title III. | Naslov I vsebuje splošne določbe o vsebini ( člen 1 ), področju uporabe ( člen 2 ) in opredelitvi pojmov ( člen 3 ). Direktiva se nanaša na: (i) upravljanje avtorskih in sorodnih pravic s strani kolektivnih organizacij, ne glede na sektor, v katerem organizacije delujejo (naslov II)[16], in (ii) izdajanje večozemeljskih licenc za spletne pravice za glasbena dela s strani kolektivnih organizacij avtorjev (naslov III). Naslova I in II se uporabljata tudi za organizacije, ki izdajajo večozemeljske licence na podlagi naslova III. |
| 3.4.2. Collecting societies | 3.4.2. Kolektivne organizacije |
| Title II establishes organisational and transparency rules which apply to all types of collecting societies. | Naslov II določa pravila glede organizacije in preglednosti, ki veljajo za vse vrste kolektivnih organizacij. |
| Chapter 1 provides for rules governing the membership organisation of collecting societies. Article 4 lays down certain requirements which should apply to the relations between collecting societies and rightholders. Article 5 ensures that rightholders can authorise the collecting society of their choice to manage rights and to withdraw such authorisation partially or completely. Societies should base their rules on membership and participation in the internal decision-making on objective criteria. ( Article 6) . Article 7 sets out the minimum powers of the general meeting of the members. Article 8 requires collecting societies to establish a supervisory function enabling their members to monitor and exercise control over their management, while respecting the different institutional arrangements in the Member States. Article 9 establishes certain obligations to ensure that societies are managed in a prudent and sound manner. | Poglavje 1 določa pravila, ki urejajo članstvo v kolektivnih organizacijah in njihovo organizacijo. Člen 4 določa nekatere zahteve, ki bi se morale uporabljati za odnose med kolektivnimi organizacijami in imetniki pravic. Člen 5 zagotavlja, da imetniki pravic lahko pooblastijo kolektivno organizacijo po svoji izbiri za upravljanje pravic in prekličejo tako pooblastilo delno ali v celoti. Pravila organizacij o članstvu in sodelovanju pri notranjem odločanju morajo temeljiti na objektivnih merilih ( člen 6 ). Člen 7 določa minimalna pooblastila skupščine članov. V skladu s členom 8 morajo kolektivne organizacije vzpostaviti nadzorno funkcijo, ki bo njihovim članom omogočala spremljanje in nadziranje njihovega upravljanja ter hkrati upoštevala različne institucionalne ureditve v državah članicah. Člen 9 določa nekatere obveznosti, s katerimi se bo zagotovilo, da se z organizacijami upravlja smotrno in preudarno. |
| Chapter 2 sets out rules on collecting societies’ financial management: | Poglavje 2 določa pravila o finančnem upravljanju kolektivnih organizacij: |
| - income collected as a result of the exploitation of the rights represented must be separated from the society's own assets and must be managed under strict conditions (Article 10) ; | - prihodek, pobran iz naslova izkoriščanja zastopanih pravic, mora biti ločen od lastnih sredstev organizacije, pri čemer je treba pri upravljanju z njim upoštevati stroge pogoje ( člen 10 ); |
| - a collecting society must specify the applicable deductions in its agreements with rightholders and assure members and rightholders fair access to any social, cultural or educational services, if funded by deductions ( Article 11 ); | - kolektivna organizacija mora v sporazumih z imetniki pravic opredeliti veljavne odbitke ter članom in imetnikom pravic zagotoviti pošten dostop do vseh socialnih, kulturnih ali izobraževalnih storitev, če se financirajo z odbitki ( člen 11 ); |
| - collecting societies must pay the amounts due to rightholders accurately and without undue delay and make efforts to identify rightholders ( Article 12). | - kolektivne organizacije morajo imetnikom pravic nemudoma plačati točne zneske in si prizadevati za identifikacijo imetnikov pravic ( člen 12 ). |
| Chapter 3 establishes the non-discrimination requirement for the management by a collecting society of rights on behalf of another society pursuant to a representation agreement ( Article 13 ). There is no possibility of deducting the amounts which are due to another society without the latter's express consent and payments should be made accurately to other societies ( Article 14) . | Poglavje 3 določa zahtevo glede nediskriminacije pri upravljanju pravic s strani kolektivne organizacije v imenu druge organizacije na podlagi sporazuma o zastopanju ( člen 13 ). Zneskov, ki jih je treba plačati drugi organizaciji, ni mogoče odbiti brez njenega izrecnega soglasja, pri čemer je treba plačila drugim organizacijam izvesti natančno ( člen 14 ). |
| Chapter 4 requires collecting societies and users to conduct negotiations in good faith. Tariffs should be based on objective criteria and reflect the value of the rights in trade and of the actual service provided by the society ( Article 15 ). | V skladu s poglavjem 4 se morajo kolektivne organizacije in uporabniki pogajati v dobri veri. Tarife morajo temeljiti na objektivnih merilih ter odražati vrednost pravic, s katerimi se trguje, in dejanske storitve, ki jo zagotavlja organizacija ( člen 15 ). |
| Chapter 5 (transparency and reporting) requires the following levels of disclosure by collecting societies: | V skladu s poglavjem 5 (preglednost in poročanje) morajo kolektivne organizacije upoštevati naslednje ravni razkritja: |
| - information to rightholders on amounts collected and paid, management fees charged and other deductions made ( Article 16 ); | - obveščanje imetnikov pravic o pobranih in plačanih zneskih, zaračunanih provizijah za upravljanje in izvedenih drugih odbitkih ( člen 16 ); |
| - information to other collecting societies on the management of rights under representation agreements ( Article 17 ); | - obveščanje drugih kolektivnih organizacij o upravljanju pravic na podlagi sporazumov o zastopanju ( člen 17 ); |
| - information to rightholders, other societies and users on request ( Article 18 ); | - obveščanje imetnikov pravic, drugih organizacij in uporabnikov na zahtevo ( člen 18 ); |
| - information made public on the organisation and functioning of the society ( Article 19 ); | - obveščanje javnosti o organiziranosti in delovanju organizacije ( člen 19 ); |
| - annual publication of a transparency report, including governance principles and their implementation, financial statements, etc. ( Article 20 ). | - letna objava poročila o preglednosti, vključno z načeli upravljanja in njihovim izvajanjem, finančnimi poročili itd. ( člen 20 ). |
| 3.4.3. Multi-territor ial licensing by authors' collecting societies of online rights in musical works | 3.4.3. Izdajanje večozemeljskih licenc za spletne pravice za glasbena dela s strani kolektivnih organizacij avtorjev |
| Title III establishes the conditions that an authors' collecting society must respect when providing multi-territorial licensing services for online rights in musical works ( Article 21 ): | Naslov III določa pogoje, ki jih mora kolektivna organizacija avtorjev izpolnjevati pri zagotavljanju storitev izdajanja večozemeljskih licenc za spletne pravice za glasbena dela ( člen 21 ), in sicer: |
| - being able to process efficiently and transparently the data needed for the exploitation of such licences (e.g. identifying of its music repertoire, monitoring of its usage) by using a time-sensitive, authoritative database containing the necessary data ( Article 22 ); | - sposobnost učinkovite in pregledne obdelave podatkov, potrebnih za izkoriščanje takšnih licenc (npr. opredelitev glasbenega repertoarja, spremljanje njegove uporabe), z uporabo časovno občutljivih, veljavnih zbirk podatkov, ki vsebujejo potrebne podatke ( člen 22 ); |
| - being transparent as regards the online music repertoire it represents ( Article 23 ); | - preglednost v zvezi s spletnim glasbenim repertoarjem, ki ga zastopa ( člen 23 ); |
| - offering rightholders and other societies the possibility to correct the relevant data and to ensure their accuracy ( Article 24 ); | - ponujanje možnosti imetnikom pravic in drugim organizacijam, da popravijo ustrezne podatke in zagotovijo njihovo točnost ( člen 24 ); |
| - monitoring the actual usage of the works covered by the licences, being capable of processing usage reports and invoicing. Procedures to enable the user to challenge the accuracy of invoices (e.g. to avoid double invoicing) must be established. Appropriate industry standards, where available, should be used ( Article 25 ); | - spremljanje dejanske uporabe del, ki jih pokrivajo licence, sposobnost obdelave poročil o uporabi in zaračunavanja. Vzpostaviti je treba postopke, da lahko uporabnik izpodbija točnost računov (npr. da se prepreči dvojno zaračunavanje). Uporabiti je treba ustrezne industrijske standarde, če so na voljo ( člen 25 ); |
| - paying rightholders and other collecting societies without delay and provide them with information on works used and financial data related to their rights (e.g. amounts collected, deductions made) ( Article 26 ). | - takojšnje plačevanje imetnikom pravic in drugim kolektivnim organizacijam ter njihovo obveščanje o uporabljenih delih in finančnih podatkih v zvezi z njihovimi pravicami (npr. pobrani zneski, izvedeni odbitki) ( člen 26 ). |
| A collecting society may decide not to grant multi-territorial licences for online rights in musical works, but it could continue to grant national licences for its own repertoire and/or national licences for the repertoire of other societies through reciprocal agreements. However, in order to ensure that repertoires can be easily aggregated for the benefit of music service providers who want to offer a service as complete as possible across Europe and for the benefit of cultural diversity and consumers at large, specific safeguards will apply to ensure that the repertoire of all societies have access to multi-territorial licensing: | Kolektivna organizacija se lahko odloči, da ne bo izdajala večozemeljskih licenc za spletne pravice za glasbena dela, vendar lahko še naprej izdaja nacionalne licence za lasten repertoar in/ali nacionalne licence za repertoar drugih organizacij na podlagi vzajemnih sporazumov. Kljub temu se bodo zaradi zagotovitve, da se lahko repertoarji enostavno združujejo v korist ponudnikov glasbenih storitev, ki želijo zagotavljati čim popolnejšo storitev po vsej Evropi, ter v korist kulturne raznolikosti in potrošnikov na splošno, uporabljali posebni zaščitni ukrepi za zagotovitev, da je za repertoar vseh kolektivnih organizacij mogoče pridobiti večozemeljsko licenco: |
| - a collecting society may request another society granting multi-territorial multi-repertoire licences to have its repertoire represented on a non-discriminatory and non-exclusive basis for the purpose of multi-territorial licensing ( Article 28 ). The society receiving the request may not refuse if it is already representing (or if it offers to represent) the repertoire of one or more collecting societies for the same purpose ( Article 29 ); | - kolektivna organizacija lahko drugo organizacijo, ki izdaja večozemeljske licence za več repertoarjev, zaprosi za nediskriminacijsko in neizključno zastopanje njenega repertoarja za namene izdajanja večozemeljskih licenc ( člen 28 ). Organizacija, ki prejme prošnjo, je ne sme zavrniti, če v enak namen že zastopa repertoar (ali ponudi zastopanje repertoarja) ene ali več kolektivnih organizacij ( člen 29 ); |
| - following a transitional period, rightholders may grant licences (either directly or through another intermediary) for their own online rights if their collecting society does not grant multi-territorial licences and if it does not enter into one of the agreements mentioned above ( Article 30 ). | - po prehodnem obdobju lahko imetniki pravic izdajajo licence (neposredno ali prek drugega posrednika) za lastne spletne pravice, če njihova kolektivna organizacija ne izdaja večozemeljskih licenc in ne sklene enega od navedenih sporazumov ( člen 30 ). |
