Article 11—Stakeholder Dialogue

This chapter highlights Article 11 of the European copyright order, Directive 2019/790, concerning stakeholder dialogue. It obliges Member States to consult rightholders, collective management organisations, and cultural heritage institutions in each sector before establishing specific requirements. It also encourages regular dialogue between representative users' and rightholders' organisations, collective management organisations, and any other relevant stakeholder organisations on a sector-specific basis to foster the relevance and usability of licensing mechanisms. The chapter discusses the appropriate safeguards for all rightholders that are introduced by Directive 2019/790 for the use of out-of-commerce works or other subject matter. It also considers the licensing mechanisms established by this Directive in making sure that out-of-commerce works, or other subject matter are relevant and function properly.
