Two reports adopted by an overwhelming majority in @EPCulture👉@MonicaSemedoLux report on the situation of #artists and the #culturalrecovery➕Mrs. Melbarde’s on Europe’s Media in the Digital Decade: An Action Plan to Support Recovery and Transformation.
4 key take-aways👇

1⃣MEPs have strong concerns against coercive buy-out contracts, urging the @EU_Commission to take concrete steps to prevent coercive practices that can hamper creators from enjoying adequate & proportionate remuneration @nnienass @TFrankowski21 @laurencefarreng @CISACNews

2⃣ @EPCulture asks @EU_Commission to assess the role and impact of streaming services (both AV and music), on creators’ remuneration and cultural diversity - including algorithms and playlists. @Ibangarciadb @Film_directors @GabrielMariya @authorsocieties @DomenecD @fred_matic

3⃣ They call on Member States to urgently transpose the Copyright Directive and to “guarantee fair, appropriate and proportionate remuneration for authors and performers". @ThierryBreton @culturagob @cultura_pt @dariofrance @ScreenwritersEU @CouncilWriters

4⃣And to ensure access and promote collective bargaining for all solo-self-employed, including artists and cultural workers. @IratxeGarper @TheProgressives @vestager @ScreenwritersEU @Film_directors @EU_Competition @FIA_actors @unimei 👇

Thanks and congratulations to all involved 🙏👏@MonicaSemedoLux #Melbarde. Now looking forward to the adoption in Plenary @Europarl_EN and up to the @EU_Commission to take action. @GabrielMariya @ThierryBreton @CultCreatorsEU
