European Commission Exchange Regarding Its Communication to South AFrica, re: Copyright Amendment Bill

infojustice 2020-07-27

Summary:

Last March, the European Commission sent a letter to the South African government warning that its proposed Copyright Amendments Bill carried a "significant legal uncertainty, with negative effects on the South African creative community in general and on foreign investment, including European investment." In May, MEP Jiří POSPÍŠIL asked who from the Commission sent the letter and why they did so. He noted that the Bill "was the result of a consultation involving representatives of all sectors of South African society, and it concluded that it was the best option available and that it was expected to bring positive effects for South African society." He also asked which multinational companies the Commission had communicated with about the Bill.
