To ask Her Majesty's Government whether they intend to support the inclusion in the EU Directive on Copyright in the Digital Single Market provisions to ensure that creators receive fair remuneration for the use of their works.

The Government has considered the provisions on fair remuneration in the EU Directive on Copyright in the Digital Single Market, which is still under negotiation. We support the principle that creators should be fairly rewarded for their work, but also want to ensure that these measures do not undermine incentives to invest in the creation of new content.
