For the third time in as many years the European Commission has launched a public consultation on copyright in the European internal market. Despite the unambiguous signal sent by civil society and Members of the European Parliament through the rejection of the ACTA treaty in 2012, the Commission continues to fail to place the fundamental cultural right of individuals at the heart of copyright reform. La Quadrature du Net calls on all citizens and organisations to submit a response to this public consultation in order to scrutinise the current approach and to push proposals that are in favour of a positive reform of copyright adapted to the digital environment.

Divorced from their citizen's expectations, the main objective of the European Commission in this consultation remains “whether further measures […] need to be taken at EU level […] to increase the cross-border availability of content services in the Single Market, while ensuring an adequate level of protection for right holders”. Furthermore, the Commission places this consultation within the same process as Licences for Europe which was met with failure last November. This public consultation continues to propose simple contractual solutions to the challenges presented by the digital environment whereas a revision of the basic principles of copyright law enshrined in the 2001/29 Directive is today more than ever in order.

Response to the European Commission's Public Consultation on Copyright Reform

The public consultation is closed
Non-anonymous contributions are here.
La Quadrature's answer is here.


Information on the Public Consultation[modifier]

In the European Union copyright is regulated by a 2001 Directive that each EU member state is committed to transpose into their national legal framework.

For the third time in as many years the European Commission has launched a public consultation on copyright in the European internal market. Despite the unambiguous signal sent by civil society and Members of the European Parliament through the rejection of the ACTA treaty in 2012, the Commission continues to fail to place the fundamental cultural right of individuals at the heart of copyright reform. La Quadrature du Net calls on all citizens and organisations to submit a response to this public consultation in order to push proposals that are in favour of a positive reform of copyright which is adapted to the digital environment.

Divorced from their citizens' expectations, the main objective of the European Commission in this consultation remains “whether further measures […] need to be taken at EU level […] to increase the cross-border availability of content services in the Single Market, while ensuring an adequate level of protection for right holders”. Furthermore, the Commission places this consultation within the same process as Licences for Europe which was met with failure last November. This public consultation again proposes simple contractual remedies to the challenges presented by the digital environment. Instead a revision of the basic principles of copyright law enshrined in the 2001/29 Directive is today more than ever in order.

The Questionnaire[modifier]

The European Commission has dedicated a website to this public consultation on which you will find a lot of practical information and the consultation questionnaire itself. The questionnaire is 36 pages long and includes 80 questions ... but there is need to be intimidated or put off by its length: There is no requirement to reply to all questions. Reply freely according to your own experiences and preoccupations.

How to Submit Your Answer?[modifier]

The European Commission committed itself to taking all contributions into account. It is essential that the maximum number of citizens respond to encourage the Commission to adopt a positive copyright reform which is adapted to contemporary cultural practices.

The public consultation officially ends on Wednesday, the 5th of March 2014 (extended), but a politely phrased email with your response attached will probably be accepted even a few days late.

To submit a response to the consultation on the Commissions' report on copyright:

(Add La Quadrature in blind copy (BBC) (contact@laquadrature.net) so that we have an idea of the number of submissions! Note that all submissions will, after the deadline for submissions, be published online as is clearly stated on the Commission's website)

  • You can reply to the consultation in any language of the EU.
  • Your response can be as long or short as you want.
  • You do not need to reply to all questions. Choose the ones that most concern you.
  • Once you completed the questionnaire, copy-paste your answers or attach it to an email and send it off :)
