As we announced in our arti­cle of 6 October 2021, the European Parliament adopt­ed a res­o­lu­tion on the sit­u­a­tion of artists and cul­tur­al recov­ery in the EU on 20 October 2021.

Adopted by a large major­i­ty (543 votes for, 50 against, 107 absten­tions), the text comes out in favour of con­crete and struc­tur­ing mea­sures to enhance the sit­u­a­tion of artists –per­form­ers in par­tic­u­lar– in all Member States.

It boosts our posi­tion on key issues such as the right to col­lec­tive bar­gain­ing for free­lance musi­cians work­ing on a self-​employed basis (European Commission ini­tia­tive: Collective bar­gain­ing for self-​employed) or access to tru­ly effec­tive and pro­por­tion­ate remu­ner­a­tions for online use of record­ed per­for­mances (trans­po­si­tion of Directive 2019/​790).
