On April 10, 2010, at the headquarters of OffLimits, Fleet Street 11, Madrid, held the second meeting of the PECA. Below is the content and arrangements.
The meeting began with a round during which each attendee presented to its bank and reported on the preparation of documents for your industry: "Current Status" and "Proposals."
Writing sector Scripture is almost complete and have added a section on digital rights. Have drawn up a "Custom Works Contrado (absent figure in the LPI), which recognizes the profession as a writer and is a step forward.
was held a meeting of dance associations and all indications are that it will be possible to create a new federation. Have to work on documents.
The field of arts already have text but has yet to be discussed in the bodies and OSAAEE AADPC.
The music sector coincides with the problems of the other creators. Have solved the issue of Social Security through cooperatives. The charges of the proceedings were delayed a lot (up to one year). The initial document is valid even tried a more clear in the field of copyright in the digital environment.
The situation is similar set designers to art directors (in cinemas) and both have to cede their copyright. Choreographers and directors of opera as well. Have to work, especially, the problem of copyright.
The situation illustrators is very similar to the visual arts with the exception of the VAT which they can not deduct. There is no specific tax item, the other sectors agree on this, and in copyright may not be trying to reform (the current LPI) as it is applied. Unauthorized reproduction of the work is systematic and very difficult to control. Less than 30% of the illustrators can live solely on their work and qualifications are not recognized. Two documents have been developed and are already uploaded to the blog of the PECA.
associations circus are still being set up. However, the current wording of the document on their status is correct. For them the most important is the occupational hazards.
The problem of audio-visual writers is very similar to writing (taxation, social security rights). We need a clear definition of its profile and recognition of their rights as author / creator (often in the shade).
The document on the situation in the visual arts and proposals have just been delivered by UAAV legal services and are now housed in the blog of the PECA. However, the associations and the General Assembly may discuss and approve at the next meeting on 14 May. The problem is very similar to that of other independent creators.
It wants to expand a section on equal opportunities between genders and especially for mothers of the artist or creator and their impact on career (very competitive). Pilar Casas supported this issue.
then opened a debate on the issues specific to certain sectors and the other on common ground. There is general agreement on the importance of copyright (other than intellectual property. The work of the parliamentary subcommittee for the reform of the LPI have been completed and in the hearings only heard management entities. They have a focused interest in the management while the focus of professional associations is broader. The industry, meanwhile, want to move to the USA model where the producer is the sole holder of rights.
debate diatribe is "autonomous" or "employees."
There is agreement on the need to define and recognize professional profiles or sections. Finally
updating the list of topics that should include the working documents for each sector and that is:
- Social Security (high and low, fees, contributions, benefits). Maternity (benefits and professional impact).
- Tax Treatment (indirect-tax-direct-income tax and others).
- Copyright and Intellectual Property.
- Training (Occupational, continuous and regulated).
- Transitions professionals.
