Synopsis reports
The 'publishers' section of the consultation gathered views in particular on the impact that granting an EU neighbouring (or 'related' right) to publishers could have on different parties and as to whether the need (or not) for intervention was different in the press sector as compared to other publishing sectors.
The 'panorama exception' section of the consultation collected feedback for the Commission's analysis of the current legislative framework applicable to this exception and gathered views as to whether the current rules give rise to specific problems in the context of the Digital Single Market.
The Commission is publishing two synopsis reports (please find below), one dedicated to the analysis of the replies to the 'publishers' section and one dedicated to the analysis of the replies to the 'panorama exception' section.