| A society is allowed to outsource services related to the multi-territorial licences it grants, without prejudice to its liability towards rightholders, online service providers or other collecting societies ( Article 27 ). Title III must also apply to subsidiaries of collecting societies covered by the Title ( Article 31 ). | Kolektivna organizacija lahko storitve v zvezi z večozemeljskimi licencami, ki jih izdaja, odda v zunanje izvajanje, brez poseganja v njeno odgovornost do imetnikov pravic, ponudnikov spletnih storitev ali drugih kolektivnih organizacij ( člen 27 ). Naslov III se mora uporabljati tudi za podružnice kolektivnih organizacij, ki so zajete v naslovu ( člen 31 ). |
| To achieve the degree of flexibility required to encourage the granting of licences to innovative online services (i.e. which have been available to the public for less than 3 years), collecting societies are allowed to grant such licences without being required to use them as a precedent for the purposes of determining the terms of other licences (Article 32). By way of exception, collecting societies do not need to comply with Title III when granting multi-territorial licences to broadcasters for the online use of their radio or television programmes containing musical works ( Article 33 ). | Da se doseže stopnja prilagodljivosti, potrebna za spodbujanje izdajanja licenc za inovativne spletne storitve (tj. ki so javnosti na voljo manj kot 3 leta), lahko kolektivne organizacije izdajajo takšne licence, ne da bi to zanje pomenilo precedens za namene določanja pogojev drugih licenc ( člen 32 ). Kolektivnim organizacijam izjemoma ni treba izpolnjevati zahtev iz naslova III, kadar izdajajo večozemeljske licence izdajateljem programov za spletno uporabo njihovih radijskih ali televizijskih programov, ki zajemajo glasbena dela ( člen 33 ). |
| 3.4.4. Enforcement measures | 3.4.4. Izvršilni ukrepi |
| In Title IV collecting societies are required to make available to their members and rightholders complaint and dispute resolution procedures ( Article 34). Mechanisms should also be available to settle disputes on licensing conditions between users and collecting societies ( Article 35 ). Finally, certain types of disputes, in relation to multi-territorial licensing, between collecting societies and users, rightholders or other societies could be submitted to an independent and impartial alternative dispute resolution system ( Article 36 ). | V skladu z naslovom IV morajo kolektivne organizacije svojim članom in imetnikom pravic omogočiti dostop do pritožbenih postopkov in postopkov za reševanje sporov ( člen 34 ). Prav tako morajo biti na voljo mehanizmi za reševanje sporov v zvezi s pogoji licenciranja med uporabniki in kolektivnimi organizacijami ( člen 35 ). Nekatere vrste sporov v zvezi z izdajanjem večozemeljskih licenc med kolektivnimi organizacijami in uporabniki, imetniki pravic ali drugimi organizacijami pa bi bilo mogoče reševati tudi v okviru neodvisnega in nepristranskega sistema alternativnega reševanja sporov ( člen 36 ). |
| Member States shall designate the appropriate competent authorities empowered to ( Article 39 ): (a) administer complaints procedures ( Article 37 ); (b) administer effective, proportionate and dissuasive sanctions ( Article 38 ) and (c) monitor the application of Title III ( Article 40 ). Article 39, however, does not impose on Member States to set up independent supervisors specifically dedicated to the oversight of collecting societies. | Države članice določijo ustrezne pristojne organe, ki so pooblaščeni za ( člen 39 ): (a) vodenje pritožbenih postopkov ( člen 37 ); (b) nalaganje učinkovitih, sorazmernih in odvračilnih sankcij ( člen 38 ) ter (c) spremljanje izvajanja naslova III ( člen 40 ). Vendar člen 39 od držav članic ne zahteva določitve neodvisnih nadzornikov, zadolženih le za nadzor nad kolektivnimi organizacijami. |
| 3.4.5 Fundamental rights and specific recitals | 3.4.5 Temeljne pravice in posebne uvodne izjave |
| The proposal provides for effective safeguards regarding the application of fundamental rights as laid down in the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union. The safeguards required from collecting societies as regards their governance and the conditions on the provision of cross-border multi-territorial licences for online rights in musical works would restrict the freedom of collecting societies to conduct a business, as defined in the Charter, compared to the existing situation. However, such restrictions would respect the conditions set out in the Charter, which provides that the exercise of the relevant freedoms may be limited, under certain circumstances. These restrictions are necessary to protect the interests of the members, rightholders and users and to set minimum quality standards for the exercise by collecting societies of their freedom to provide multi-territorial licensing services for online uses of musical works in the internal market. | Predlog določa učinkovite zaščitne ukrepe v zvezi z uporabo temeljnih pravic, kakor je določeno v Listini o temeljnih pravicah Evropske unije. Zaščitni ukrepi, ki jih morajo sprejeti kolektivne organizacije v zvezi s svojim delovanjem, ter pogoji o izdajanju čezmejnih večozemeljskih licenc za spletne pravice za glasbena dela bi v primerjavi s sedanjim stanjem omejili svobodo gospodarske pobude, kakor je opredeljena v Listini, za kolektivne organizacije. Vendar bi takšne omejitve upoštevale pogoje iz Listine, ki določa, da je mogoče uresničevanje zadevnih svoboščin pod določenimi pogoji omejiti. Te omejitve so potrebne za zaščito interesov članov, imetnikov pravic in uporabnikov ter za določitev standardov minimalne kakovosti pri uresničevanju svobode kolektivnih organizacij, da opravljajo storitve izdajanja večozemeljskih za spletno uporabo na notranjem trgu. |
| Due to the complexity and scope of the proposal, Member States are required to transmit a correlation table of the provisions of their national law and the Directive. | Zaradi zapletenosti in področja uporabe predloga morajo države članice predložiti korelacijsko tabelo določb svoje nacionalne zakonodaje in Direktive. |

| DIRECTIVE OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL | DIREKTIVA EVROPSKEGA PARLAMENTA IN SVETA |
| on collective management of copyright and related rights and multi-territorial licensing of rights in musical works for online uses in the internal market | o kolektivnem upravljanju avtorskih in sorodnih pravic ter izdajanju večozemeljskih licenc za pravice za glasbena dela za spletno uporabo na notranjem trgu |
| (Text with EEA relevance) | (Besedilo velja za EGP) |
| THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION, | EVROPSKI PARLAMENT IN SVET EVROPSKE UNIJE STA – |
| Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Articles 50(2)(g), 53 and 62 thereof, | ob upoštevanju Pogodbe o delovanju Evropske unije in zlasti člena 50(2)(g) ter členov 53 in 62 Pogodbe, |
| Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission, | ob upoštevanju predloga Evropske komisije, |
| After transmission of the draft legislative act to the national Parliaments, | po posredovanju osnutka zakonodajnega akta nacionalnim parlamentom, |
| Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee[17], | ob upoštevanju mnenja Evropskega ekonomsko-socialnega odbora[17], |
| After consulting the European Data Protection Supervisor, | po posvetovanju z Evropskim nadzornikom za varstvo podatkov, |
| Acting in accordance with the ordinary legislative procedure, | v skladu z rednim zakonodajnim postopkom, |
| Whereas: | ob upoštevanju naslednjega: |
| (1) The directives which have been adopted in the area of copyright and related rights already provide a high level of protection for rightholders and thereby for a framework where the exploitation of content protected by these rights can take place. They contribute to developing and maintaining creativity. In an internal market where competition is not distorted, protecting innovation and intellectual creation also encourages investment in innovative services and products. | (1) Direktive, ki so bile sprejete na področju avtorskih in sorodnih pravic, že zagotavljajo visoko stopnjo zaščite imetnikov pravic in s tem okvir, v katerem lahko pride do izkoriščanja vsebine, zaščitene s temi pravicami. Prispevajo k razvoju in ohranjanju ustvarjalnosti. Na notranjem trgu, na katerem ni izkrivljanja konkurence, zaščita inovacij in intelektualnega ustvarjanja spodbuja tudi naložbe v inovativne storitve in izdelke. |
| (2) The dissemination of content which is protected by copyright and related rights and the linked services, including books, audiovisual productions and recorded music require the licensing of rights by different holders of copyright and related rights, such as authors, performers, producers and publishers. It is normally for the rightholders to choose between the individual or collective management of their rights. Management of copyright and related rights includes the granting of licences to users, the auditing of licensees and monitoring of the use of rights, the enforcement of copyright and related rights, the collection of rights revenue derived from the exploitation of rights and the distribution of the amounts due to rightholders. Collecting societies enable rightholders to be remunerated for uses which they would not be in a position to control or enforce themselves, including in non-domestic markets. Moreover, they have an important social and cultural role as promoters of the diversity of cultural expressions by enabling the smallest and less popular repertoires to access the market. Article 167 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union requires the Union to take cultural aspects into account in its action, in particular in order to respect and to promote the diversity of its cultures. | (2) Za razširjanje vsebine, zaščitene z avtorskimi in sorodnimi pravicami, ter povezanih storitev, ki vključujejo knjige, avdiovizualne produkcije in glasbene posnetke, je potrebno licenciranje pravic s strani različnih imetnikov avtorskih in sorodnih pravic, kot so avtorji, izvajalci, producenti in založniki. Običajno lahko imetniki pravic izbirajo med individualnim ali kolektivnim upravljanjem njihovih pravic. Upravljanje avtorskih in sorodnih pravic vključuje izdajanje licenc uporabnikom, revizijo imetnikov licenc in spremljanje uporabe pravic, uveljavljanje avtorskih in sorodnih pravic, pobiranje prihodkov iz pravic na podlagi izkoriščanja pravic ter razdelitev neporavnanih zneskov imetnikom pravic. Imetniki pravic lahko prek kolektivnih organizacij prejmejo nadomestilo za uporabo, ki ga sami ne bi mogli nadzirati ali uveljavljati, in sicer tudi na tujih trgih. Poleg tega imajo pomembno družbeno in kulturno vlogo pri spodbujanju raznolikosti kulturnih izrazov, tako da se najmanjšim in manj priljubljenim repertoarjem omogoči dostop do trga. Člen 167 Pogodbe o delovanju Evropske unije določa, da Unija pri svoji dejavnosti upošteva kulturne vidike, zlasti zaradi spoštovanja in spodbujanja raznolikosti svojih kultur. |
| (3) When established in the Union, collecting societies – as service providers – must comply with the national requirements pursuant to Directive 2006/123/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 12 December 2006 on services in the internal market[18] which seeks to create a legal framework for ensuring the freedom of establishment and the free movement of services between the Member States. This implies that collecting societies should be free to provide their services across borders, to represent rightholders resident or established in other Member States or grant licences to users resident or established in other Member States. | (3) Kadar imajo kolektivne organizacije sedež v Uniji, morajo kot ponudniki storitev izpolnjevati nacionalne zahteve v skladu z Direktivo 2006/123/ES Evropskega parlamenta in Sveta z dne 12. decembra 2006 o storitvah na notranjem trgu[18], katere cilj je oblikovanje pravnega okvira, s katerim se zagotovita svoboda ustanavljanja in prosti pretok storitev med državami članicami. To pomeni, da bi morale imeti kolektivne organizacije možnost zagotavljanja čezmejnih storitev zastopanja imetnikov pravic s stalnim prebivališčem ali sedežem v drugih državah članicah ali izdajanja licenc uporabnikom s stalnim prebivališčem ali sedežem v drugih državah članicah. |
