French Intellectual Property Code
In forceWhen an exploitation authorisation is granted, the user is obliged to communicate to the collective management organisation, in a format and within a time limit agreed between the parties or pre-established, the relevant information on the use he has made of the rights, so that the organisation is in a position to ensure the collection and distribution of the revenues deriving from the exploitation of those rights.
In defining the format in which this information is to be communicated, organisations and users shall, as far as possible, take into account voluntary industry standards, in particular standard identifiers for works and other protected subject matter. In the absence of agreement between the parties within a reasonable period of time, this information will be that defined by an order of the minister responsible for culture for the sector of activity concerned.
