workshop on the national implementation of the EU copyright 
Directive. London, Friday 1 February 2002. 
Programme available from 
www.eblida.org/conferences/copyright/copyright.htm

The EU copyright Directive is now in the final, crucial stage of 
transposition into the national copyright legislation of EU member 
states and central and eastern candidate countries. This is the last 
opportunity to influence your governments and to discuss progress 
with European colleagues. The workshop will provide an update on 
the current situation and an opportunity to discuss implementation 
with rightholder representatives.

Who is the workshop for?
Librarians, information professionals, representatives from higher 
education, archives and museums as well as allied user groups, 
who are effected by the outcome of the Directive. Also of interest to 
national policy makers who wish to be briefed on trends in national 
implementation. Some knowledge of the principles of copyright is 
recommended.

What will the workshop cover?
The European Commission will present their views on 
implementation and there will be short progress reports from 
representative countries. Authors and publishers are invited to 
outline their concerns. Participants are encouraged to discuss the 
issues, to swap ideas and to ask questions from the experts.
