On 1 October 2015 the Council adopted the Decision (EU) 2015/2169 on the conclusion of the Free Trade Agreement between the European Union and its Member States, of the one part, and the Republic of Korea, of the other part (‘the Decision’). |
(2) |
The Protocol on Cultural Cooperation (‘the Protocol’) which is annexed to the Free Trade Agreement between the European Union and its Member States, of the one part, and the Republic of Korea, of the other part, sets up in Article 1 the framework within which the Parties cooperate for the facilitation of exchanges regarding cultural activities, goods and services, including in the audiovisual sector. Pursuant to Article 5(3) of the Protocol, the Parties should facilitate co-productions between producers from the EU Party and Korea, including through entitlement for co-productions to benefit from respective schemes for the promotion of local and regional cultural content. |
(3) |
Pursuant to Article 5(8)(b) of the Protocol, following the initial period of 3 years, the entitlement will be renewed for a duration of 3 years and should thereafter be automatically renewed for further successive periods of the same duration, unless a Party terminates the entitlement by giving notice in writing at least 3 months before the expiry of the initial or any subsequent period. |
(4) |
In accordance with Article 3(1) of Decision (EU) 2015/2169, the Commission is to provide notice to Korea of the Union's intention not to extend the period of entitlement to co-production pursuant to Article 5 of the Protocol following the procedure set out in Article 5(8) of the said Protocol unless, on a proposal from the Commission, the Council agrees 4 months before the end of such period of entitlement to continue the entitlement. If the Council agrees to continue the entitlement this provision is to become applicable again at the end of the renewed period of entitlement. For the specific purposes of deciding on the continuation of the period of entitlement, the Council is to act by unanimity. |
(5) |
