Projet de loi ratifiant l’ordonnance n° 2021-137 du 10 février 2021 modifiant 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 formally approve (ratify) a February 2021 government order that amended an earlier December 2020 order. Those orders created exceptional financial aid for authors and holders of neighbouring rights whose income was hit by the COVID-19 pandemic. The bill also covers the financial terms for ending certain contracts in the culture and sport sectors. Ratification gives the government's order the force of law passed by Parliament. This summary is based on the title and metadata only, not the full legislative text. The measures apply to authors, performers and other rights holders in the culture sector, as well as to certain contracts in the culture and sport sectors affected by the pandemic. Businesses and organisations that contract with them may also be affected by the rules on ending those contracts.
