Every year FEP organises its annual Rendez-Vous on the occasion of the Frankfurt Book Fair. This year, on October 10th 2013, Maria Martin Prat, head of unit of the Copyright Unit of the European Commission, was the guest speaker of the FEP annual Rendez-vous of the Frankfurt Book Fair. She spoke over an hour on the Commission’s priorities in reviewing the copyright acquis and how publishers fit in this debate.
