What does the Bill on Amendments to the Copyright and Related Rights Act provide for?
Amendments to the Copyright and Related Rights Act have been addressed primarily with the aim of aligning the provisions of this law with EU law in the field of the collective exercise of copyright and related rights, in particular Directive 2014/26 / EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 February 2014 on the collective exercise of copyright and related rights, as well as the granting of authorizations for territories of several countries for the rights to use music online in the internal market.
The main effect of the adoption of this Bill would be to improve the system of collective exercise of copyright and related rights in Montenegro.
The law provides for the improvement of the process of making common tariff agreements, ie. agreements on fees for the use of copyrighted works and related rights between organizations for the collective exercise of rights and user associations, with the introduction of an obligation to approve such agreements by the competent authority, as well as increased transparency when concluding them.