| (4) There are significant differences in the national rules governing the functioning of collecting societies, in particular as regards their transparency and accountability towards their members and rightholders. Beyond the difficulties non-domestic rightholders face when exercising their rights and the too often poor financial management of the revenues collected, problems with the functioning of collecting societies lead to inefficiencies in the exploitation of copyright and related rights across the internal market to the detriment of the members of collecting societies, rightholders and users alike. These difficulties do not arise in the functioning of independent rights management service providers who act as agents for rightholders for the management of their rights on a commercial basis and in which rightholders do not exercise membership rights. | (4) Nacionalna pravila, ki urejajo delovanje kolektivnih organizacij, se med seboj bistveno razlikujejo, zlasti kar zadeva njihovo preglednost in odgovornost do članov in imetnikov pravic. Poleg težav, ki jih imajo tuji imetniki pravic pri uveljavljanju svojih pravic, in pogosto slabega finančnega upravljanja prejetih prihodkov je izkoriščanje avtorskih in sorodnih pravic na notranjem trgu neučinkovito v škodo članov kolektivnih organizacij, imetnikov pravic in uporabnikov tudi zaradi težav pri delovanju kolektivnih organizacij. Te težave se ne pojavljajo pri delovanju neodvisnih ponudnikov storitev upravljanja pravic, ki delujejo kot predstavniki imetnikov pravic in upravljajo njihove pravice na komercialni podlagi, pri čemer pa imetniki pravic ne uveljavljajo pravic članstva. |
| (5) The need to improve the functioning of collecting societies has already been identified in the past. Commission Recommendation 2005/737/EC of 18 May 2005 on collective cross-border management of copyright and related rights for legitimate online music services[19] set out a number of principles, such as the freedom of rightholders to choose their collecting society, the equal treatment of categories of rightholders and the equitable distribution of royalties. It also called on collecting societies to provide users with sufficient information on tariffs and repertoire in advance of the negotiations. Finally, it contained recommendations on accountability, rightholder representation in the decision-making bodies of collecting societies and dispute resolution. Commission Recommendation 2005/737/EC was however a non-binding instrument limited in scope. Consequently, it has been unevenly followed. | (5) Potreba po izboljšanju delovanja kolektivnih organizacij je bila ugotovljena že v preteklosti. V Priporočilu Komisije 2005/737/ES z dne 18. maja 2005 o kolektivnem čezmejnem upravljanju avtorskih in sorodnih pravic za zakonite spletne glasbene storitve[19] je določenih več načel, kot so svoboda imetnikov pravic pri izbiri kolektivne organizacije, enaka obravnava kategorij imetnikov pravic in pravična razdelitev licenčnin. Poleg tega so bile kolektivne organizacije pozvane, naj uporabnikom pred začetkom pogajanj zagotovijo zadostne informacije o tarifah in repertoarju. Vključena so tudi priporočila o odgovornosti, zastopanosti imetnikov pravic v organih odločanja kolektivnih organizacij in reševanju sporov. Vendar je bilo Priporočilo Komisije 2005/737/ES nezavezujoč dokument z omejenim področjem uporabe. Zato se ga ni povsod enako upoštevalo. |
| (6) The protection of the interests of the members of collecting societies, rightholders and third parties requires that the laws of the Member States related to copyright management and multi-territorial licensing for online rights in musical works be coordinated with a view to having equivalent safeguards throughout the Union. Accordingly, the Directive is based on Article 50(2)(g) of the Treaty. | (6) Da se zagotovijo enakovredni zaščitni ukrepi po vsej Uniji, morajo biti zaradi zaščite interesov članov kolektivnih organizacij, imetnikov pravic in tretjih oseb zakonodaje držav članic v zvezi z upravljanjem avtorskih pravic in izdajanjem večozemeljskih licenc za spletne pravice za glasbena dela usklajene. Direktiva tako temelji na členu 50(2)(g) Pogodbe. |
| (7) This Directive should aim at coordinating national rules concerning the access to the activity of managing copyright and related rights by collecting societies, the modalities for their governance, and their supervisory framework and is also based on Article 53(1) of the Treaty. In addition, since this is a sector offering services across the Union, this Directive is also based on Article 62 of the Treaty. | (7) Ta direktiva bi morala biti usmerjena v usklajevanje nacionalnih pravil v zvezi z dostopom do dejavnosti upravljanja avtorskih in sorodnih pravic, ki jih opravljajo kolektivne organizacije, načini njihovega vodenja ter okvirom nadzora nad njimi, pri čemer ta direktiva temelji na členu 53(1) Pogodbe. Ker gre za sektor, ki zagotavlja storitve po vsej Uniji, ta direktiva temelji tudi na členu 62 Pogodbe. |
| (8) In order to ensure that holders of copyright and related rights can fully benefit from the internal market when their rights are being managed collectively and that their freedom to exercise their rights is not unduly affected, it is necessary to provide for the inclusion of appropriate safeguards in the constituting documents of collecting societies. Moreover, in accordance with Directive 2006/123/EC collecting societies should not discriminate, directly or indirectly, between rightholders on the basis of their nationality, place of residence or place of establishment when providing their management services. | (8) Za zagotovitev, da lahko imetniki avtorskih in sorodnih pravic v celoti izkoristijo vse prednosti notranjega trga, kadar se njihove pravice upravljajo kolektivno, in da se prepreči neupravičeno poseganje v njihovo svobodo do uveljavljanja pravic, je treba v ustanovne listine kolektivnih organizacij vključiti ustrezne zaščitne ukrepe. Poleg tega v skladu z Direktivo 2006/123/ES kolektivne organizacije pri zagotavljanju svojih storitev upravljanja ne bi smele neposredno ali posredno diskriminirati imetnikov pravic na podlagi njihovega državljanstva, stalnega prebivališča ali sedeža. |
| (9) Having the freedom to provide and to receive collective management services across national borders entails that rightholders are able to freely choose the collecting society for the management of their rights, such as public performance or broadcasting rights, or categories of rights, such as interactive communication to the public, provided the collecting society already manages such rights or categories of rights. This implies that rightholders can easily withdraw their rights or categories of rights from a collecting society and entrust or transfer all or part of them to another collecting society or another entity irrespective of the Member State of residence or the nationality of either the collecting society or the rightholder. Collecting societies managing different types of works and other subject matter, such as literary, musical or photographic works, should also allow this flexibility to rightholders as regards the management of different types of works and other subject matter. Collecting societies should inform rightholders of this choice and allow them to exercise it as easily as possible. Finally, this Directive should not prejudice the possibilities of rightholders to manage their rights individually, including for non-commercial uses. | (9) Svoboda opravljanja in uporabe storitev kolektivnega upravljanja, ki sega čez nacionalne meje, pomeni, da lahko imetniki pravic svobodno izberejo kolektivno organizacijo, ki bo upravljala njihove pravice, kot so pravice javnega izvajanja ali oddajanja, ali kategorije pravic, kot je interaktivna komunikacija z javnostjo, če kolektivna organizacija že upravlja takšne pravice ali kategorije pravic. To pomeni, da lahko imetniki pravic enostavno umaknejo svoje pravice ali kategorije pravic iz kolektivne organizacije ter za vse pravice ali kategorije pravic ali njihov del pooblastijo drugo kolektivno organizacijo ali subjekt ali ga nanj prenesejo, ne glede na državo članico stalnega prebivališča ali državljanstvo kolektivne organizacije ali imetnika pravic. Zato bi morale kolektivne organizacije, ki upravljajo različne vrste del ali zadev, kot so literarna, glasbena ali fotografska dela, imetnikom pravic tudi omogočiti to prilagodljivost v zvezi z upravljanjem različnih vrst del ali druge vsebine. Kolektivne organizacije bi morale imetnike pravic obvestiti o tej možnosti izbire in jim omogočiti, da jo čim enostavneje uporabijo. Nazadnje, ta direktiva ne bi smela posegati v možnosti imetnikov pravic, da svoje pravice upravljajo individualno, tudi v primeru nekomercialne uporabe. |
| (10) Membership of collecting societies should be based on objective and non-discriminatory criteria including as regards publishers who by virtue of an agreement on the exploitation of rights, are entitled to a share of the income from the rights managed by collecting societies and to collect such income from the collecting society. | (10) Članstvo v kolektivnih organizacijah bi moralo temeljiti na objektivnih in nediskriminacijskih merilih, tudi v zvezi z založniki, ki so na podlagi sporazuma o izkoriščanju pravic upravičeni do deleža prihodkov iz pravic, ki jih upravljajo kolektivne organizacije, in do izterjave teh prihodkov od kolektivne organizacije. |
| (11) Collecting societies are expected to act in the best interests of their members. It is therefore important to provide for systems which enable members of collecting societies to exercise their membership rights by participating in the societies' decision-making process. The representation of the different categories of members in the decision-making process should be fair and balanced. The effectiveness of the rules on the general meeting of members of collecting societies may be undermined if there were no provisions on how the general meeting should be run. Thus, it is necessary to ensure that the general meeting is convened regularly, and at least annually, and that the most important decisions in the collecting society are taken by the general meeting. | (11) Kolektivne organizacije morajo delovati v najboljšem interesu svojih članov. Zato je pomembno, da se zagotovijo sistemi, ki članom kolektivnih organizacij omogočajo uveljavljanje pravic na podlagi njihovega članstva, in sicer prek sodelovanja pri postopku odločanja organizacij. Zastopanost različnih kategorij članov v postopku sprejemanja odločitev bi morala biti poštena in uravnotežena. Pravila o skupščini članov kolektivnih organizacij bi bila lahko manj učinkovita, če ne bi bilo določb o tem, kako bi morala skupščina potekati. Zato je treba zagotoviti, da se skupščina sklicuje redno in vsaj enkrat letno ter da najpomembnejše odločitve kolektivne organizacije sprejema skupščina. |
| (12) Members of collecting societies should be allowed to participate and vote in the general meeting; the exercise of these rights may only be subject to fair and proportionate restrictions. The exercise of voting rights should be made easy. | (12) Članom kolektivnih organizacij bi bilo treba omogočiti sodelovanje in glasovanje na skupščini. Uveljavljanje teh pravic je lahko predmet samo poštenih in sorazmernih omejitev. Uveljavljanje glasovalnih pravic bi moralo biti enostavno. |
| (13) Members should be allowed to take part in monitoring the management of collecting societies. To this end, collecting societies should establish a supervisory function appropriate to their organisational structure and allow members to be represented in the body that exercises this function. To avoid imposing excessive burden on smaller collecting societies and to make the obligations arising from this Directive proportionate, Member States should be able to, if they consider this to be necessary, exclude the smallest collecting societies from having to organise such a supervisory function. | (13) Državam bi bilo treba omogočiti sodelovanje pri spremljanju upravljanja kolektivnih organizacij. Zato bi morale kolektivne organizacije vzpostaviti nadzorno funkcijo, ki ustreza njihovi organizacijski strukturi, in članom omogočiti zastopanost v organu, ki opravlja to funkcijo. Za preprečitev prevelike obremenitve manjših kolektivnih organizacij in zagotovitev sorazmernosti obveznosti, ki izhajajo iz te direktive, bi morale imeti države članice možnost, da najmanjše kolektivne organizacije izključijo iz obveznosti vzpostavitve takšne nadzorne funkcije, če se jim to zdi potrebno. |
