EU-Gerichtshof: Mündliche Verhandlung in der Rechtssache C-516/17 Spiegel Online - Umfang des urheberrechtlichen Zitatrechts der Presse

Ein Bundestagsabgeordneter hat die Spiegel Online GmbH vor deutschen Gerichten auf Unterlassung und Schadensersatz verklagt, nachdem diese in einem Pressebericht auf ihrem Internetportal Links zu ein von ihm verfassten Manuskript, in dem er sich zum Sexualstrafrecht geäußert hatte, sowie dem 1988 als Buchbeitrag erschienen Text gesetzt hatte. In dem Pressebericht vertrat die Autorin die Ansicht, der Bundestagsabgeordnete habe die Öffentlichkeit jahrelang hinters Licht geführt. Die Originaldokumente belegten, dass das Manuskript nahezu identisch mit dem Buchbeitrag und die zentrale Aussage des Bundestagsabgeordneten keineswegs im Sinn verfälscht worden sei. Der Bundestagsabgeordnete sieht in der Veröffentlichung der Texte eine Verletzung seines Urheberrechts. Der Bundesgerichtshof hat dem EuGH in diesem Zusammenhang eine Reihe von Fragen zum Umfang des urheberrechtlichen Zitatrechts vorgelegt (siehe auch Pressemitteilung des BGH Nr. 124/17). Heute findet die mündliche Verhandlung vor der Großen Kammer des EuGH statt.

EU auditors scrutinize EU Commission's annual 24.5m € support to NBC affiliate Euronews

EU support helps Euronews to broaden its coverage of European affairs, but funding needs to be better monitored, say EU Auditors.


The EU’s support of an average of €24.5 million a year has helped Euronews to develop a unique business model and broadcast programmes on EU affairs in a number of languages, according to a new rapid case review by the European Court of Auditors. However, most citizens in the EU are unable to access it, as the channel is not a public service broadcaster in any Member State. Moreover, the auditors identified shortcomings in the way the European Commission monitors the performance of Euronews against agreed objectives and commitments made. Euronews was created in 1993 by ten European public broadcasters to reinforce European identity and integration, and the EU has provided it with financial support since then. In recent years, it has changed its ownership structure by acquiring private investors. The auditors analysed the funding of …
