| NEWS FROM AFRICA |
| Since the end of the 1960s, many African States have enacted legislation on authors’ rights. Having acceded to the international copyright conventions, these States have ensured in general that their laws are consistent with the conventions. In these first few years of the 21st century, the legislative effort has continued and a number of laws have been amended recently. Nevertheless, the major principles of the protection of authors’ rights in Africa have not changed. Two characteristic features can be noted: firstly, a will to take account of Africa’s particular circumstances (both economic and cultural) and, secondly, a concern to adapt to the global market and to international rules. However, despite the fact that these principles are clearly affirmed in most African States’ laws and in the Bangui regional agreement, they are not always enforced in practice. Although collective management is establishing itself progressively in some States, remedies and penalties are seldom applied, with the result that infringers can blithely ignore the law of copyright. |

| NEWS FROM GREECE |
| The report from Greece begins with a review of legislative developments in Greece in the period from 1999 to 2003 which saw five new laws enacted in the field of authors’ rights. Two of them implement respectively Community Directives 96/9 on databases and 01/29 on the information society, another two ratify the WIPO treaties of 1996 on copyright and performances/ phonograms and the fifth deals with certain aspects of private copying. The second part discusses developments in case law which included decisions addressing the notion of originality, digital exploitation, the protection of photographs and the law’s retroactive application. Several decisions also dealt with issues involving collective management (presumption of competence and abuse of a dominant position) and equitable remuneration (private copying, rate of remuneration and remuneration for neighbouring rights). |

| NEWS FROM BELGIUM |
| There was little legislative activity during the period under review. The main enactment was the law to implement the directive on electronic commerce which follows the directive literally. Otherwise, new royal decrees have adapted the rates of remuneration for private copying. The implementation of the directive on copyright in the information society is well overdue and has still not been proposed in the two Houses. A preliminary draft bill on the supervision of management societies caused quite a lot of ink to flow. Case law, particularly at the level of the higher courts, has continued its tradition of being protective of authors’ rights. New issues submitted to the courts included the protection of the layout of a newspaper and the format of a radio programme, infringement of the moral right by stopping publication, the nature of a hyperlink, the liability of the operator of a BBS and other IT services, and the extent of the availability of the new action for a prohibitory injunction in the manner of emergency proceedings. |
