answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/11/2018 answer text <p>No such assessment has been made to date. This is because rights holders tend to use collective management organisation (CMOs) to collect and distribute royalties earned in other EU countries. UK and EU CMOs enter into reciprocal agreements with each other to do this. These are private commercial agreements between the parties which we would expect to continue after the UK has exited the Digital Single Market.</p> answering member constituency East Surrey answering member printed Mr Sam Gyimah question first answered 14/11/2018 18:00:14 answering member 3980 label Biography information for Mr Sam Gyimah
