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.
