A well-balanced report, the rights of the authors preserved

It is necessary to underline the essential transformations brought by the MEPs of the JURY comitee to the inital project proposed by Mrs Reda in january.

It seems essential to remind once again that artists don't make their living with nothing. The authors rights are their remuneration.
