Projet de loi ratifiant l’ordonnance n° 2020-1599 du 16 décembre 2020 relative aux aides exceptionnelles à destination des auteurs et titulaires de droits voisins touchés par les conséquences économiques, financières et sociales de la propagation du virus covid-19 et aux conditions financières de résolution de certains contrats dans les secteurs de la culture et du sport

This French bill would make permanent a December 2020 government ordinance that created exceptional financial aid for authors and holders of neighbouring rights hit by the COVID-19 pandemic. It also sets out financial terms for ending certain contracts in the culture and sport sectors. Ratification means Parliament approves the ordinance, which gives it full legal force as a law. This summary is based on metadata only, not the full legislative text. The measures apply to authors, performers, producers and other neighbouring rights holders in France whose income was affected by the pandemic. Organisations and individuals in the culture and sport sectors whose contracts were ended or changed are also covered by the financial terms.