| (14) For reasons of sound management, a collecting society's senior management must be independent. Managers and executive directors should be required to declare annually to the collecting society whether there are conflicts between their interests and those of the society. | (14) Za zagotovitev preudarnega upravljanja mora biti višje vodstvo kolektivne organizacije neodvisno. Vodilni delavci in izvršni direktorji bi morali kolektivni organizaciji vsako leto prijaviti morebitna nasprotja njihovih interesov in interesov organizacije. |
| (15) Collecting societies collect, manage and distribute revenue from the exploitation of the rights entrusted to them by rightholders. This revenue is ultimately due to rightholders who may be members of that society, or another society. It is therefore important that collecting societies exercise the utmost diligence in collecting, managing and distributing that revenue. Accurate distribution is only possible where collecting societies maintain proper records of membership, licences and use of works and other subject matter. Where appropriate, data should also be provided by rightholders and users and verified by the collecting societies. Amounts collected and due to rightholders should be managed separately from any own assets of the collecting society and, if they are invested, pending their distribution to rightholders, this should be carried out in accordance with the investment policy decided by the collecting societies' general meeting. In order to maintain a high level of protection for the rights of rightholders and to ensure that any income which may be derived from exploitation of their rights accrues for the benefit of rightholders, the investments made and held by the collecting society should be managed in accordance with criteria which would oblige the collecting society to act prudently, while allowing the collecting society to decide on the most secure and efficient investment policy. This should allow the colleting society to opt for an asset allocation that suits the precise nature and duration of any exposure to risk of any rights revenue invested and which does not unduly prejudice any rights revenue owed to rightholders. Moreover, in order to ensure that the amounts due to rightholders are appropriately and effectively distributed, it is necessary to require collecting societies to undertake diligent and good faith reasonable measures to identify and locate the relevant rightholders. It is also appropriate to provide for the approval by members of collecting societies of the rules governing any situation where, due to the lack of identified or located rightholders, amounts collected cannot be distributed. | (15) Kolektivne organizacije pobirajo, upravljajo in razdeljujejo prihodek iz naslova izkoriščanja pravic, za katere so jih pooblastili imetniki pravic. Do tega prihodka so končno upravičeni imetniki pravic, ki so lahko člani navedene ali druge organizacije. Zato je pomembno, da kolektivne organizacije zelo skrbno pobirajo, upravljajo in razdeljujejo ta prihodek. Točna razporeditev je mogoča le, kadar kolektivne organizacije vodijo ustrezne evidence o članstvu, licencah in uporabi del ter druge vsebine. Kadar je ustrezno, bi morali podatke zagotoviti tudi imetniki pravic in uporabniki, preverjale pa bi jih kolektivne organizacije. Pobrane zneske, do katerih so upravičeni imetniki pravic, bi bilo treba upravljati ločeno od vseh lastnih sredstev kolektivne organizacije, pri čemer bi morala kolektivna organizacija v primeru, ko te zneske pred razdelitvijo imetnikom pravic uporabi za naložbe, upoštevati splošno naložbeno politiko, o kateri odloča skupščina kolektivne organizacije. Za ohranitev visoke ravni zaščite pravic imetnikov pravic in zagotovitev, da se vsi prihodki, ki lahko izhajajo iz izkoriščanja njihov pravic, zagotovijo v korist imetnikov pravic, bi bilo treba naložbe kolektivnih organizacij upravljati v skladu z merili, ki jo zavezujejo k preudarnemu ravnanju in hkrati omogočajo njeno odločanje o najvarnejši in najučinkovitejši naložbeni politiki. To bi moralo omogočiti, da kolektivna organizacija izbere dodelitev sredstev, ki ustreza natančni obliki in trajanju kakršne koli izpostavljenosti tveganju katerih koli naloženih prihodkov iz pravic, ki neupravičeno ne posega v katere koli prihodke iz pravic, do katerih so upravičeni imetniki pravic. Poleg tega morajo kolektivne organizacije za zagotovitev ustrezne in učinkovite razdelitve zneskov, do katerih so upravičeni imetniki pravic, sprejeti skrbne in razumne ukrepe v dobri veri, s katerimi se identificirajo in locirajo ustrezni imetniki pravic. Ustrezno je tudi, da se zagotovi, da člani kolektivnih organizacij odobrijo pravila, ki urejajo kakršne koli razmere, v katerih pobranih zneskov zaradi neidentificiranih ali nelociranih imetnikov pravic ni mogoče razdeliti. |
| (16) Since rightholders are entitled to be remunerated for the exploitation of their rights, it is important for any deduction, other than management fees or deductions required by national law, to be decided by the members of collecting societies and for the societies to be transparent towards rightholders regarding the rules governing those deductions. Any such rightholder should have access in a non-discriminatory manner to any social, cultural or educational service funded through such deductions. However, this Directive should not affect national law on any aspects that are not regulated by this Directive. | (16) Ker so imetniki pravic upravičeni do nadomestila za izkoriščanje njihovih pravic, morajo o vsakem odbitku, ki ni provizija za upravljanje ali odbitek v skladu z nacionalno zakonodajo, odločati člani kolektivnih organizacij, organizacije pa morajo delovati pregledno v odnosu do imetnikov pravic glede na pravila, ki urejajo te odbitke. Vsak tak imetnik pravic bi moral imeti nediskriminacijski dostop do vseh socialnih, kulturnih ali izobraževalnih storitev, ki se financirajo s takimi odbitki. Vendar pa ta direktiva ne bi smela vplivati na nacionalno zakonodajo o kakršnih koli vidikih, ki jih ta direktiva ne ureja. |
| (17) Collecting societies may manage rights and collect revenue from their exploitation ('rights revenue') under representation agreements with other societies. To protect the rights of the members of the other collecting societies, a society should not distinguish between the rights it manages under representation agreements and those it manages directly for its rightholders. Nor should the collecting society be allowed to apply deductions to the rights revenue collected on behalf of another collecting society without the other society's express consent. | (17) Kolektivne organizacije lahko upravljajo pravice in pobirajo prihodke iz naslova njihovega izkoriščanja („prihodki iz pravic“) na podlagi sporazumov o zastopanju z drugimi organizacijami. Organizacija zaradi zaščite pravic članov drugih kolektivnih organizacij ne bi smela razlikovati med pravicami, ki jih upravlja na podlagi sporazumov o zastopanju, in pravicami, ki jih upravlja neposredno v imenu svojih imetnikov pravic. Prav tako se kolektivni organizaciji ne bi smeli dovoliti odbitki od prihodkov iz pravic v imenu druge kolektivne organizacije brez izrecnega soglasja te druge organizacije. |
| (18) Fair commercial terms in licensing are particularly important to ensure that users can license the works and other protected subject-matter for which a collecting society represents rights and to ensure the remuneration of rightholders. Collecting societies and users should therefore conduct licensing negotiations in good faith and apply tariffs determined on the basis of objective criteria. | (18) Pošteni poslovni pogoji licenciranja so zlasti pomembni za zagotovitev, da lahko uporabniki pridobijo licence za dela in drugo zaščiteno vsebino, pri čemer pravice za ta dela zastopa kolektivna organizacija, ter da imetniki pravic prejmejo nadomestilo. Kolektivne organizacije in uporabniki bi zato morali pogajanja v zvezi z licenciranjem voditi v dobri veri in uporabljati tarife, določene na podlagi objektivnih meril. |
| (19) To enhance the trust of rightholders, users and other collecting societies in the management services provided by collecting societies, each collecting society should be required to set up specific transparency measures. Each collecting society should therefore inform individual rightholders of the amounts paid to them and the corresponding deductions made. They should also be required to provide sufficient information, including financial information, to the other collecting societies whose rights they manage through representation agreements. Each collecting society should also make public enough information to ensure that rightholders, users and other collecting societies understand how it is structured and how it carries out its activities. Collecting societies should in particular disclose to rightholders, users and other collecting societies the scope of their repertoire and their rules on fees, deductions and tariffs. | (19) Za okrepitev zaupanja imetnikov pravic, uporabnikov in drugih kolektivnih organizacij v storitve upravljanja, ki jih zagotavljajo kolektivne organizacije, bi morala vsaka kolektivna organizacija vzpostaviti posebne ukrepe za večjo preglednost. Vsaka kolektivna organizacija bi zato morala posamezne imetnike pravic obvestiti o zneskih, ki se jim plačajo, in ustreznih odbitkih. Prav zato bi bilo treba od njih zahtevati, da drugim kolektivnim organizacijam, katerih pravice upravljajo na podlagi sporazumov o zastopanju, zagotovijo zadostne informacije, vključno s finančnimi informacijami. Vsaka kolektivna organizacija bi morala objaviti dovolj informacij za zagotovitev, da imetniki pravic, uporabniki in druge kolektivne organizacije razumejo, kako je strukturirana in kako izvaja svoje dejavnosti. Kolektivne organizacije bi morale imetnikom pravic, uporabnikom in drugim kolektivnim organizacijam zlasti razkriti obseg svojega repertoarja ter pravila o provizijah, odbitkih in tarifah. |
| (20) To ensure that rightholders are in a position to monitor the performance of their collecting societies and compare their respective performance, collecting societies should make public an annual transparency report comprising comparable audited financial information specific to the activities of collecting societies. Collecting societies should also make public an annual special report on the use of amounts dedicated to social, cultural and educational services. To avoid imposing excessive burden on smaller collecting societies and to make the obligations arising from this Directive proportionate, Member States should be able to, if they consider this to be necessary, exclude the smallest collecting societies from certain transparency obligations. | (20) Za zagotovitev, da lahko imetniki pravic spremljajo in primerjajo delovanje svojih kolektivnih organizacij, bi morale kolektivne organizacije objaviti letno poročilo o preglednosti, ki vsebuje primerljive revidirane finančne informacije o dejavnostih kolektivnih organizacij. Kolektivne organizacije bi morale objaviti tudi posebno letno poročilo o uporabi zneskov, namenjenih za socialne, kulturne in izobraževalne storitve. Za preprečitev prevelike obremenitve manjših kolektivnih organizacij in zagotovitev sorazmernosti obveznosti, ki izhajajo iz te direktive, bi morale imeti države članice možnost, da najmanjše kolektivne organizacije izključijo iz nekaterih obveznosti glede preglednosti, če se jim to zdi potrebno. |
