Eruopean Cross-border rights clearance 2
Research question
 Will the work of cultural heritage institutions
become easier by the introduction of the MoU,
the Orphan Works Directive and the Directive
on collective management and multi-territorial
licensing of online musical works?
 Are the cross-border provisions of the three
instruments compatible with each other?

European Cross-border rights clearances 6
Orphan Works Directive
Article 4
Mutual recognition of orphan work status
A work or phonogram which is considered an orphan work
according to Article 2 in a Member State shall be considered an
orphan work in all Member States. That work or phonogram
may be used and accessed in accordance with this Directive in
all Member States. This also applies to works and phonograms
referred to in Article 2(2) in so far as the rights of the non-
identified or non-located rightholders are concerned.

Editor's Notes

  1. MoU: addressed to Member States and stakeholders In France, the Act essentially gives commercial publishers the right to publish out of commerce books libraries only have the right to make available after a period of 10 years of non-exploitation by any commercial publisher. Libraries are not the main beneficiaries of this instrument. Same remark with regards to Proposal for a Directive on collective rights management and multi-territorial licensing.
