"A major benefit of this agreement is that it provides legal certainty for public institutions, who will use these works more confidently as a result. I welcome the fact that the report also addresses the matter of rights holders being able to request that their works not be considered ‘orphan works’ and, at the same time, provides appropriate protection for public institutions. I believe that the latter refrain from using such works for fear that without the consent of the right holder, they could be fined millions of euro. It is not unusual for such works to constitute 70% of the collections of some institutions. Additionally, I would like to point out that I personally did not consider the European Commission’s legal policy starting point to be constructive; I feel that it is much more a partially negative response to the book digitisation project launched by Google. As such, the model to be introduced under the directive could certainly be able to effectively compete with this US company in the short and medium term, but in the long term, it would once again fall by the wayside due to the failure to establish a legislative environment enabling creative use in a digital environment. I commend the rapporteur for recognising this possibility; she guided the original proposal in the right direction, emphasising that we should move towards new areas in legislation as well. As Ms Geringer de Oedenberg mentioned, the new European model must facilitate the creation of a simplified procedural system. I fully agree with her on this."@en1
