I think the first is probably preferable as it sounds quite soft. I especially like "invites" as it is completely non-confrontational.
Not sure which one will attract less opposition though...

@Marcin, in this case, anything that flies with the media and helps us change the text would work. The report that was adopted already calls for minimum standards for exceptions. We're not getting more, but we might get less.
I think we should work on a very neutral, non-scary text as an amendment for the plenary. Perhaps something along the lines of:
- Invites the EU legislator to recognise that the use of photographs,
video footage or other images of works which are permanently located in public places is permitted.
Otherwise, working on the original Cavada text, we could go for:
- Considers that the *commercial* use of photographs, video footage or
other images of works which are permanently located in physical public places should *always* be *permitted* *subject to prior authorisation from the authors or any proxy acting for them*.
Which one is likely to attract less opposition?

Well, but this goes against the general idea of broad, harmonized copyright exceptions which we support I think?
