This is the last opportunity for artists who wish to participate in the final distribution for the year 2013 but aren't registered with GVL yet: Up until 31 May 2018 (the date of the postmark shall apply), rights administration agreements will be accepted by GVL for this year.

From mid-February 2018 onwards, GVL will be making its payouts for the first ‘follow-up’ distribution for usage year 2016 The distribution which had originally been announced for 2018 needed to be postponed by a few weeks due to the artist payouts which had to be run simultaneously.

GVL has begun with its final distribution for artists for the years 2010, 2011 and 2012. Right holders for whom we hold complete details and whose remuneration entitlement exceeds EUR 5.00, shall receive their distributions and payouts for said individual years in the coming weeks.

In December 2017, we are going to payout international remuneration that we have received from abroad on top of the planned artists’ final distribution for 2010-2012.

The start of GVL payouts are expected to be made no sooner than at the end of December 2017 and are likely to extend until the second quarter 2018. The artists’ distributions (final distribution for the years 2010-2012, regular distribution for the years 2013-2015 and initial distribution 2016) are likely to extend until the second quarter 2018. Furthermore, the additional payouts for international remuneration we have received from abroad for private copying levies 2008/2009 (ZPÜ monies) are already paid up to an amount of 80% from total.

Under the menu item "gvl proposals" also dubbing actors are now offered suggestions for their contributions which they have not yet reported to the GVL, but which are relevant for distribution.

GVL published its annual report together with the first transparency report for financial year 2016 on 30/08/2017. From now on, GVL’s annual reports include further economic and market-specific details in addition to the obligatory key performance indicators. GVL thus exceeds the statutory transparency requirements in a comprehensive manner.

In the course of this year’s Associates’ and Delegates’ Assembly, GVL has announced record figures for its 2016 collections. In the reporting period, the organisation collected more than EUR 271m on behalf of its members.
