Abstract
Abstract The Collective Management Law (L. 4481/17) transposed Directive 2014/26/EU into national law, and also set a voluminous legal framework on collective management with intensive state intervention. This placed Greece’s collective management organisations (CMOs) in a less favourable operating condition compared with those in other Member States. The implementation procedure in Greece plunged the music market into crisis, and showed that many national CMOs were unprepared to adapt to the new burdensome administrative measures and overloaded the existing competent authority with a variety of monitoring and supervisory tasks. The challenge for legislative initiatives and supervisory mechanisms remains to strike a balance between the quest for transparency and accountability and the viability of smaller and weaker CMOs. This article aims to give a short survey of the new legal framework on collective management in relation to the current day-to-day situation and the case law.
