French authors, as represented by the Permanent Council of Writers (http://www NULL.conseilpermanentdesecrivains NULL.org/conference-presse-cpe-17-10-2016) (CPE), have drawn up twelve proposals addressed to European policy makers. Their aim is to ensure that authors continue to enjoy freedom of expression and provide Europe’s biggest cultural industry with high-quality works so that European literature maintains its worldwide impact.
CPE stresses the importance of this proposal now that authors’ rights are being debated at European level, and technological and economic developments (digitization, globalization) are creating new challenges for all stakeholders in the book sector.
The twelve proposals were issued on 17 October 2016 and can be read here.
