Kommissionär Vivian Reading i ett tal den 9 juli

"if we do not reform our European copyright rules on orphan works and 
libraries swiftly,
digitisation and the development of attractive content offers will not 
take place in Europe,
but on the other side of the Atlantic."

− First of all, we could facilitate the licensing of intellectual 
property rights for
online services covering the territory of all 27 EU Member States.

- Second example: We should create a modern set of European rules that
encourage the digitisation of books.
