This discusses Article 18 of the European copyright directive, Directive 2019/790, which sets forth the principle of appropriate and proportionate remuneration. It instructs Member States to ensure that authors and performers are entitled to receive appropriate and proportionate remuneration their exclusive rights are licensed or transferred for the exploitation of their works or other subject matter. It also highlights the liberty of Member States to use different mechanisms and take into account the principle of contractual freedom and a fair balance of rights and interests. The chapter clarifies that authors and performers tend to be in the weaker contractual position when they grant a licence or transfer their rights for the purposes of exploitation in return for remuneration. It explains how protection does not arise where the contractual counterpart acts as an end user and does not exploit the work or performance itself.

It talks about digital technologies that permit new types of uses that are not clearly covered by the existing Union rules on exceptions and limitations in the fields of research, innovation, education, and preservation of cultural heritage. It also describes the optional nature of exceptions and limitations that could negatively impact the functioning of the internal market. The chapter discusses the exceptions and limitations provided in Directive 2019/790 that seek to achieve a fair balance between the rights and interests of authors, other rightholders, and users.

The chapter cites the task of Member States to exclude works or other subject matter from the application of the revocation mechanism if such works or other subject matter usually contain contributions of a plurality of authors or performers. It explores the options of authors or performers to terminate the exclusivity of their contract instead of revoking the licence or transfer of the rights.

Abstract. EURAD, the European Joint Programme on Radioactive Waste Management (RWM), is the European Research Programme on RWM, aimed at supporting member states with the implementation of their national programmes. It brings together over 100 organisations from different backgrounds and countries, which work together in RD&D projects, Strategic Studies and Knowledge Management (KM). The importance of KM is recognised by EURAD and reflected in a number of activities. One essential activity is the capture of the current State-of-Knowledge in the field of RWM and its transfer to the implementation of the different national programmes. This is done by different types of Knowledge Documents that are made available through a dedicated IT tool (e.g. a Wiki). The development of the individual EURAD KM documents is performed by recognised experts. These experts will share their view on the most relevant knowledge on a specific topic, highlighting safety functions and operational aspects. Additionally, signposting to pre-existing documents is performed (State-of-the-Art Documents, Scientific Papers, etc.). The hierarchy of the works for the KM documents (Theme Overview, Domain Insight, State-of-Knowledge, Guidance) is closely linked to the generic EURAD Roadmap/GBS (Goals Breakdown Structure). It provides a hierarchical structure that facilitates definition, organisation and communication of topics. All of this allows knowledge to be captured and presented with the level of detail that is required by the end-user, from a broad overview down to an increasing level of detail (pyramid of knowledge). To ensure the quality and consistency of the documents with the overall EURAD KM approach, quality assurance and editorial procedures are applied. Collection of end-user feedback will aid the optimisation and further development of the KM activities. To facilitate the transfer of knowledge, the EURAD KM programme goes beyond documents and strives to facilitate exchange between people and signpost to other resources, such as Training and Mobility activities (also organised by EURAD Work Package 13 Training & Mobility) or Communities of Practice. All these activities will contribute to a useful and end-user-friendly EURAD KM programme that is designed to be operational well beyond the runtime of EURAD-1. This presentation will provide further insight into the approaches, status of work and an outlook on future activities that will support member states with the implementation of their national programmes.

The procedure of traceability of finished product, the regulating actions for tracking of products, beginning from the raw materials used for production of the single-part randomly chosen consumer package of a product and ending with shipment of this product to distributing facilities and also for tracking of processing of randomly chosen raw materials are offered. The traceability system does not guarantee a complete elimination of risk from arrival to the enterprise of improper raw and other materials, but allows tracking and identifying a source of nonconformance, after receiving of problem in quality of finished product. If a source of nonconformance is raw or other materials, then the manufacturer can allocate responsibilities for damage to property to the supplier of these raw or other materials. The procedure of traceability provides carrying out of training exercises at least once a year for determination of efficiency and working capacity of the current system of traceability, and also for identification and elimination of bottlenecks. For monitor and control over the stages of a process flow on the basis of the available database were proved the critical parameters of production process of confectionery, which control will allow to receive a safe product with the set technological and end-user performances. For monitor and control over the stages of a process flow on the basis of the available database on product traceability were proved the critical parameters of production process of confectionery, which control will allow to receive a safe product with the set technological and end-user performances. The accepted system eliminates a possibility of sales of products of nonconforming quality and allows to go back from the established control procedures that promotes the productivity enhancement.

This chapter considers the three requirements for copyright and related rights to subsist—the existence of a subject matter of protectable type that is sufficiently connected to the territory of the protecting state and that satisfies any applicable formalities—the combination of international and EU legal sources by which they have been harmonized for EU Member States, and the beneficiaries of the resulting copyright and related rights protection.
