The economics of online news aggregation and neighbouring rights for news publishers
Dear Communications Networks, Content and Technology,
Under the right of access to documents in the EU treaties, as developed in Regulation 1049/2001, I am requesting documents which contain the following information:
Before or around 2016, the JRC sent a draft study to DG CNECT regarding "The economics of online news aggregation and neighbouring rights for news publishers". According to files released by JRC, the DG CNECT commented on this study at least in May and June of 2017.
I am requesting all information held by DG CNECT in relation to the JRC study "The economics of online news aggregation and neighbouring rights for news publishers". This includes emails, letters, memos from and to JRC as well as to other parties as well as internal communication. This specifically includes all information relating to the study in the form of communication with third parties and other DGs or Commission units. This also includes information held by CNECT relating to this study if the study was named differently at some point in time.
Please note: In accordance with the Regulation 1049/2001, I want all information held by CNECT to be included in this request, including information that is not considered important and/or was not filed, archived or registered in ARES or other systems. I do not agree to restriction of the search to ARES and other filing systems as this might result in incomplete results for the access to documents request.
Out of abundance of caution: On May 29, 2017, DG CNECT ordered JRC not to release the study "as confirmed with our [CNECT] hierarcy". I want all information - regardless of medium - about the decision making process relating to the release of this study included in this request as well as any information about other decisions to release or not to release this study. This includes notes and memos, minutes and protocols concerning phone calls held with JRC and others such as the phone call on or before May 29, 2017.
Out of abundance of caution: On June 15, CNECT was asked by JRC to provide sources and citations for some claims made during the commenting of the study. I want this communication and any information held by CNECT related to this task to be included in this request.
Yours faithfully,
Julia Reda
