• Resumen

  • Two judgments, delivered by the Conseil d�État on 19 November, have confirmed recent decisions on private copying remuneration adopted by the responsible committee and which had been contested by representatives of industrialists and distributors of electronic equipment and a number of manufacturers. These were Decision 15, which laid down the remuneration for most media, and Decision 14, which reinstated the remuneration for tablets following the annulment by the Conseil d'État of the committee�s previous decision on the topic. The applicants had challenged a number of points, including not only the committee�s competence, its composition and the procedure for adopting the disputed decisions, but also the basis used for calculating the remuneration, its amount, and its refund.
