SAA welcomed the productive and constructive exchange on 22nd June and was pleased to present Vice President Ansip with the 2nd edition of our White Paper on audiovisual authors’ rights and remuneration in Europe.  The SAA patrons discussed how their works could reach more people in Europe while respecting the financing of works and ensuring that screenwriters and directors are remunerated when their works are shown.  The meeting covered a variety of subjects including authors’ remuneration, geo-blocking, territoriality, media windows and enforcement.
