From a consumers´ point of view – who in the last stance has to bear the cost of licences and statutory remuneration claims (as for example the copying fee) – it is adamant that collecting societies work efficiently and transparently with regard to their tariff fixing and the management of royalties. In future, all relevant activities, that is fixing of tariffs, management and distribution of royalties and the legal position of creative with respect to the collecting societies shall be subject to the control by a regulatory authority. The relevant framework has to be set by law.
