<p style="text-align: right;"><em><em>4:th
December 2012, Brussels</em><br>
The Honorable José Manuel Barroso<br>
President of the European Commission<br>
1049 Brussels, Belgium</em></p>
<p><em><br>
Dear President Barroso,</em></p>
<p><em>In light of the need to complete Europe’s
digital single market and as we continue to
wait for proposals to be made by the European
Commission, we would like to call to your
attention the urgent need for copyright reform
in the European Union.</em></p>
<p><em>People all over the EU are increasingly
concerned that the copyright system is no
longer for them, and that many aspects of
copyright law as it is currently applied,
managed and interpreted by courts in the
member states is not satisfactory or
relevant.i This concern is also shared by many
smaller and larger businesses that sense the
loss of Europe’s competitiveness as a result.
In fact, the European Commission’s own
services have concluded that only those
stakeholders with a vested interest in the
current–and outdated–copyright mechanism are
happy with the way it emphasizes the interests
of certain industries over those of everyone
else. ii</em></p>
<p><em>The European Parliament has called for more
harmonization of copyright on numerous
occasions.iii, iv However, despite that and
the Court of Justice of the European Union
having dealt with several big copyright cases
in the last years, harmonization seems far
from being a reality.v Each ruling by the
Court creates more uncertainty for
stakeholders in the member states,
particularly those operating in several member
states.</em></p>
<p><em>Meanwhile the opportunities that digital
technologies offer, for example to bring
creative content and audiences together in an
easier and less expensive way, are lost.
Citizens travelling between member states find
themselves disconnected from services due to
the fragmented and complex licensing schemes.
It is therefore difficult for European
citizens to anticipate their rights and
obligations while moving freely within the EU.
Cross-border availability of content is rare,
and those actors that can easily facilitate
cross-border availability also cite licensing
difficulties and the current copyright
framework as barriers to access and
innovation.vi</em></p>
<p><em>Several other important stakeholders, such
as librariesvii,viii and organizations dealing
with access to content for disabled persons,
are facing problems servicing an increasingly
mobile European population with digitalized
content or content adjusted for special
needs.ix People in Europe are suffering
unnecessarily, not only economically, but also
socially and culturally. While Europe has a
wealth of cultural diversity to offer, the
market is dominated by the United States.</em></p>
<p><em>A revision of the directive on the
harmonization of certain aspects of copyright
in the information society, 2001/29/EC, is
vital for the future of the European Union’s
economic, cultural and social developments.x A
revision of the directive on enforcement of
intellectual property rights, 2004/48/EC, is
also needed, to ensure that a more appropriate
balance is struck between the different
interests in the European societies.</em></p>
<p><em>We urge you to take these considerations
into account when you are discussing copyright
with the Collegium of Commissioners on
December 5th, and that you will show
leadership and call for an urgent revision of
the 2001 and 2004 directives.</em></p>
<p><em>Yours sincerely,</em></p>
<p>Amelia Andersdotter, Malika Benarab-Attou,<br>
Lidia Joanna Geringer de Oedenberg, Jiří
Maštálka,<br>
Marietje Schaake, Paweł Zalewski</p>
<p>Members of the European Parliament</p>