| (21) The providers of online services which make use of musical works, such as music services that allow consumers to download music or to listen to it in streaming mode, as well as other services providing access to films or games where music is an important element, must first obtain the right to use such works. Directive 2001/29/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 May 2001 on the harmonisation of certain aspects of copyright and related rights in the information society[20] requires a licence for each of the rights in the online exploitation of musical works. These rights are the exclusive right of reproduction and the exclusive right of communication to the public of musical works, which includes the right of making available. They may be managed by the individual rightholders themselves, such as authors or music publishers, or by collecting societies that provide collective management services to rightholders. Different collecting societies may manage the reproduction and the communication to the public rights of authors. Furthermore, there are instances where several rightholders have rights in the same work and may have authorised different collecting societies to license their respective shares of rights in the work. Any user wishing to provide an online service offering a wide choice of musical works to consumers, would need to aggregate rights in works from different rightholders and collecting societies. | (21) Ponudniki spletnih storitev, pri katerih se uporabljajo glasbena dela, kot so glasbene storitve, ki potrošnikom omogočajo prenos ali pretočno predvajanje glasbe, in tudi druge storitve, ki zagotavljajo dostop do filmov ali iger, pri katerih je glasba pomemben element, morajo najprej pridobiti pravico do uporabe takih del. V skladu z Direktivo 2001/29/ES Evropskega parlamenta in Sveta z dne 22. maja 2001 o usklajevanju določenih vidikov avtorske in sorodnih pravic v informacijski družbi[20] se za vsako pravico pri spletnem izkoriščanju glasbenih del zahteva licenca. To zajema izključno pravico do razmnoževanja in izključno pravico do javne priobčitve glasbenih del, ki vključuje pravico do dajanja na voljo glasbenih del. Upravljajo jih lahko posamezni imetniki pravic, kot so avtorji ali glasbeni založniki, ali kolektivne organizacije, ki imetnikom pravic zagotavljajo storitve kolektivnega upravljanja. Različne kolektivne organizacije lahko upravljajo pravici avtorjev do razmnoževanja in do javne priobčitve glasbenih del. Poleg tega ima lahko v nekaterih primerih pravice za isto delo več imetnikov pravic, ki lahko za izdajanje licenc za svoj delež pravic za zadevno delo pooblastijo različne kolektivne organizacije. Vsak uporabnik, ki želi zagotavljati spletno storitev, pri kateri potrošnikom ponuja širok izbor glasbenih del, bi moral združiti pravice za dela različnih imetnikov pravic in kolektivnih organizacij. |
| (22) While the Internet knows no borders, the online market for music services in the EU is still fragmented, and a single market has still not been fully achieved. The complexity and difficulty associated with the collective management of rights in Europe has, in a number of instances, exacerbated the fragmentation of the European digital market for online music services. This situation comes in stark contrast to the fast growing demand of consumers for access to digital content and associated innovative services, including across national borders. | (22) Čeprav je splet brezmejen, je spletni trg za glasbene storitve v EU še vedno razdrobljen, enotni trg pa še vedno ni popolnoma vzpostavljen. Zapletenost in zahtevnost, povezani s kolektivnim upravljanjem pravic v Evropi, sta v več primerih povzročili razdrobljenost evropskega digitalnega trga za spletne glasbene storitve. To stanje je v popolnem nasprotju s hitro naraščajočim povpraševanjem potrošnikov po dostopu do digitalne vsebine in povezanih inovativnih storitvah, vključno preko nacionalnih meja. |
| (23) Commission Recommendation 2005/737/EC promoted a new regulatory environment better suited to the management, at Union level, of copyright and related rights for the provision of legitimate online music services. It recognised that in an era of online exploitation of musical works, commercial users need a licensing policy that corresponds to the ubiquity of the online environment and which is multi-territorial. However, the Recommendation, due to its voluntary nature, has not been sufficient to encourage the widespread multi-territorial licensing of online rights in musical works and to address the specific demands of multi-territorial licensing. | (23) V Priporočilu Komisije 2005/737/ES se je spodbujalo novo regulativno okolje, ki bolj ustreza upravljanju avtorske in sorodnih pravic na ravni Unije za zagotavljanje zakonitih spletnih glasbenih storitev. Priznalo se je, da v času spletnega izkoriščanja glasbenih del komercialni uporabniki potrebujejo politiko izdajanja licenc, ki ustreza splošni razširjenosti spletnega okolja in se uporablja za več ozemelj. Ker pa je Priporočilo nezavezujoče, ni zadostovalo za spodbuditev razširjenega izdajanja večozemeljskih licenc za spletne pravice za glasbena dela in za obravnavo posebnih potreb večozemeljskega licenciranja. |
| (24) In the online music sector, where collective management of authors' rights on a territorial basis remains the norm, it is essential to create conditions conducive to the most effective licensing practices by collecting societies, in an increasingly cross-border context. It is therefore appropriate to provide for a set of rules coordinating basic conditions for the provision by collecting societies of multi-territorial collective licensing of authors' online rights in musical works. These provisions should ensure the necessary minimum quality of the cross-border services provided by collecting societies, notably in terms of transparency of repertoire represented and accuracy of financial flows related to the use of the rights. They should also set out a framework for facilitating the voluntary aggregation of music repertoire and thus reducing the number of licences a user needs to operate a multi-territorial service. These provisions should enable a collecting society to request another collecting society to represent its repertoire on a multi-territorial basis where it cannot fulfil the requirements itself. There should be an obligation on the requested society, provided that it aggregates repertoire and offers or grants multi-territorial licences, to accept the mandate of the requesting society. The development of legal online music services across the Union should also contribute to the fight against piracy. | (24) V spletnem glasbenem sektorju, v katerem kolektivno upravljanje pravic avtorjev na ozemeljski ravni ostaja norma, je bistveno, da se v vse bolj čezmejnem okviru ustvarijo pogoji za najučinkovitejše prakse licenciranja kolektivnih organizacij. Zato je ustrezno, da se zagotovi vrsta pravil, ki usklajujejo osnovne pogoje za zagotavljanje izdajanja večozemeljskih licenc za spletne pravice avtorjev za glasbena dela s strani kolektivnih organizacij. Te določbe bi morale zagotoviti potrebno minimalno kakovost čezmejnih storitev, ki jih opravljajo kolektivne organizacije, zlasti kar zadeva preglednost zastopanega repertoarja in natančnost finančnih tokov, povezanih z uporabo pravic. Oblikovati bi morale tudi okvir za lažje prostovoljno združevanje glasbenega repertoarja in s tem zmanjšanje števila licenc, ki ji uporabnik potrebuje za izvajanje večozemeljske storitve. Te določbe bi morale kolektivni organizaciji omogočiti, da drugo kolektivno organizacijo zaprosijo za zastopanje njenega repertoarja na večozemeljski osnovi, če sama ne more izpolniti zahtev. Zaprošena organizacija bi morala imeti obveznost, da sprejme pooblastilo organizacije, ki je zaprosila za sporazum, pod pogojem, da združuje repertoarje in ponuja ali izdaja večozemeljske licence. Razvoj zakonitih spletnih glasbenih storitev v Evropi bi moral prispevati tudi k boju proti piratstvu. |
| (25) The availability of accurate and comprehensive information on the musical works, rightholders and the rights that each collecting society is authorised to represent in a given Member State is of particular importance for an effective and transparent licensing process, for the subsequent monitoring of the use of licensed rights and the related invoicing of service providers as well as for the distribution of amounts due to rightholders. For this reason, collecting societies granting multi-territorial licences for musical works should be able to process such detailed data quickly and accurately. This requires the use of continually updated databases on ownership of rights that are licensed on a multi-territorial basis, containing data that allow for the identification of works, rights, rightholders and Member States which a collecting society is authorised to represent. These databases should also help to match information on works with information on phonograms or any other fixation in which the work has been incorporated. It is also important to ensure that prospective licensees and rightholders have access to the information they need to identify the repertoire that those collecting societies are representing, without prejudice to any measure these societies may be entitled to take to protect the accuracy and integrity of the data, to control its reuse and to protect personal data and commercially sensitive information. | (25) Razpoložljivost točnih in celovitih informacij o glasbenih delih, imetnikih pravic in pravicah, za zastopanje katerih je posamezna kolektivna organizacija pooblaščena v zadevni državi članici, je zlasti pomembna za učinkovit in pregleden postopek licenciranja, nadaljnje spremljanje uporabe licenciranih pravic in s tem povezanega zaračunavanja, ki ga izvajajo ponudniki storitev, ter razporeditev zneskov, do katerih so upravičeni imetniki pravic. Zato bi morale biti kolektivne organizacije, ki izdajajo večozemeljske licence za glasbena dela, sposobne takšne podrobne podatke obdelati hitro in natančno. To zahteva nenehno posodabljanje zbirke podatkov o lastništvu pravic, licenciranih na večozemeljski osnovi, ki vsebuje podatke, ki omogočajo identifikacijo del, pravic, imetnikov pravic in držav članic, za zastopanje katerih je pooblaščena kolektivna organizacija. Te zbirke podatkov bi morale prispevati tudi k povezovanju informacij o delih z informacijami o fonogramih ali morebitnih drugih posnetkih, v katerih je bilo delo uporabljeno. Pomembno je tudi, da se potencialnim imetnikom licenc in pravic zagotovi dostop do informacij, ki jih potrebujejo za identifikacijo repertoarja, ki ga te kolektivne organizacije zastopajo, brez poseganja v morebitne ukrepe, ki bi jih te organizacije lahko sprejele za zaščito verodostojnosti in celovitosti podatkov, nadzor nad njihovo ponovno uporabo ter varstvo osebnih podatkov in poslovno občutljivih informacij. |
| (26) To ensure that the data on the music repertoire they process is as accurate as possible, collecting societies granting multi-territorial licences of musical works should be required to update their databases continuously and without delay. They should establish easily accessible procedures to enable rightholders and other collecting societies whose repertoire they may represent to inform them about any inaccuracy that the collecting societies databases may contain in respect of works they own or control, including rights – in whole or in part – and Member States for which they have mandated the relevant collecting society to act. They should also have the capacity to process electronically the registration of works and authorisations to manage rights. Given the importance of information automation for the fast and effective processing of data, collecting societies should provide for the use of electronic means for the structured communication of that information by rightholders. Collecting societies should, as far as possible, ensure that such electronic means take into account the relevant industry standards or practices developed at international level or at the level of the Union. | (26) Za zagotovitev čim večje točnosti podatkov o glasbenem repertoarju, ki jih obdelujejo, bi bilo treba od kolektivnih organizacij, ki izdajajo večozemeljske licence za glasbena dela, zahtevati, da svoje baze stalno in brez odlašanja posodabljajo. Vzpostaviti bi morale enostavno dostopne postopke, da bi jih lahko imetniki pravic in druge kolektivne organizacije, katerih repertoar lahko zastopajo, obveščali o morebitnih netočnostih, ki bi jih podatkovne zbirke kolektivnih organizacij lahko vsebovale v zvezi z deli v njihovi lasti ali pod njihovim nadzorom, vključno s pravicami – delno ali v celoti – in državami članicami, za katere so pooblastili zadevno kolektivno organizacijo. Prav tako bi morale imeti možnosti, da elektronsko obdelajo registracijo del in pooblastila za upravljanje pravic. Ker je avtomatizacija informacij pomembna za hitro in učinkovito obdelavo podatkov, bi morale kolektivne organizacije omogočiti uporabo elektronskih sredstev za strukturirano sporočanje teh informacij s strani imetnikov pravic. Kolektivne organizacije bi morale v največji možni meri zagotoviti, da takšna elektronska sredstva upoštevajo ustrezne industrijske standarde ali prakse, razvite na mednarodni ravni ali ravni Unije. |
