The Copyright (Certification of Licensing Scheme for Educational Recording of Broadcasts) (Educational Recording Agency Limited) (Amendment No. 2) Order 2013

EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Order)

A licensing scheme operated by The Educational Recording Agency Limited (“ERA”) was certified for the purposes of section 35 of, and paragraph 6 of Schedule 2 to, the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 (1988 c.48) (“the Act”) by the Copyright (Certification of Licensing Scheme for Educational Recording of Broadcasts) (Educational Recording Agency Limited) Order 2007 (S.I. 2007/266) (as amended by S.I. 2008/211, S.I. 2009/20, S.I. 2011/159 and S.I. 2013/158) (“the 2007 Order”).

ERA wishes to amend paragraph 8 of the licensing scheme certified in the 2007 Order to include Open University Worldwide Limited as a new licensor Member.

Section 143 of, and paragraph 16 of Schedule 2A to, the Act provides that a variation of a licensing scheme is not effective unless a corresponding amendment of the order certifying the scheme is made.

This Order amends the licensing scheme set out in the Schedule to the 2007 Order to correspond with the variation to the scheme which ERA wishes to make (effective from 1st October 2013).

A regulatory impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no impact on the private or voluntary sectors is foreseen.
