It should be ensured that the producers provide the data with unique identifiers and that the broadcasters should then pass them on to GVL accordingly. Such direct access for GVL to the required contribution and production details would make a significant contribution to improve the quality of the data received by GVL, among others, and to ensure a valid data collection of the collective management organisations in the long term.

SCAPR is the international umbrella organisation of the collective management organisations for performing artists. It was founded in 1986 and is a non-profit-organisation with headquarters in Brussels. It acts as an international platform for the development of the operative collaboration between the collective management organisations for performing artists. It represents 58 societies from 42 countries. 

Dr. Tilo Gerlach and Guido Evers, Managing Directors of GVL: "We are pleased to welcome Oliver Ewy to our core committee, the GuDV [Assembly of Shareholders and Delegates]. We have already significantly expanded the dialogue with the actors and actresses in the past months.

From 20 outstanding albums, the jury of the Scottish Album of the Year (SAY) Awards will select their 10 favourites in a first step. The eleven-member jury will meet for the first time next week. Two weeks later, the jury will nominate the winner, which will also be influenced by the results of a three-day online vote by music fans worldwide.

Due to additional subsequent notifications and further allocation of broadcast reports, also by way of the claims for open usages which many producers have submitted, we were able to continue to increase the distribution quotas of the years 2016 to 2018 and for the years 2016 and 2017 to more than 90%.

Furthermore, we achieved an overall distribution quota of 81 percent for usage year 2019, not least due to a significant share of better-quality broadcast data based on fingerprinting.

In this context, there are deadlines and new processes that you need to observe, since they are supported by the producer portal label.gvl.

In the course of the online seminar, Dirk Löwenberg (Responsible for the rights holder service for producers and event organisers) is going to provide information regarding the most important deadlines and procedures linked to the scheduled final distribution for 2016 to the producers of sound recordings.

Afterwards, there will be sufficient time for individual questions.
