In the introduction to my presentation, I told you that we had discovered exceptions introduced in 2012 that hurt and reduced our income. This income was fixed either by an administrative tribunal whose function is to assign an economic value to a right, or during free negotiations.
In fact, I'm not commenting on the decisions of each of the sectors that the coalition represents, namely whether they favour any funding or compensation. I reserve this right on behalf of my members.
However, my mandate today is to tell you that there are too many exceptions, that they are too broad and that it is impossible to rely on market forces to determine a solution comparable to what is happening elsewhere in the world.
We said that these companies were the big guys of this world, but these big guys have the world as their playground for negotiation. We realize that this world often asks us how it is that we couldn't get more and that they, they have this or that, private copying in audiovisual, for example. But the answer is very simple: our legislation doesn't allow it.
There are some loopholes somewhere and there is room for interpretation.
I apologize to the interpreters for my Franglais.
