Alongside GESAC’S submission to the Article 17 guidelines consultation, GESAC’s President and Vice-Presidents also sent a letter to Thierry Breton, the European Commissioner for Internal Market.

The letter emphasises the critical nature of the Commission’s proposed guidelines on implementing Article 17 of the Copyright Directive and expresses our concerns that, in its current form, the guidelines could seriously jeopardise the original intentions of the Directive.
