European Booksellers Cheer as Digital Market Talks on Ebooks and
Geo-Blocking

'The Specific Nature of the Sector'
When /Publishing Perspectives/ readers last were updated on the
"geo-blocking" controversy for publishers and booksellers in Europe's
Digital Single Market developments and the draft law
<http://www.europarl.europa.eu/news/en/press-room/20170425IPR72324/e-commerce-ending-unjustified-geo-blocking-across-the-eu>
under discussion, the European & International Booksellers Federation
<http://www.europeanbooksellers.eu/> (EIBF) had raised the alarm.
In our June interview
<https://publishingperspectives.com/2017/06/europe-geo-blocking-booksellers-debate/>
with Dr. Jessica Sänger
<https://de.linkedin.com/in/dr-jessica-s%C3%A4nger-b3466a1>, legal
counsel and director of European and international affairs with the
Börsenverein des Deutschen Buchhandels
<http://www.boersenverein.de/de/portal/index.html>, Germany's Publishers
and Booksellers Association, she explained why the EIBF opposed the
legislation that would end geo-blocking of online sales inside the EU.
Sänger said the draft law could force booksellers to sell ebooks to
users in all EU countries, and that requirement to serve the EU's wide
range of taxation levels, fixed prices, and other constraints would be
too costly for many booksellers to bear.
EIBF now, however, has issued a statement, headlined "EIBF Rejoices at
the Result of the Second Trilogue," referring to discussions that have
now excluded ebook sales---and that of other copyrighted creative
content---from the legislation to end geo-blocking.
In its statement to the press, EIBF's administration says that it "notes
with great satisfaction that the negotiations held between the European
Parliament, the European Commission, and the Council (trilogue) about
the geo-blocking regulation were positive. The proposal agreed yesterday
[November 20], and tabled by the Estonian presidency leaves
copyright-protected material, including ebooks, out of the scope of the
regulation and proposes a review clause of two years"---and in
actuality, the organization notes, this will put the review near the end
of 2020 or early in 2021.
"The inclusion of copyright-protected content has been one of the most
contentious elements of the proposal, and a source of major concern for
the book industry. This is a great day for our organization as well as
for all the other stakeholders of the cultural and creative sector with
whom we have worked in close partnership. This second step in the
decisional process rewards months of advocacy and confirms that the
European Institutions recognize that the ebook market is a nascent one,
at least at the present time."
Sänger, speaking from the Börsenverein, is careful to place a note of
caution in her response, telling /Publishing Perspectives/, "It's very
important to us that a proper impact assessment is to be undertaken
before traders are potentially compelled to make their Web shops capable
of selling ebooks to every member State" in the European Union.
"We trust that the European Commission will take the specific nature of
the sector into account.
"Booksellers are eager to sell as many books as possible to readers
anywhere. Due to natural linguistic borders, however, cross-border sales
volumes are generally quite low, and investments in the necessary
capabilities need to be recouped."
And EIBF's co presidents, Fabian Paagman and Jean-Luc Treutenaere, are
quoted by Brussels in a prepared statement, saying, "Booksellers need
time to adapt to the nascent and uncertain ebook market and to see some
crucial issues sorted out by the European institutions.
"In a nascent market--the profitability of which still has to be
demonstrated--forcing traders to offer ebooks across borders at this
point in time would, in the end, be detrimental to European consumers:
many SMEs [small and medium-sized enterprises] could be forced to exit
the ebook market, and far from opening up the single market to
consumers, this would be highly detrimental to cultural diversity and
consumer choice in the EU, and only beneficial to major non-European
international platforms."
It's expected that the text will be adcopted by the European Parliament
for a vote by the council, relatively early in 2018.
