EU CRM Directive definition

What does EU CRM Directive mean?

Directive 2014/26/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 February 2014 on collective management of copyright and related rights and multi-territorial licensing of rights in musical works for online use in the internal market (the EU CRM Directive) was announced in 2012 and Member States were required to transpose the EU CRM Directive into their national laws by 10 April 2016. The aim of the EU CRM Directive was to simplify the licensing process across the EU by: • increasing transparency and efficiency in the functioning of all EU copyright CMOs, ensuring that rights holders have more say in the decision-making process and receive accurate and timely royalty payments • facilitating the multi-territorial licensing of online music • creating dynamic cross-border licensing structures to encourage further provision and take up of legitimate online music services
