"Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, I would like first of all to congratulate Ms Geringer de Oedenberg and my fellow Members who, through their excellent work, have helped to bring to life one of the key actions of the Digital Agenda for Europe. The directive we are shortly to approve will help achieve two fundamental goals in the development of European copyright. First of all, it will enable the dissemination and enjoyment of works that otherwise would have risked disappearance from our cultural heritage. This initiative therefore fulfils one of the undisputed cardinal rules of copyright, namely, the protection and promotion of culture and intellectual creations. Secondly, this directive will make it possible to modernise and improve Member States’ legal frameworks by bringing existing legislation into line with technical developments and the need for greater flexibility. This will help boost the economic benefits of copyright by ensuring fair remuneration for work and identifying any rights holders under an absolutely solid regulatory framework. Turning to the use of orphan works for commercial purposes, I support the approach taken by this House, which allows commercial use solely in order to pay for the costs associated with the public service carried out by the various relevant institutions. Indeed, the directive does not address issues relating to profit-seeking utilisation of orphan works, but rather legitimate and cross-border access to such works, with the ultimate goal of enhancing the diversity and depth of Europe’s cultural heritage."@en1
