I am back from Vilnius again where the Mykolas Romeris University, in cooperation with the Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Lithuania organized a conference on the collective management of authors’ and neighbouring rights in Europe, focusing on the implementation of the 2014/26/EU Directive on Collective Rights Management.

I have just got back from Vilnius where I was invited by the Lithuanian Ministry of Culture to make a presentation on the collective management of audiovisual authors’ rights.
