Intellectual property and broadcaster's rights
DG XV, the department of the European Commission responsible for matters relating to the Internal Market and financial services, is calling for tenders for a study relating to the conditions applicable to intellectual property contracts in the EU and the protection of broadcaster's rights at European and international level. The call is divided into two lots, the first relating to copyright and neighbouring rights in the EU. The purpose of this is to assess the impact of differences in legislation on the smooth functioning of the single market, and the need for further harmonisation at Community level of contract rules. The second lot relates to a study of broadcaster's rights. It is aimed at evaluating the need to update broadcaster's rights at Community and international level.
