&lt;li&gt;To create a truly international forum where decisions are made on the future of copyright and creative industries,&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;To position the event as a hub where all parties involved in the creative industries &amp;ndash; in their widest sense &amp;ndash; can meet, debate, and compare views and business ideas, find solutions, and establish the framework for a new relationship in the 21st century,&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;To re-assert the value of creators&amp;rsquo; works and to defend creators&amp;rsquo; rights and the collective management system in the digital environment.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;p&gt;ICMP (the International Confederation of Music Publishers) is the international umbrella trade association representing the interests of the music publishing community globally. The constituent members of ICMP are national, regional and international classical and popular music publishers&amp;rsquo; associations from Europe, North and South America and Asia‐Pacific. Included are the leading independent international, regional and national music publishers, as well as the four multinational music publishing companies.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Music publishers as members of collecting societies recognise the value of collective licensing in particular in areas not realistically licensable by writers/publishers such as off-line public performance (licensing of establishments, for instance bars and restaurants), in cases where users may need a blanket license (for example broadcasting and simulcasting), unaltered re-transmission of broadcasts, in cases such as those where levy collections are required and generally in cases of well-established business models.&amp;nbsp; Generally speaking, the value of collective licensing to members is relative to how well or badly the efficiencies of scale are administered.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</description><author>anne-sophie.duchene@icmp-ciem.org (Sarah Coppens)</author><category>Policy positions / ICMP and the European Union</category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.icmp-ciem.org/policy_positions/icmp_and_the_european_union/ec_public_hearing_on_collective_rights_management.htm</guid><pubDate>Wed, 28 Apr 2010 15:24:02 +0200</pubDate></item><item><title>The European Digital Library and Orphan Works</title><link>http://www.icmp-ciem.org/policy_positions/icmp_and_the_european_union/the_european_digital_library_and_orphan_works.htm</link><description>&lt;p&gt;ICMP recognises the crucial role of the European Digital Library, Europeana, in preserving and facilitating access to Europe&amp;rsquo;s cultural heritage, and welcomes the decision by the trio of Presidencies - Spain, Belgium and Hungary -&amp;nbsp;to advance its creation.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The digitisation process raises the question of how to deal with orphan works and ICMP has therefore signed and fully supports the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on Orphan Works, which was drawn up in June 2008 within the framework of the European Digital Libraries Initiative. While cultural institutions digitising their collections need adequate certainty to deal with orphan works, use of orphan works must respect copyright and related rights, economic and moral rights. Appropriate standards of a due diligent search must therefore precede any qualification of a work as "orphan".&lt;/p&gt;</description><author>anne-sophie.duchene@icmp-ciem.org (Sarah Coppens)</author><category>Policy positions / ICMP and the European Union</category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.icmp-ciem.org/policy_positions/icmp_and_the_european_union/the_european_digital_library_and_orphan_works.htm</guid><pubDate>Thu, 01 Apr 2010 14:15:22 +0200</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
