  • Review of the EU Copyright Framework
    Review of the EU copyright framework European Implementation Assessment Review of the EU copyright framework: The implementation, application and effects of the "InfoSoc" Directive (2001/29/EC) and of its related instruments European Implementation Assessment Study In October 2014, the Committee on Legal Affairs (JURI) requested from the European Parliament Research Service (EPRS) an Ex Post Impact Assessment on Directive 2001/29/EC on the harmonisation of certain aspects of copyright and related rights in the information society (InfoSoc). This EPRS publication was originally commissioned in the context of JURI's own- initiative implementation report, which was adopted in Plenary in July 2015, Rapporteur Julia Reda MEP. However, it is also relevant to the work of JURI Committees' Working Group on Intellectual Property Rights and Copyright (CWG), chaired by Jean Marie Cavada MEP. Furthermore, this request was made in the wider context of the Commission's review of the EU legislative framework on copyright, and the ensuing legislative proposals, which have been a long time in the planning and which are now expected for the 4th quarter of 2015. The objective of these proposals is to modernise the EU copyright framework, and in particular the InfoSoc Directive, in light of the digital transformation. Accordingly, in response to the JURI request, the Ex-Post Impact Assessment Unit of the European Parliament Research Service decided to produce a "European Implementation Assessment on the review of the EU copyright framework". Implementation reports of EP committees are now routinely accompanied by European Implementation Assessments, drawn up by the Ex-Post Impact Assessment Unit of the Directorate for Impact Assessment and European Added Value, within the European Parliament's Directorate-General for Parliamentary Research Services.

  • Autumn 2017 Budget: Period Drama Or Zombie Apocalypse?, Practical Law UK Articles
    Autumn 2017 Budget: period drama or zombie apocalypse?, Practical Law UK Articles... Autumn 2017 Budget: period drama or zombie apocalypse? by Practical Law Tax Articles | Published on 24-Nov-2017 | UK, United Kingdom Leading tax experts gave us their views on the Autumn 2017 Budget. (Free access.) We asked leading tax practitioners for their views on the Autumn 2017 Budget. An overview of their comments is set out below; click on a name to read the comment in full. For the main measures of interest to businesses, see Legal update, Autumn 2017 Budget: key business tax announcements. For coverage of the implications of the Autumn 2017 Budget for a range of practice areas and sectors, see Practical Law, Autumn 2017 Budget. Setting the scene Despite an almost effervescent political delivery by "Spreadsheet Phil" (complete with comedic props from his co-star diva, Mrs May), the Autumn 2017 Budget was, barring one or two eye-raising exceptions, not edge of the seat viewing. Simon Skinner, Travers Smith LLP "was left with an impression of lots of words but not that much substance". Geraint Jones, Berg Kaprow Lewis LLP described it as "a rather timid affair" As ever, context is all. This was a minority government on the eve of the biggest destabilising global political event in recent history. And an opposition party biting at its heels with unanticipated vigour. Further, despite Fiscal Phil's audition for the lead role in a comedy caper, the figures belong in a disaster movie. There is surely only so much film star glamour to be mustered whilst uttering the words "[a]nd regrettably our productivity performance continues to disappoint".
