OPINION OF THE COMMISSION OF COPYRIGHT AND RELATED RIGHTS ON THE UNIQUE TARIFF PROPOSAL OF OFPS and PI

Taking into account ANEM's written objections to the Proposal of unique Tariff of collective organizations OFPS (Organization of phonogram producers of Serbia) and PI (Organization for collective administration of performing rights), the Commission on Copyright and Related Rights gave a negative opinion on this Tariffs Proposal and ordered repeated negotiations between the collective organizations and ANEM, as the representative association of broadcaster, within legal deadline (30 days of receipt of the Opinion), or that these organizations submit a new proposal to the Commission.

The Commission provided the Opinion, arguing that the Tariff Proposal that is applied to broadcasters, did not include the rights that these organizations have license for their collective exercise issued by the Intellectual Property Office.

The Commision's Opinion was submitted to ANEM on January 10, 2012.
