Audiovisual Council adopts resolution on Europeana

The Council chaired by the Spanish Presidency and attended by Vice-President Kroes adopted resolution calling on the Member States and the Commission to reinforce the impact of Europeana.

Although the Conclusions of the Council don’t specifically mention ARROW the text reads ‘The digitisation and on line accessibility of our cultural heritage should be carried out in full respect of intellectual property rights; there is a need to make rapid progress in finding workable solutions for digitising out-of-print and out-of-distribution works and bringing them on line, and for addressing the orphan works issue. This is a further support from European institutions to the work undertaken by the ARROW project.
