Amendment 398 #
Proposal for a directive Article 3 – paragraph 2 c (new) 2c.

The criteria shall be adapted to each specific case and take account of the specificities of the situation. The non-meeting of one or more of the criteria does not necessary preclude the situation of posting, but should help in the evaluation of genuine posting. The criteria in paragraphs 1 and 2 are intended to assist a competent authority in cases where the competent authority has reason to believe that a worker may not qualify as posted under Directive 96/71/EC. In such cases the competent authority may apply the criteria and factual elements in paragraphs 1 and 2 which it considers are relevant to the circumstances under consideration. There is no requirement that evidence must be supplied in respect of each criteria or that each criteria must be satisfied in every instance of a posting.

2012/0180(COD) Collective management of copyright and related rights and multi-territorial licensing of rights in musical works for online uses in the internal market
2013/06/06
JURI
19 amendments...
Amendment 133 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 3 (3) When established or operating in the Union, collecting societies – as service providers – must comply with the national requirements pursuant to Directive 2006/123/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 12 December 2006 on services in the internal market which seeks to create a legal framework for ensuring the freedom of establishment and the free movement of services between the Member States. This implies that collecting societies should be free to provide their services across borders, to represent rightholders resident or established in other Member States or grant licences to users resident or established in other Member States.
Amendment 149 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 9 (9) Having the freedom to provide and to receive collective rights management services across national borders entails that rightholders are able to freely choose the collecting society for the management of their rights, such as public performance or broadcasting rights, or categories of rights, such as interactive communication to the public, provided the collecting society already manages such rights or categories of rights. This implies that rightholders can easily withdraw their rights or categories of rights from a collecting society and entrust or transfer all or part of them to another collecting society or another entity irrespective of the Member State of residence or the nationality of either the collecting society or the rightholder. Such freedom of rights management should not give rise to monopolistic practices as defined in Article 102 TFEU and in EU antitrust rules. Collecting societies managing different types of works and other subject matter, such as literary, musical or photographic works, should also allow this flexibility to rightholders as regards the management of different types of works and other subject matter. Collecting societies should inform rightholders of this choice and allow them to exercise it as easily as possible. Finally, this Directive should not prejudice the possibilities of rightholders to manage their rights individually, including for non- commercial uses.

Amendment 129 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraphs 77 a, b, c, d, e, f, g (new) Working arrangements of the Parliament 77a. Believes that, like every directly elected parliament, the Parliament should have the right to decide on its own seat and working place arrangements; 77b. Declares therefore that the Parliament's seat and places of work for Members and officials should be decided upon by the Parliament itself; 77c. Urges the two arms of the budgetary authority (the Council and the Parliament), in order to make financial savings and promote a more sustainable climate- and environment friendly solution, to raise the issue of a single seat and Parliament's working places for Members and officials in the upcoming negotiations on the next MFF for 2014- 2020; 77d. Urges the Member States to revise the issue of the Parliament's seat and working places in the next revision of the Treaty by amending protocol 6; 77e. Calls in the meantime on the Council and the Parliament to start elaborating a road-map towards a single seat and a more efficient use of the Parliament's working places, taking into account specific up to date figures detailing the cost of each place of work and working conditions for staff, as well as economic, societal and environmental factors - to be presented in a report by 30 June 2013; 77f. Believes that, as the most viable place for Parliament's seat would be Brussels, co-located alongside Council, Commission and the EEAS, such a road- map should also include a reasonable solution for Strasbourg and Luxemburg so as to avoid, to the extent possible, any loss of jobs and income for citizens and local and regional authorities in those places of work; such a solution could preferably entail locating other institutions permanently to Strasbourg and Luxemburg that could make full use of the Parliament's buildings; 77g. Suggests that the agreement between the authorities in Luxembourg and the Parliament, on the number of staff to be present in Luxembourg, should be revised taking into account a revision of the Parliament's needs;
