The President’s Editorial

Jukka Relander, EBLIDA President

Hola, This is my last newsletter editorial. After three years as a president of this organisation it is time to say goodbye, and thank you very much! It has been a thrill. I have done my best to serve as an ambassador of our organisation, visiting as many countries as I have had time to do, or have been invited to. Accepting a day job two years ago, after 20 years of freelancing, has set some limits to my availability, and I am painfully aware that I should have been more active in the administrative side of the position I had. And I should have been in Brussels more often. The thing is that in an organisation with such limited resources as we have, there is a limit to how much one can do. I hope the next President will have an understanding and supportive employer – and family.

In 2016 I spent a bit more than two months travelling. Since that I tried to reduce it to half, but not so successfully. Personally the best thing has been a chance to visit places I would not have visited otherwise, such as Serbia, Bulgaria, Lebanon or Luxemburg. These were not on the hot list of my tourist destinations, although now they are. I think Sofia and Beirut are on the top of my list of kilos gained during a three night stay. It is a privilege to be hosted by librarians. They always provide a wonderful insight to the society in question, and are the best guides to local culture one can think of. Thank you guys. I would like to thank Vincent Bonnet for excellent co-operation, at least for his part, and Majella Cunnane for keeping me and EBLIDA on track. Executive Committee has been a wonderful playground for interesting discussions, and, afterhours, friendship. A Finland based company LM Information Delivery has kindly and philanthropically sponsored my travelling. It is difficult to express the extent of my gratitude. Now it is time to look forward. There is still the parlour game of the copyright reform going on. Be active, alarm the citizens, and win it. I will plant some herbs.

Looking forward to catching up with you in Strasbourg.
 
Yours sincerely,

Jukka Relander
EBLIDA President  

INSIDE BRUSSELS

Copyright reform – a round-up of information

Copyright ReformEuropean Parliament
The JURI Committee vote is still maintained for 20-21st June.
Due to the recent development, the library coalition sent comments on May 1st to JURI on the various articles still under negotiation. We continue to put a strong emphasis on the article directly linked to libraries, and keep commenting on the most controversial articles 11 and 13.


Council of the European Union
The discussions in Council have reached a COREPER level, i.e. a political level with Ambassadors discussing the proposal directly, and not the legal experts anymore. However, our understanding is that there could be an additional experts meeting in a few days.

Again, most of the discussions here revolve around articles 11 and 13.
 
To be continued.

General Data Protection Regulation

GDPRAs announced on the EU Commission webpage on data protection “the new data protection package adopted in May 2016 aims at making Europe fit for the digital age. More than 90% of Europeans say they want the same data protection rights across the EU and regardless of where their data is processed.


The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
Regulation (EU) 2016/679 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data.

The regulation is an essential step to strengthen citizens' fundamental rights in the digital age and facilitate business by simplifying rules for companies in the digital single market. A single law will also do away with the current fragmentation and costly administrative burdens.
The regulation came into force on 24 May 2016 and will apply from 25 May 2018.
 
We are looking at the best way to comply with this new rule without creating too much complexity.

Statement of Culture Committee Chair on new proposal for the post-2020 EU Budget

Petra Kammerevert, Culture and Education Committee Chair reacted to fresh proposals for EU long-term budget (MFF), as presented by the European Commission on Wednesday.
Following the presentation of the proposals by Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker during a plenary debate in Brussels, Ms Petra Kammerevert (S&D, DE), issued the following statement:


“It is positive that the Commission is focusing much more on young people in the EU than in the previous MFF. I generally welcome the increase in funding for ERASMUS +, as well as the funding provided for the so-called ‘Solidarity Corps’. But the engagement towards young people is not nine times stronger, as EU Commission President Juncker asked for a few months ago. The Parliament originally asked for the funds to be tripled. I clearly disagree with financing an Interrail pass for young people out of ERASMUS+ money with 700 million Euros. This populist measure accounts for nearly 5% of the additional money for Erasmus+. Every youth organisation has to justify its request for funds with a detailed explanation of the added European and educational value in their project. This is necessary because we are spending public money. That is why I personally disagree with the idea of financing young people’s holidays to strengthen the European idea. We could still need more money in all strands of ERASMUS+, which is an education programme!”
 
Petra Kammerevert also added:
 
“The Commission has made the right decision, to keep the stand-alone programme ‘Creative Europe’. The Committee for Culture and Media clearly defended the need for an independent and visible programme to foster media and culture throughout the European Union. The increase in funding is reasonable compared to other budgetary headlines and recognises the need to support creativity in the EU.”
 
“It is also important that all the strands from the former ‘Europe for Citizens’-programme will be continued. Parliament formerly asked here for an increase of 500 Million euros. Unfortunately, we didn’t get this increase, but it is a positive sign that there are no further cuts in this important field to strengthen European values”, she added.
