FERA, FSE and UNI MEI hold sixth and final online workshop of common project on Collective Bargaining

---

Bringing FERA FSE UNI-MEI joint project “Strengthening Collective Bargaining for Audiovisual Creators” workshop series to an end, the workshop “Towards Conclusions” gathered 34 participants from 23 countries on February 22, 2023.

Experts and representatives of FERA and FSE’s networks heard about the progress made on the project various workstreams, and had the opportunity to comment on the project deliverables to be finalised mid 2023 such as the Database of national transpositions of 2019 Directive on Copyright in the Digital Single Market provisions on fair remuneration of authors & performers, the Index of existing collective bargaining agreements and the Toolkit for screenwriters and directors professional organisations seeking to reinforce their ability to enter into collective negotiations.

The workshop was also a platform to take stock of the lessons learnt through this programme’s various workshop and webinars organised over the last two years, the benefits of an ongoing platform on the topic between screenwriters’ and directors’ representatives, for further exchange on priorities for a potential new edition of this joint project, as well as on activities and deliverables that would be most useful for FERA and FSE members at this stage.