| (27) Digital technology allows the automated monitoring by collecting societies of the use by the licensee of the licensed musical works and facilitates invoicing. Industry standards for music usage, sales reporting and invoicing are instrumental to improve the efficiency in the exchange of data between collecting societies and users. The monitoring of the use of licences should respect fundamental rights, namely the right to respect of private and family life and data protection. To ensure that these efficiency gains result in faster financial processing and ultimately in earlier payments to rightholders, collecting societies should be required to invoice service providers and to distribute amounts due to rightholders without delay. For this requirement to be effective, it is necessary that licensees make every effort to provide collecting societies with accurate and timely reports on the use of the works. Collecting societies should not be required to accept users' reports in proprietary formats when widely used industry standards are available. | (27) Digitalna tehnologija omogoča avtomatizirano spremljanje uporabe licenciranih glasbenih del s strani imetnikov licenc, ki ga izvajajo kolektivne organizacije, in olajšuje izdajanje računov. Industrijski standardi za uporabo na glasbenem področju, poročanje o prodaji in izdajanje računov so bistveni za učinkovitejšo izmenjavo podatkov med kolektivnimi organizacijami in uporabniki. Pri spremljanju uporabe licenc bi bilo treba spoštovati temeljni pravici, in sicer pravico do spoštovanja zasebnega in družinskega življenja ter pravico do varstva osebnih podatkov. Za zagotovitev, da se s to večjo učinkovitostjo dosežeta hitrejše finančno obravnavanje in s tem hitrejša zagotovitev plačil imetnikom pravic, kolektivne organizacije ne bi smele odlašati pri izdajanju računov ponudnikom storitev in razdeljevanju zneskov, do katerih so upravičeni imetniki pravic. Da bi bila ta zahteva učinkovita, si morajo imetniki licenc prizadevati, da kolektivnim organizacijam zagotavljajo točna in pravočasna poročila o uporabi del. Od kolektivnih organizacij se ne bi smelo zahtevati, da sprejemajo poročila uporabnikov v lastniških formatih, kadar so na voljo splošno uporabni industrijski standardi. |
| (28) Access to and handling of large amounts of data, and a high technical capability are necessary to provide high quality management services by collecting societies granting multi-territorial collective licences. Collecting societies should not be prevented from outsourcing services relating to the granting of multi-territorial licences for online rights in musical works, provided that their liability towards rightholders, online services providers or other collecting societies is unaffected and data protection obligations as set out in Article 17 of Directive 95/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 24 October 1995 on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data[21] are respected. Sharing or consolidation of back office capabilities should help the collecting societies to improve management services and rationalise investments in data management tools. | (28) Da lahko kolektivne organizacije, ki izdajajo večozemeljske kolektivne licence, zagotavljajo visokokakovostne storitve upravljanja, so potrebni dostop do velikih količin podatkov in njihova obdelava ter visoka tehnična usposobljenost. Kolektivnim organizacijam se ne bi smelo preprečevati oddajanja storitev, povezanih z izdajanjem večozemeljskih licenc za spletne pravice za glasbena dela, v zunanje izvajanje, če to ne vpliva na njihovo odgovornost do imetnikov pravic, ponudnikov spletnih storitev in drugih kolektivnih organizacij in so upoštevane obveznosti o varstvu podatkov iz člena 17 Direktive 95/46/ES Evropskega parlamenta in Sveta z dne 24. oktobra 1995 o varstvu posameznikov pri obdelavi osebnih podatkov in o prostem pretoku takih podatkov[21]. Souporaba ali združevanje zmogljivosti zalednih družb bi kolektivnim organizacijam moralo pomagati izboljšati storitve upravljanja in racionalizirati naložbe v orodja za upravljanje podatkov. |
| (29) Aggregating of different music repertoires for multi-territorial licensing facilitates the licensing process and, by making all repertoires accessible to the market for multi-territorial licensing, enhances cultural diversity and contributes to reducing the number of transactions an online service provider needs in order to offer that service. That aggregation of repertoires should facilitate the development of new online services, and should also result in a reduction of transaction costs that are passed on to consumers. Therefore, collecting societies that are not willing to or are not able to grant multi-territorial licences directly in their own music repertoire should be encouraged to mandate other collecting societies voluntarily with the task of managing their repertoire under non-discriminatory terms. Where the request to mandate takes place, the requested collecting society should be required to accept, provided that it aggregates repertoire and offers or grants multi-territorial licences. In addition, exclusivity in agreements on multi-territorial licenses would restrict the choices available to users seeking multi-territorial licenses and also restrict the choices available to collecting societies seeking administration services for their repertoire on a multi-territorial basis. Therefore, all representation agreements between collecting societies providing for multi-territorial licensing should be concluded on a non-exclusive basis. | (29) Z združevanjem različnih glasbenih repertoarjev za namene izdajanja večozemeljskih licenc se pospešuje postopek licenciranja, pri čemer se z zagotavljanjem dostopa do vseh repertoarjev trgu za izdajanje večozemeljskih licenc krepi kulturna raznolikost in prispeva k zmanjšanju števila transakcij, ki jih mora izvesti spletni ponudnik storitev, da lahko ponudi navedeno storitev. To združevanje repertoarjev bi moralo pospešiti razvoj novih spletnih storitev in tudi omogočiti zmanjšanje stroškov transakcij, ki se prenesejo na potrošnike. Zato bi bilo treba kolektivne organizacije, ki večozemeljskih licenc za svoj glasbeni repertoar ne želijo ali ne morejo izdajati neposredno, spodbujati, naj za upravljanje svojega repertoarja pod nediskriminacijskimi pogoji prostovoljno pooblastijo druge kolektivne organizacije. Kadar pride do prošnje za pooblastilo, bi morala zaprošena kolektivna organizacija to sprejeti, pod pogojem, da združuje repertoarje in ponuja ali izdaja večozemeljske licence. Poleg tega bi izključnost v sporazumih o večozemeljskih licencah omejevala izbiro uporabnikov, ki želijo pridobiti večozemeljske licence, in tudi izbiro kolektivnih organizacij, ki želijo uporabljati storitve upravljanja svojega repertoarja na več ozemljih. Zato bi bilo treba vse sporazume o zastopanju med kolektivnimi organizacijami za zagotavljanje večozemeljskega licenciranja skleniti na neizključni podlagi. |
| (30) The transparency of the conditions under which collecting societies manage the online rights they have been authorised to represent is of particular importance for rightholders. Collecting societies should therefore provide sufficient information to its rightholders on the main terms of any agreement mandating any other collecting society to represent its online music rights for the purposes of multi-territorial licensing. | (30) Za imetnike pravic je zlasti pomembna preglednost pogojev, pod katerimi kolektivne organizacije upravljajo spletne pravice, za zastopanje katerih so bile pooblaščene. Kolektivne organizacije bi zato morale svojim imetnikom pravic zagotoviti zadostne informacije o glavnih pogojih sporazuma, s katerim katero koli drugo kolektivno organizacijo pooblaščajo za zastopanje njihovih spletnih glasbenih pravic za namene izdajanja večozemeljskih licenc. |
| (31) It is also important to require any collecting societies that offer or grant multi-territorial licences to agree to represent the repertoire of any collecting societies that decide not to do so directly. To ensure that this requirement is not disproportionate and does not go beyond what is necessary, the requested collecting society should only be required to accept the representation if the request is limited to the online right or categories of online rights which it represents. Moreover, this requirement should apply only to collecting societies which aggregate repertoire and should not extend to collecting societies which provide multi-territorial licences for their own repertoire only. Nor should it apply to collecting societies which merely aggregate rights in the same works for the purpose of being able to license jointly both reproduction and communication to the public rights in such works. Any agreement whereby a collecting society mandates another collecting society or societies to grant multi-territorial licences in its own music repertoire for online use should not prevent that collecting society from continuing to grant licences limited to the territory of the Member State where that collecting society is established, in its own repertoire and in any other repertoire it may be authorised to represent in that Member State. | (31) Prav tako je pomembno, da se od vseh drugih kolektivnih organizacij, ki ponujajo ali izdajajo večozemeljske licence, zahteva, da sprejmejo zastopanje repertoarja katere koli druge kolektivne organizacije, ki sama neposredno tega ne izvaja. Za zagotovitev, da ta zahteva ni nesorazmerna in da ne presega tistega, kar je potrebno, bi morala zahteva, da zaprošena kolektivna organizacija sprejme zastopanje, veljati le, če je prošnja omejena na spletno pravico ali kategorije spletnih pravic, ki jih zastopa. Poleg tega bi morala ta zahteva veljati le za kolektivne organizacije, ki združujejo repertoar, in ne bi smela biti razširjena na kolektivne organizacije, ki večozemeljske licence zagotavljajo le za svoj repertoar. Prav tako ne bi smela veljati za kolektivne organizacije, ki le združujejo pravice za ista dela, da lahko v primeru takšnih del licence izdajajo skupno za pravico do razmnoževanja in pravico do javne priobčitve del. Noben sporazum, s katerim kolektivna organizacija drugo kolektivno organizacijo ali organizacije pooblašča za izdajanje večozemeljskih licenc za lasten glasbeni repertoar za spletno uporabo, tej kolektivni organizaciji ne bi smel preprečevati, da še naprej izdaja licence, ki so omejene na ozemlje države članice, v kateri ima navedena kolektivna organizacija sedež, za lasten repertoar in kateri koli drug repertoar, za zastopanje katerega je pooblaščena v navedeni državi članici. |
| (32) The objectives and the effectiveness of the rules on multi-territorial licensing by collecting societies would be largely jeopardised if rightholders were not able to exercise their rights by granting multi-territorial licences when the collecting society to which they have granted their rights does not grant or offer multi-territorial licences and does not want to mandate another collecting society to do so. For this reason, it is important in such circumstances, to enable rightholders to exercise the right to grant the multi-territorial licences required by online service providers themselves or through another party or parties, without having to withdraw their rights from the collecting society. | (32) Cilji in učinkovitost pravil o izdajanju večozemeljskih licenc s strani kolektivnih organizacij bi bili zelo ogroženi, če imetniki pravic ne bi mogli uveljavljati svojih pravic prek izdajanja večozemeljskih licenc, kadar kolektivna organizacija, ki so jo pooblastili za svoje pravice, ne izdaja ali ponuja večozemeljskih licenc ali ne želi za to pooblastiti druge kolektivne organizacije. Zato je v takšnih okoliščinah pomembno, da lahko imetniki pravic uveljavljajo pravico, da sami ali prek druge stranke ali strank izdajajo večozemeljske licence, za katere zaprošajo ponudniki spletnih storitev, ne da bi morali svoje pravice umakniti iz kolektivne organizacije. |
