Below is the language of paragraph 7 of the draft conclusions of SCCR 19 contained in the “Draft Conclusions Version 2.0” document distributed this morning:
7. The Committee noted the proposal that a work program be established on copyright exceptions and limitations for the benefit of persons with print disabilities. This work program would include the initiation of focused consultations aimed at producing a proposal for a Joint Recommendation of the Berne Assembly and the WIPO Assembly regarding copyright limitations and exceptions for persons with print disabilities. This could be another step towards the development of a treaty providing a framework for copyright limitations and exceptions for persons with print disabilities.
The European Union has proposed the following amendment to the language of paragraph 7, that deletes the final sentence of para 7 in Version 2.0:
7. The Committee accepted that a work program should be established on copyright exceptions and limitations for the benefit of persons with print disabilities. The work program will include the initiation of focused consultations aimed at producing a proposal for a Joint Recommendation of the Berne Assembly and the WIPO Assembly regarding copyright limitations and exceptions for persons with print disabilities.
