European CMO GESAC has issued a statement in support of recent legislation in Europe to address ‘coercive buyout practices.’ Recently the Culture and Employment Committees of the European Parliament adopted a report with legislative recommendations on working conditions for artists in the EU. “The growing problem of buy-out contracts that prevents authors and composers’ fair remuneration and threatens their livelihood is rightly flagged as one of the main issues to be addressed at EU level,” GESAC says in support of the report.