| (33) In the interest of the online market, key obligations relating to access to information, data handling, invoicing and payment capabilities must also apply to any entity owned, in whole or in part, by a collecting society and which offers or grants multi-territorial licences in online rights in musical works. | (33) Zaradi interesov spletnega trga morajo ključne zahteve v zvezi z dostopom do informacij, obdelavo podatkov, izdajanjem računov in plačilno sposobnostjo veljati tudi za vsak subjekt, ki je v celoti ali delno v lasti kolektivne organizacije in ki ponuja ali izdaja večozemeljske licence za spletne pravice za glasbena dela. |
| (34) In the digital environment, collecting societies are regularly required to license their repertoire for totally new forms of exploitation and business models. In such cases and in order to foster an environment conducive to the development of such licences, and to do so as swiftly as possible, collecting societies should have the flexibility required to provide individualised and innovative licences, without the risk of their being used as a precedent for determining the terms of other different types of licences. | (34) V digitalnem okolju morajo kolektivne organizacije običajno svoj repertoar licencirati za popolnoma nove oblike izkoriščanja in poslovne modele. V takšnih primerih in za čim hitrejšo zagotovitev okolja, ki omogoča razvoj takšnih licenc, bi bila potrebna prilagodljivost kolektivnih organizacij, da lahko zagotavljajo individualizirane in inovativne licence brez tveganja, da bi te pomenile precedens za določanje pogojev za druge vrste licenc. |
| (35) Broadcasting organisations generally rely on a licence from a local collecting society, for their own broadcasts of television and radio programmes which include musical works. This licence is often limited to broadcasting activities. A licence for online rights in musical works would be required in order to allow such television or radio broadcasts to be also available online. To facilitate the licensing of online music rights for the purposes of simultaneous and delayed transmission online of television and radio broadcasts, it is necessary to provide for a derogation from the rules that would otherwise apply to the multi-territorial licensing of musical works for online uses. Such derogation should be limited to what is necessary to allow access to television or radio programmes online and to material having a clear and subordinate relationship to the original broadcast produced for purposes such as supplementing, previewing or reviewing that television or radio programme. That derogation should not operate so as to distort competition with other services which give consumers access to individual musical or audiovisual works online, or lead to restrictive practices, such as market or customer sharing, in breach of Articles 101 or 102 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union. | (35) RTV organizacije licenco za lastna oddajanja televizijskih in radijskih programov, ki vključujejo glasbena dela, običajno pridobijo pri lokalni kolektivni organizaciji. Takšna licenca je pogosto omejena na dejavnosti razširjanja televizijskih in radijskih programov. Licenca za spletne pravice za glasbena dela bi bila potrebna za omogočanje dostopa do takšnih televizijskih in radijskih programov prek spleta. Za lažje izdajanje licenc za spletne glasbene pravice za namene istočasnega prenosa in prenosa z zamikom televizijskih in radijskih programov na spletu je treba določiti odstopanje od pravil, ki bi sicer veljala za izdajanje večozemeljskih licenc za glasbena dela za spletno uporabo. Takšno odstopanje bi bilo treba omejiti na tisto, kar je potrebno, da se omogoči dostop do televizijskih ali radijskih programov prek spleta, in na material, ki je jasno in podrejeno povezan s prvotnim oddajanjem, produciranim za namene, kot je dopolnjevanje, predogled ali pregled navedenega televizijskega ali radijskega programa. Navedeno odstopanje bi smelo povzročiti izkrivljanja konkurence z drugimi storitvami, ki potrošnikom zagotavljajo dostop do posameznih glasbenih ali avdiovizualnih del prek spleta, ali omejevalnih ravnanj, kot je razdelitev trga ali potrošnikov, kar je v nasprotju s členom 101 ali 102 Pogodbe o delovanju Evropske unije. |
| (36) It is necessary to ensure the effective enforcement of the provisions of the national law adopted pursuant to this Directive. Collecting societies should offer their members specific procedures for the handling of complaints and the resolution of disputes. These procedures should also be made available to other rightholders represented by the collecting society. It is also appropriate to ensure that Member States have independent, impartial and effective dispute resolution bodies capable of settling commercial disputes between collecting societies and users on existing or proposed licensing conditions as well as on situations in which the granting of a licence is refused. Furthermore, the effectiveness of the rules on the multi-territorial licensing of online rights in musical works could be undermined if disputes between collecting societies and their counterparts were not solved quickly and efficiently by independent and impartial bodies. As a result, it is appropriate to provide, without prejudice to the right of access to a tribunal, for an easily accessible, efficient and impartial out-of-court procedure for resolving conflicts between collecting societies, on the one hand, and online music service providers, rightholders or other collecting societies, on the other. | (36) Zagotoviti je treba učinkovito izvrševanje določb nacionalne zakonodaje, sprejetih na podlagi te direktive. Kolektivne organizacije bi morale svojim članom zagotoviti posebne postopke za obravnavanje pritožb in reševanje sporov. Ti postopki bi morali biti na voljo tudi drugim imetnikom pravic, ki jih kolektivna organizacija zastopa. Ustrezno je tudi zagotoviti, da imajo države članice neodvisne, nepristranske in učinkovite organe za reševanje sporov, ki so sposobni reševati gospodarske spore med kolektivnimi organizacijami in uporabniki glede obstoječih ali predlaganih pogojev licenciranja ter tudi glede okoliščin, v katerih se lahko zavrne izdaja licence. Poleg tega bi lahko bila učinkovitost pravil o izdajanju večozemeljskih licenc za spletne pravice za glasbena dela manjša, če sporov med kolektivnimi organizacijami in njihovimi nasprotnimi strankami neodvisni in nepristranski organi ne bi reševali hitro in učinkovito. Zato je ustrezno, da se brez poseganja v pravico do sprožitve postopka pred sodiščem zagotovi enostavno dostopen, učinkovit in nepristranski izvensodni postopek za reševanje sporov med kolektivnimi organizacijami na eni strani in ponudniki spletnih glasbenih storitev, imetniki pravic ali drugimi kolektivnimi organizacijami na drugi strani. |
| (37) Moreover, Member States should establish appropriate procedures by means of which it will be possible to make complaints against collecting societies who do not comply with the law and to ensure that, where appropriate, effective, proportionate and dissuasive sanctions are imposed. Member States should determine which authorities should be responsible for administering the complaints procedures and sanctions. To ensure that the requirements for multi-territorial licensing are complied with, specific provisions on the monitoring of their implementation should be laid down. The competent authorities of the Member States and the European Commission should cooperate with each other to this end. | (37) Poleg tega bi morale države članice vzpostaviti ustrezne postopke, s katerimi bo mogoče vložiti pritožbe zoper kolektivne organizacije, ki ne spoštujejo zakonodaje, ter po potrebi zagotoviti sprejetje učinkovitih, sorazmernih in odvračilnih sankcij. Države članice bi morale določiti organe, pristojne za vodenje pritožbenih postopkov in nalaganje sankcij. Za zagotovitev izpolnjevanja zahtev za izdajanje večozemeljskih licenc bi bilo treba sprejeti posebne določbe o spremljanju njihovega izvajanja. Zato bi morali pristojni organi držav članic in Evropska komisija med seboj sodelovati. |
| (38) It is important for collecting societies to respect the rights to private life and personal data protection of any rightholder, member, user and other individual whose personal data they process. Directive 95/46/EC governs the processing of personal data carried out in the Member States in the context of this Directive and under the supervision of the Member States competent authorities, in particular the public independent authorities designated by the Member States. Rightholders should be given appropriate information about the processing of their data, the recipients of that data, time limits for retention of their data in their database, and how they can exercise their rights to access, correct or delete their personal data concerning them in accordance with Articles 10 and 11 of Directive 95/46/EC. In particular, unique identifiers which allow for the indirect identification of a person should be treated as personal data within the meaning of point (a) of Article 2 of that Directive. | (38) Pomembno je, da kolektivne organizacije spoštujejo pravico do zasebnega in družinskega življenja ter pravico do varstva osebnih podatkov vsakega imetnika pravic, člana, uporabnika in drugega posameznika, katerega osebne podatke obdelujejo. Direktiva 95/46/ES ureja obdelavo osebnih podatkov, ki se izvaja v državah članicah v okviru te direktive in pod nadzorom pristojnih organov držav članic, zlasti javnih neodvisnih organov, ki jih imenujejo države članice. Imetnikom pravic bi bilo treba zagotoviti ustrezne informacije o obdelavi njihovih podatkov, prejemnikih teh podatkov, časovnih omejitvah glede hrambe njihovih podatkov v zbirki podatkov ter načinu uveljavljanja njihovih pravic do dostopa, popravka ali izbrisa podatkov v skladu s členoma 10 in 11 Direktive 95/46/ES. Zlasti bi bilo treba kot osebni podatek v smislu točke (a) člena 2 navedene direktive obravnavati edinstvene identifikatorje, s katerimi je osebo mogoče posredno identificirati. |
| (39) In the light of Article 12(b) of Directive 95/46/EC which grants to every data subject the right to obtain rectification, erasure or blocking of inaccurate or incomplete data, this Directive also ensures that inaccurate information regarding rightholders or other collecting societies in the case of multi-territorial licenses is to be corrected without undue delay. | (39) Ob upoštevanju člena 12(b) Direktive 95/46/ES, ki vsakemu posamezniku, na katerega se osebni podatki nanašajo, zagotavlja pravico do popravkov, izbrisa ali blokiranja netočnih ali nepopolnih podatkov, ta direktiva zagotavlja tudi, da se nemudoma popravijo netočne informacije o imetnikih pravic ali drugih kolektivnih organizacijah v primeru večozemeljskih licenc. |
| (40) Provisions on enforcement measures should be without prejudice to the competencies of independent public national authorities established by the Member States pursuant to Article 28 of Directive 95/46/EC to monitor the respect of national provisions adopted in implementation of that Directive. | (40) Določbe o izvršilnih ukrepih ne bi smele posegati v pristojnosti neodvisnih javnih nacionalnih organov, ki jih ustanovijo države članice v skladu s členom 28 Direktive 95/46/ES za spremljanje spoštovanja nacionalnih predpisov, sprejetih za izvajanje navedene direktive. |
