ECSA is pleased to invite you to a Conference on the implementation of the 2019 Copyright Directive.
The event is co-organised by the Federation of European Screen Directors (FERA), The Federation of Screenwriters in Europe (FSE) and The European Writers' Council (EWC).
The two panel discussions will tackle the current transposition of Articles 18 to 23 of the 2019 EU Copyright Directive into national law (one year after the deadline for implementation) and will delve into the concrete next steps for implementing those provisions.
