      COMMENTS AND PROPOSALS
      OF THE ASSOCIATION OF INDEPENDENT AUDIOVISUAL PRODUCERS (SAPOE) TO THE DRAFT LAW OF THE MINISTRY OF CULTURE WITH A TITLE  
       ‘Creative Greece: strengthening the cinematographic, audiovisual and creative sectors, establishing a body for books and other provisions for contemporary culture’

      Article 42

      For private owners, holders or possessors of material carriers of audiovisual works, in any capacity whatsoever (as producers, co-producers, etc.), the obligation to deliver copies laid down in paragraph 2 is manifestly unconstitutional. The Digital Repository established by Article 42 in general cannot be created by imposing an obligation except on an optional basis. Therefore, only state-owned legal persons, even if they operate as an AE, such as ERT, can be subject to the obligations of this article. For private beneficiaries only the optional delivery of the physical carrier does not raise any legal problems. The provision as it stands infringes the constitutionally guaranteed right of ownership of the rightholders, understood both as a right in rem over the media and as copyright in the audiovisual work incorporated in the media.
      Moreover, Article 88(1) of the draft law correctly refers to ‘the written consent of the legal holders of the rights in each project’ in relation to the administrative act that will regulate the specific issues of the Digital Repository.

      Article 43

      The layout moves in a positive direction. However, since the Hub obviously does not have a separate legal personality but is simply an Directorate within the company, it raises concerns about how it will contract with third parties, how it will be designated as the final beneficiary or co-beneficiary for projects, etc.

      Article 45

      Insert incorrectly the name of the Company as "National" instead of "Greek Film Centre etc".

      Comments on Part D

      Article 45 (in conjunction with Article 88(3)):

      The establishment and operation of Audiovisual Production Facilitation Offices (DOP Offices) is considered to be positive in principle, provided that they are equipped with appropriate competences and qualified staff, so that they can effectively carry out the task of promoting and strengthening the support environment for audiovisual productions and, in particular, the administrative service and facilitation of audiovisual productions in their area of territorial competence. Article 88(3) provides that the issues of administrative procedures carried out by the DOP Offices will be specified by issuing a special Joint Ministerial Decision.

      In order to achieve effectively the objectives of the above provision, it is proposed to consolidate, codify and modernise the existing scattered arrangements for audiovisual productions and the involvement of state bodies and services in the production process (by granting licences, submitting notifications, exercising supervision, controls, or other functions within their competence). At the same time, it is proposed to establish specific rules for the handling and provision of administrative facilities by state bodies and services, especially for audiovisual productions, for issues where such rules do not exist or the existing rules are unclear or obsolete. On this basis, the promotion and reinforcement actions as well as the administrative service and facilitation of audiovisual productions by the DOP Offices are expected to become much more substantial.

      COMMENTS AND PROPOSALS OF THE ASSOCIATION OF DIRECTORS-PRODUCERS OF GREEK CINEMA (ESPEK) IN THE DRAFT LAW OF THE MINISTRY OF CULTURE WITH TITLE
      ‘Creative Greece: strengthening the cinematographic, audiovisual and creative sectors, establishing a body for books and other provisions for contemporary culture’

      Following consultations with the relevant associations on this draft law, we endorse the following comments:

      ARTICLE 42
      We repeat that the provision of the article for an obligation to deliver to the Agency an unaltered copy of the audiovisual work as well as its use by other public bodies is particularly problematic and unrealistic, whether it is a Greek production or an international co-production, as it conflicts with a number of legal issues of intellectual property and ignores or ignores the way the international audiovisual industry operates.

      The Foundation ‘Greek Film Archives-Greek Film Archive’, established by Royal Decree 105/1963 (Government Gazette, Series I, No 20) (hereinafter ‘the Film Archive’), since its establishment has had as its purpose and implemented the creation of a cinema archive, with the acquisition, preservation, preservation, promotion and promotion of Greek and foreign films, being until now the only institution in Greece with this purpose. At the same time, the Film Archive is a representative of Greece, a regular member of the International Association of Film Archives (FIAF) and a founding member of the European Association of Film Archives (ACE).

      Article 34 of Law 3905/2010, as amended by Law 4315/2014, recognises the Film Archive as an official body for the preservation of cinematographic heritage with a view to collecting, cataloguing, archiving, preserving, preserving, restoring, digitising, exploiting moving image material and, in particular, cinematographic works.
      Article 34(5) of Law 3905/2010 provides that, in order to facilitate the creation of the archive, the Film Archive is to act as the repository body for Greek films, with the legal deposit/depot legal requirement for a copy of each Greek film, as laid down in Article 3 of Law 3905/2010.
      Finally, Article 34(6) of Law 3905/2010 provides that the film archive created through legal deposit is not an asset of the foundation but belongs to the Greek State.
      The draft law under consultation ‘Creative Greece: the strengthening of the film, audiovisual and creative sectors, the establishment of a body for books and other provisions for contemporary culture" provides for the establishment of the body EKKOMED, which in accordance with Article 42 will establish and operate a National Digital Repository of Audiovisual Works. However, the objectives of the above repository of EKKOMED partly include objectives of the Film Archive as described in Article 34 of Law 3905/2010, without clarifying the relationship between the two bodies.
      In particular, both EKKOMED – National Repository and Film Archive bodies aim at collecting, cataloguing, archiving, preserving, preserving, restoring, digitising, exploiting moving image material (audiovisual works in general) and cinematographic works in particular (Article 42(1)(a) of the draft law and Article 34(2) of Law 3905/2010). Both bodies are also to operate as public repositories of films (EKKOMED and as a repository of other audiovisual works) through the institution of the legal deposit of a copy (Article 42(2) of the draft law – Article 34(5) of Law 3905/2010).
      In practice, the above provisions of the bill provide for the establishment of a second film archive by EKKOMED alongside the film archive of the Film Archive.
      Article 42(3) provides for the cooperation of the two bodies through programmatic contracts aimed at creating a single film archive and audiovisual works in general, which will be managed by EKKOMED, thus potentially depriving the Film Archive of the management of its own film archive.

      First of all, we would like to point out that the draft law on the creation of a repository of audiovisual works, i.e. television programmes, television series, etc. (in addition to films) is very positive, because to date there is no other corresponding national archive (only ERT has created an archive of audiovisual works mainly with audiovisual works from its own television programme). This project is very important for the preservation of cultural and cultural heritage in general.
      However, in order to avoid overlaps, contradictions and ambiguities and in order to systematically bring the new provisions into line with Article 34 of Law 3905/2010, and in particular the provision that the Film Archive is the official body for the preservation of cinematographic heritage, we propose that the draft law clarifies the following:

      a) After paragraph 1 of article 42 of the bill to add a new paragraph number 2 (and renumbering the following paragraphs) which provides that the purposes of the national repository provided for in paragraph 1 with regard to cinematographic films only will be implemented by the Film Archive, which will manage the relevant cinematographic archive.
      b) Article 42(2) to be amended and to provide that a specific programmatic contract concluded between EKKOMED and the Film Archive shall regulate any matter relating to the implementation by the Film Archive of the objectives referred to in paragraph 1 with regard to cinematographic films and the safeguarding of the resources required for the implementation of the above objectives.