| (41) This Directive respects the fundamental rights and observes the principles enshrined in the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union. The requirement in the Directive that dispute resolution mechanisms should be made available to members, rightholders, users and collecting societies should not prevent the parties from exercising their right of access to a tribunal as guaranteed in the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union. | (41) Ta direktiva spoštuje temeljne pravice in upošteva načela iz Listine Evropske unije o temeljnih pravicah. Zahteva iz Direktive, da mora biti članom, imetnikom pravic, uporabnikom in kolektivnim organizacijam na voljo mehanizem za reševanje sporov, strankam ne bi smela odvzeti pravice do sprožitve postopka pred sodiščem, ki jo zagotavlja Listina Evropske unije o temeljnih pravicah. |
| (42) Since the objective of this Directive, to improve the ability of their members to exercise control over the activities of collecting societies, to guarantee sufficient transparency by collecting societies and to improve the multi-territorial licensing of authors' rights for online use of musical works cannot be sufficiently achieved by Member States and can therefore, by reason of its scale and effects, be better achieved at Union level, the Union may adopt measures in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity as set out in Article 5 of the Treaty on European Union. In accordance with the principle of proportionality, as set out in that same Article, this Directive does not go beyond what is necessary in order to achieve that objective. | (42) Ker ciljev te direktive, in sicer izboljšanja možnosti članov kolektivnih organizacij za izvajanje nadzora nad dejavnostmi teh organizacij, zagotovitve zadostne preglednosti s strani kolektivnih organizacij in izboljšanja izdajanja večozemeljskih licenc za pravice avtorjev za spletno uporabo glasbenih del, države članice ne morejo zadovoljivo doseči ter jih je zaradi obsega in učinkov lažje doseči na ravni Unije, lahko Unija sprejme ukrepe v skladu z načelom subsidiarnosti iz člena 5 Pogodbe o Evropski uniji. V skladu z načelom sorazmernosti iz istega člena ta direktiva ne presega tistega, kar je potrebno za doseganje navedenih ciljev. |
| (43) The provisions of this Directive are without prejudice to the application of competition law rules, and any other relevant law in other areas including confidentiality, trade secrets, privacy, access to documents, the law of contract and private international law relating to the conflict of laws and the jurisdiction of courts. | (43) Določbe te direktive ne vplivajo na uporabo pravil konkurenčnega prava ali katerega koli drugega ustreznega prava na drugih področjih, vključno z zaupnostjo, poslovnimi skrivnostmi, zasebnostjo, dostopom do dokumentov, pogodbenim pravom ter mednarodnim zasebnim pravom v zvezi s kolizijo zakonov in spori o pristojnosti sodišč. |
| (44) In accordance with the Joint Political Declaration of Member States and the Commission on explanatory documents of 28 September 2011, Member States have undertaken to accompany, in justified cases, the notification of their transposition measures with one or more documents explaining the relationship between the components of a directive and the corresponding parts of national transposition instruments. With regard to this Directive, the legislator considers the transmission of such documents to be justified. | (44) Države članice so se v skladu s skupno politično deklaracijo držav članic in Komisije o obrazložitvenih dokumentih z dne 28. septembra 2011 zavzele, da bodo v utemeljenih primerih k uradnemu obvestilu o svojih ukrepih za prenos priložile enega ali več dokumentov, ki bodo pojasnjevali razmerje med sestavnimi deli direktive in ustreznimi deli nacionalnih instrumentov za prenos. V zvezi s to direktivo zakonodajalec meni, da je posredovanje takih dokumentov upravičeno – |

| EXPLANATORY DOCUMENTS | OBRAZLOŽITVENI DOKUMENTI |
| In accordance with the Joint Political Declaration of Member States and the Commission on explanatory documents of 28 September 2011, Member States have undertaken to accompany, in justified cases, the notification of their transposition measures with one or more documents explaining the relationship between the components of a directive and the corresponding parts of national transposition instruments. | Države članice so se v skladu s skupno politično deklaracijo držav članic in Komisije o obrazložitvenih dokumentih z dne 28. septembra 2011 zavezale, da bodo v utemeljenih primerih k obvestilu o svojih ukrepih za prenos priložile enega ali več dokumentov, ki bodo pojasnjevali razmerje med sestavnimi deli direktive in ustreznimi deli nacionalnih instrumentov za prenos. |
| With regard to this Directive, the Commission considers the transmission of such documents to be justified for the following reasons: | Komisija meni, da je predložitev takih dokumentov v primeru te direktive upravičena zaradi naslednjih razlogov: |
| Complexity of the Directive and of the sector concerned | Zapletenost Direktive in zadevnega sektorja |
| Collective management of copyright and related rights is a complex issue. It affects the management of rights for online use but also for more traditional offline uses. It concerns the rights of authors, but also of performers, publishers, producers and broadcasters. Different types of collecting societies are involved, from the large collecting societies managing authors' rights to the smaller ones collecting the remuneration linked to the reprography or to the resale right. Different types of stakeholders are involved: not only the rightholders but also the commercial users who obtain the licences from collecting societies. | Kolektivno upravljanje avtorskih in sorodnih pravic je zapleteno vprašanje. Vpliva na upravljanje pravic za spletno uporabo in tudi za bolj tradicionalne uporabe izven spleta. Zadeva pravice avtorjev, izvajalcev, založnikov, producentov in izdajateljev televizijskega programa. Zajete so različne vrste kolektivnih organizacij, od velikih, ki upravljajo pravice avtorjev, do manjših, ki pobirajo nadomestila, povezana z reprografijo ali sledno pravico. Vključene so različne vrste zainteresiranih strani: ne le imetniki pravic, ampak tudi komercialni uporabniki, ki prejmejo licence od kolektivnih organizacij. |
| While there is legislation at European level on copyright and related rights, it is the first time that collective management is directly addressed by EU legislation. The comprehensive legal framework proposed by the Directive will result in substantial changes for most of the national laws as regards the regulation of collecting societies. | Medtem ko zakonodaja o avtorskih in sorodnih pravicah na evropski ravni že obstaja, se kolektivno upravljanje v zakonodaji EU neposredno obravnava prvič. Celovit zakonodajni okvir, predlagan s to direktivo, bo povzročil znatne spremembe večine nacionalnih zakonodaj, kar zadeva ureditev kolektivnih organizacij. |
| Moreover the Title of the directive concerning the multi-territorial licensing of authors' rights in musical works for online uses is an absolute novelty from a regulatory perspective. No Member State has legislation on this type of licences in place. | Poleg tega je naslov Direktive o izdajanju večozemeljskih licenc za pravice avtorjev za glasbena dela za spletno uporabo popolna novost z regulativnega vidika. Nobena država članica nima zakonodaje o tej vrsti licenc. |
| Furthermore, the rules of the Directive will also affect national law regarding dispute resolution. | Poleg tega bodo pravila iz Direktive vplivala tudi na nacionalne zakonodaje o reševanju sporov. |
| The setting up of this new legal framework will require a structured approach during the transposition supervision. Given the lack of national legislative or regulatory experience for certain parts of the Directive, it is of high importance that the Commission receives transposition documents clarifying how the Member States have given effect to the new provisions. In the absence of well-structured explanatory documents, the capacity for the Commission to oversee the transposition would be significantly undermined. | Vzpostavitev tega novega zakonodajnega okvira bo zahtevala strukturiran pristop pri nadzoru prenosa. Zaradi nezadostnih regulativnih izkušenj v nacionalni zakonodaji s področja nekaterih delov direktive je zelo pomembno, da Komisija prejme dokumente o prenosu, v katerih države članice pojasnijo, kako izvajajo nove določbe. Ker dobro strukturiranih obrazložitvenih dokumentov ni na voljo, bo nadzor prenosa Komisije zelo omejen. |
| Consistency and interrelation with other initiatives | Skladnost in povezanost z drugimi pobudami |
| The directive remains a "minimum harmonisation" legal instrument and Member States may impose stricter and/or more detailed requirements on collecting societies than those foreseen in the Directive. It is important that the Commission be in a position to compare the resulting situations in the various Member States and thus properly carry out its task of overseeing the application of Union law. Moreover, a review clause is included in the directive and, in order to be able to collect all relevant information on the functioning of those rules, the Commission will need to be able to monitor the implementation of the directive from the outset. | Direktiva ostaja zakonodajni instrument „minimalne uskladitve“ in države članice lahko določijo strožje in/ali bolj podrobne zahteve glede kolektivnih organizacij od zahtev, predvidenih v Direktivi. Pomembno je, da Komisija lahko primerja posledične razmere v različnih državah članicah in tako ustrezno opravlja svojo nalogo nadzora uporabe prava Unije. Poleg tega je v Direktivo vključena klavzula o pregledu, Komisija pa bo pri zbiranju vseh relevantnih informacij o delovanju navedenih pravil morala spremljati izvajanje Direktive od samega začetka. |
| Collecting societies must comply with the national requirements pursuant to the Services Directive (2006/123/EC). They should be free to provide their services across borders to represent rightholders resident or established in other Member States or grant licences to users resident or established in other Member States. | Kolektivne organizacije morajo izpolnjevati nacionalne zahteve v skladu z Direktivo o storitvah (2006/123/ES). Imeti bi morale možnost zagotavljanja svojih storitev čezmejno, pri čemer bi zastopale imetnike pravic s stalnim prebivališčem ali sedežem v drugih državah članicah ali izdajale licence uporabnikom s stalnim prebivališčem ali sedežem v drugih državah članicah. |
| They must also respect the competition rules of the Treaty. | Spoštovati morajo tudi pravila o konkurenci iz Pogodbe. |
| Therefore, in order to ensure that national rules transposing the proposed directive are consistent with the Services Directive and the competition rules, it is particularly important that the Commission can keep an overview and undertake an appropriate review of the national transposition, on the basis of the necessary explanatory documents. | Za zagotovitev, da so nacionalna pravila o prenosu predlagane direktive v skladu z Direktivo o storitvah in pravili o konkurenci, je zlasti pomembno, da Komisija lahko nadzoruje in izvede ustrezen pregled nacionalnega prenosa na podlagi potrebnih obrazložitvenih dokumentov. |
| Administrative burden | Upravno breme |
| The administrative burden of requesting explanatory documents from Member States regarding the Directive is not disproportionate considering the objectives of the Directive and the novelty of its subject matter. It is furthermore necessary for the Commission to be in a position to carry out its task of overseeing the application of Union law. | Upravno breme zahteve za predložitev obrazložitvenih dokumentov držav članic glede Direktive ni nesorazmerno glede na cilje Direktive in novosti zadeve. Poleg tega je potrebno, da Komisija lahko izvaja svojo nalogo nadzora uporabe prava Unije. |
| On the basis of the above, the Commission believes that the requirement to provide explanatory documents in the case of the proposed Directive is proportionate and does not go beyond what is necessary to achieve the objective to carry out efficiently the task of overseeing accurate transposition. | Komisija na podlagi navedenega meni, da je zahteva za predložitev obrazložitvenih dokumentov v primeru predlagane Direktive sorazmerna in ne presega tistega, kar je potrebno za dosego cilja, tj. učinkovitega izvajanja naloge nadzora ustreznega prenosa. |
