European Union (Collective Rights Management) (Directive 2014/26/EU) (Amendment) Regulations 2016 (S.I. No. 616 of 2016)

These Regulations, made pursuant to the European Communities Act 1972, amend the European Union (Collective Rights Management) (Directive 2014/26/EU) Regulations 2016 (S.I. No. 156 of 2016), which were enacted to transpose Directive 2014/26/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 February 2014. The Regulations make a technical amendment to the previous Regulations, which is necessary to avoid a conflict between the duties of a Director to manage a company under the Companies Act 2014 and the requirement, under the European Union (Collective Rights Management) (Directive 2014/26/EU) Regulations 2016, for a Collective Rights Management organization to establish a supervisory function which does not consist of those involved in the day-to-day management of the collective rights management organization.

European Union (Collective Rights Management) (Directive 2014/26/EU) (Amendment) Regulations 2016 (S.I. No. 616 of 2016) was signed into law on 16/12/2016 and subsequently published in Iris Oifigiúil on 23/12/2016
