Enterprise and Regulatory Reform Act 2013

Part 2, Schedule 22: Performers’ rights

536.Part 2, Schedule 22 makes a number of amendments to Schedule 2A to the CDPA 1988, which makes provision for the licensing of performers’ rights. They will have the effect of making equivalent provision in relation to these rights which apply to the licensing of copyright as set out at section 77. That is they mirror the provisions made for copyright in works for copyright in performer’s rights. New paragraph 1A covers the licensing of “orphan works”, new paragraph 1B the voluntary extended collective licensing scheme and new paragraphs 1C and 1D covers both the “orphan works” and voluntary extended collective licensing schemes.

Impact Assessments

Impact Assessments generally accompany all UK Government interventions of a regulatory nature that affect the private sector, civil society organisations and public services. They apply regardless of whether the regulation originates from a domestic or international source and can accompany primary (Acts etc) and secondary legislation (SIs). An Impact Assessment allows those with an interest in the policy area to understand:

  • Why the government is proposing to intervene;
  • The main options the government is considering, and which one is preferred;
  • How and to what extent new policies may impact on them; and,
  • The estimated costs and benefits of proposed measures.
