Hi all,
Unfortunately the result was no good.
Articles 11 (neighbouring right for press publications) and 13 (platform
liability) were carried in full as per EPP proposals.
The Freedom of Panorama and User-Generated Content exceptions didn't
make it.
The final mandate was adopted 438 votes in favor, 226 against and 39
abstentions.
The Parliament will now start the negotiations with the Council
(trilogue) based on this mandate. There we can work on "safeguarding the
public domain" and keeping the carve-out for non-for-profit platforms like
ours (which is both in the Parliament and in the Council position).
There will be a final vote in the parliament plenary after the trilogue
on the the adoption of the final trilogue result. We cannot currently
predict a timeline for when this final plenary vote will be, but this will
take months.
Thank you everyone for the efforts, help and support. Despite the bad
news you were great and against terrible odds we got the small improvements
on public domain and carve-outs that wouldn't have happened without all of
you. We need to remember that these are not our decisions to take in the
end and the best we can do is inform and convince, which we did as best as
we could.
Anna & Dimi
