"The European Union has an exceptionally rich cultural heritage. Much of this heritage, however, lies unused in the archives and libraries of the Member States and is inaccessible to the people of Europe. In order to maintain the diversity of European culture, it is therefore essential to make these works available across borders. Orphan works are works whose rights holder or rights holders cannot be identified or found. Making a work available to the public requires – in accordance with copyright principles – an authorisation from the rights holder. At the same time, European legislation provides for certain exceptions that allow scanning for preservation purposes, but they do not allow libraries to make the digitised works available online on the Internet, even for non-commercial purposes. However, we live in a digital era. The rational dissemination of information online has enormous advantages for the internal market. The digitisation of cultural material should also be supported at a European level. The European Parliament has already expressed support in the past for the idea of finding a legislative solution to the problematic issue of orphan works. In future, new legislation will make it possible to have Europe-wide online access to such orphan works."@en1
