EC adopts digital agenda recommending solution for orphan and out of print works
Among the measures to be taken to improve the completion of the digital single market, Vice-President Kroes announced that the EC should create a legal framework to facilitate the digitisation and dissemination of cultural works in Europe by proposing a Directive on orphan works by 2010, to conduct a dialogue with stakeholders with a view to further measures on out-of print works, complemented by rights information databases.
