Following the Act being passed a few technical changes have been announced, such as the replacement of the address for service in the European Economic Area (EEA) to one in the UK for proceedings in the Copyright Tribunal.
The PPA welcomes this move as it avoids unnecessary uncertainty for specialist publishing businesses, particularly those who operate in both the UK and European markets.
We have been lobbying the Government on these matters to avoid needless uncertainty in the name of the UK independence advocated by Ministers, including Jacob Rees-Mogg, when supporting initial drafts of the Bill. This would have caused needless disruption to our sector.
The PPA is pleased that the Government has responded to our calls for continuity in the interests of business.
If you have any questions or wish to discuss this further with our public affairs team, please contact our Policy and Public Affairs Manager, Eilidh.wilson@ppa.co.uk

Party conferences are a valuable chance to build relationships with politicians, ministers and their staff, to meet new and existing stakeholders within each party, and to hear ministers’ views on the issues that matter most to the publishing industry.
