Copyright and Related Rights (Certification of Licensing Scheme for Reprographic Copying by Educational Establishments) (The Irish Copyright Licensing Agency Limited) Order 2002 (S.I. No. 514 of 2002)

Section 57 of the Copyright and Related Rights Act 2000 (No. 28 of 2000) provides for limited copyright exceptions, which allow free reprographic copying by educational establishments in certain circumstances. However, this exception does not apply where there is a licensing scheme (certified by the Minister under Section 173) in operation. Section 173 provides for the certification of a licensing scheme for the purposes of Section 57 where the Minister is satisfied that the licensing body in charge of the scheme is representative of a substantial number of rightsholders in the category of works to which the scheme is designed to apply, and the scheme sets out clearly the charges payable and the other terms and conditions on which licences are to be granted. Through this Order, the Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment has certified the licensing scheme operated by the Irish Copyright Licensing Agency Limited, with effect from 13th January 2003. The Schedule to the Order contains details of the licensing scheme.

The Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment signed this Order on the 12th November 2002 specifying that the scheme would come into effect on 13th January 2003.

This instrument implements elements of the Copyright and Related Rights Act, 2000 (Act No. 28 of 2000). See IP/N/1/IRL/C/3.
