📋 Tender Overview
The draft Agreement developed by the Eurasian Economic Commission jointly with the states of the Eurasian Economic Union was presented at the International Forum Anti-Counterfeit-2024 by the Director of the Department for Development of Entrepreneurial Activity of the EEC, Ernar Bakenov.
According to him, this document provides for the blocking of illegal content, measures of responsibility for owners of information resources and information intermediaries, as well as the termination of the issuance of information about blocked resources by search engines.
I am confident that the implementation of the Agreement will ensure the application of comparable measures to combat the distribution of pirated content on the Internet, will provide national copyright holders with the opportunity to safely post their works on legal platforms and receive the corresponding income, Ernar Bakenov emphasized.
Noting the importance of developing creative industries and protecting copyright and related rights in the EAEU, the representative of the Commission emphasized that the Treaty on the EAEU provides for the regulation of the activities of collective management organizations (CMOs) by a separate international treaty. In 2019, the Agreement on the Procedure for Collective Management of Copyright and Related Rights came into force. The document established the principles of the activities of the collective management organizations and determined the procedure for distributing and paying remuneration to copyright holders.
The Commission recently monitored the implementation of this Agreement in the Union, which, in particular, noted an increase in the openness and transparency of the activities of collective management organizations, simplification of interaction with copyright holders and the ability to control their activities.
