The Artist’s Resale Right (Amendment) Regulations 2009


Regulation 2 amends regulation 17 of the 2006 Regulations which exercised the option under Article 8(2) of the Directive available to member States such as the United Kingdom which did not have resale right at the date of entry into force of the Directive (13th October 2001). In accordance with that option, those to whom a resale right is transmitted (or deemed to be transmitted) after the death of the artist may not exercise the right until 1st January 2010. Article 8(3) of the Directive permits a member State that has exercised the option in Article 8(2) to have up to two more years before it is required to apply the resale right for the benefit of those entitled under the artist after his or her death, if necessary to enable the economic operators in that member State to adapt gradually to the resale right system while maintaining their economic viability. Article 8(3) requires a member State exercising this further option to inform the EU Commission before 1st January 2010 and give its reasons so that the EU Commission can give an opinion, after appropriate consultations, within three months following the receipt of the information from the member State. The United Kingdom informed the EU Commission on 18th December 2008 that it intended to exercise the derogation in article 8(3) of the Directive. No opinion has been received from the EU Commission.
