The Implementation of Directive 2001/29/EC in The Netherlands

Abstract

Overview of the transposition of the European Copyright (InfoSoc) Directive into Dutch law. To say that the Dutch legislature has enthusiastically embraced the Directive would be overstating it. In respect of the economic rights harmonized by the Directive, the Dutch lawmaker has acted conservatively, and transposed the norm of the Directive only insofar as amendment of existing national provisions was deemed inevitable. The legislature has been more forthcoming in the area of exceptions. Six new limitations, all rubberstamped by the Directive, have been introduced, while the scope of several others has been expanded.
