The members of the EPAA have recently seen the necessity to restate that Internet piracy dramatically affects them and to confirm the premise that such practices are having drastic negative impacts on their financial stability.
The European Commission is currently studying the effects of the territorialisation criteria of the public support systems for film production.
The European Commission has launched a new consultation on Private Copying levies, aimed at developing a common application of these levies.
The members of the EPAA fully support the system of payment for private copy.
