<p style="margin:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><i><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black">“Libraries across Europe are working hard to build stronger, richer, fairer societies through access to information. We need forward-looking
copyright reforms to deliver this. Europe still has a way to go before it has the laws its libraries deserve".</span></i><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p style="margin:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black">The European Union’s draft Directive on copyright has been the subject of intense discussion for almost two years. It is a crucial document
for libraries, with provisions relating both to core activities for our institutions, as well as the way people express themselves and access information online.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

behalf of its European members, and in order to set the right precedent internationally. Our members have engaged with their representatives as part of a concerted campaign. And in most of the areas where libraries have focused most, there has been welcome
progress.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="margin:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="margin:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black">If the text agreed by the Parliament becomes law, libraries will have clearer possibilities to digitise works for preservation, including
via cross-border networks. They will benefit from possibilities to digitise and upload books, articles and other documents which are no longer on sale, and so not available anywhere else. And they will have a right to benefit from copyright exceptions for
teaching.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p style="margin:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black">Yet elsewhere, the majority of the European Parliament voted for provisions which could do serious damage to the not-for-profit platforms
that host open access articles and open educational resources. They also proposed to make use of two-word fragments of news articles subject to payment. Finally, they have introduced complexity into the rules around text and data mining, which could create
confusion and risk setting Europe further behind in the global innovation field.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p style="margin:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black">The next stage for the reform is discussions between the European Commission, and representatives of the Parliament and Member States.
IFLA will make sure that all involved know what they need to do to set the right course for a more creative, innovative future.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
