European Publishers Seek Specific Exemptions From Deforestation Rules

13 May 2025
Topic — This consultation updates the categories of products subject to EU deforestation regulation requirements.
Message — The federation requests excluding book collection boxes and cardboard marketing displays from the regulation. They also want returned unsold books exempted to avoid redundant and burdensome due diligence requirements. Finally, they advocate for a sectoral dialogue to address industry-specific manufacturing and import complexities.123
Why — These changes would reduce administrative burdens and prevent major disruptions to book supply chains.4
Impact — Environmental monitoring transparency suffers if certain wood-based packaging and displays avoid strict tracking.5

Response to A Culture Compass for Europe

12 May 2025

Culture is an integral part of the European values that we cherish so much. As many legislations approuved at EU level have a definite impact on cultural sectors, in particular the publishing industry where Europe is a world leader, we need a cultural test for every legislation aiming at establishing whether or not that legislation has an impact on our sectors and if such an impact exists to involve DG EAC in the evaluation. We need also proper funding to support innovation and broad diffusion of our literature, in the broadest sense, in Europe and beyond.

Response to Interim evaluation of the European Education Area

15 Sept 2023

The Federation of European Publishers (FEP) welcomes the opportunity to provide feedback for the interim evaluation of the EEA. FEP is an umbrella organisation representing 29 national associations of publishers of books, learned journals and educational materials from 28 European countries. Educational and academic publishing are key components of the book industry and publishers fulfil an essential role for education at all levels. Education helps all students to reach their potential, gain the skills needed to face challenges and think critically as productive members of society. For educational publishers, the mission is to provide the learning resources that teachers need to best implement curricula in ways that will lead to better learning outcomes. Publishers are enablers of pedagogy. They use technology extensively, with the awareness that technology is a means to an end. We believe in the continued relevance of the strategic priorities and focus topics of the EEA; the core values of educational publishers set the perfect framework conditions with their focus on choice, collaboration and local solutions. Teachers, schools and higher education institutions should be empowered to choose from a range of resources and select the best suited to their classrooms needs. We believe in open markets, where publishers can compete to deliver innovative, reliable, high-quality, culturally diverse content. We support teachers in implementing local curricula, including at regional level and in different official languages where appropriate. Professionally produced printed and digital learning content and digital platforms drive engagement and inspiration among students and teachers enabling the best learning outcomes. To educate successfully, curriculum and outcome guidance by governments is developed into teaching and learning solutions by publishers working with researchers, teachers and authors. Collaboration between government, teachers and publishers is vital in for an effective education. In order to improve quality, equity, inclusion, we believe in public policies that: involve publishers from the outset as major partners and stakeholders in the educational ecosystem; provide appropriate funding for investment in quality content and digital infrastructure, with common standards (including those already developed by our sector) and interoperability; safeguard a level playing field for provision and access to learning resources, data management, operational standards; enhance open competition in the market, which stimulates choice and diversity; foster innovation; respect copyright and the freedom to publish. We advocate for Public-Private Partnerships to drive collaboration with educational and academic publishers; for the responsible use of data by all players, security and privacy for users. We call for funding policies that enable progressive market solutions providing teachers and students with comprehensive, resilient learning resources, which evolve and adapt through experience; and an investment strategy for the acquisition of professionally curated content, not just of platforms, tools, and services. Investing in professionally produced education materials can also help decrease the share of underachievers and increase equality among students. We support the ethical use of AI in education. The EEA strategic framework was put in place to structure collaboration between the EU Member States and key stakeholders to achieve their collective vision. We believe that more can be done by the EU Institutions and the MS to make this collaboration a reality by engaging with educational publishers beginning with the explicit acknowledgement of their role as key stakeholders for education in policy plans and strategic documents. Publishers stand ready to keep fulfilling their role of key enablers of quality education and learning outcomes, to dialogue openly with the EU and collaborate with all institutions and stakeholders.

Response to European Statistical System – making it fit for the future

22 Feb 2022

The Federation of European Publishers is glad of the opportunity to provide feedback on the subject of the European Statistical System. The work done on the European statistics is of the highest value for many stakeholders, including us. One of our missions is to collect data on the book publishing sector in Europe and we would highly appreciate to rely on the ESS - we consult EUROSTAT databases regularly. We would like therefore to suggest for the ESS to take a more active role in collecting data about the cultural and creative industries. Cultural statistics are a very valuable feature of EUROSTAT's publications, but they are prodced at irregular intervals and often offer partial coverage. Cultural statistics should be strengthened, including with regard to digital aspects of cultural production and consumption. Just looking at the book sector, more surveys about reading habits should be carried out. Establishing satellite accounts for the creative indiustries could be a solution. Moreover, in a spirit of collaboration between companies and governments, certain businesses, especially large internet platforms, should be incentivised or compelled somehow to share data regarding sales of digital cultural products. Finally, a review of the system of attribution of data through the NACE codes, such as is the case with Structural Business Statistics, is likely necessary. It is possible that assigning just one code to a company does not capture a frequent phenomenon, that is, the fact that often companies operate in different domains, pertaining to more than one NACE code.

Response to Review of the general product safety directive

4 Oct 2021

The Federation of European Publishers welcomes the possibility to provide feedback regarding the proposed review of the General Product Safety Regulation. FEP and its members have at heart the safety of citizens all over Europe, and publishers’ utmost care goes into ensuring that their products do not present any hazard for readers. With this in mind, we would like to point out that the proposed regulation introduces new, strict obligations for economic operators, some of which are likely to have a significant negative impact on businesses, due to an increase in administrative and financial burdens, that will create difficulties, especially to SMEs. The need for a risk-based approach The current approach whereby the legislation would apply to all products that are not subject to a specific regulation, without any distinction between product types and without an assessment linked to the nature of a product and its ordinary use, risks being excessively penalising for some sectors, notably those characterised by simple production processes and intrinsically safe products. This is the case of printed books and periodicals (bearing in mind that children’s books, where appropriate, are already subject to specific regulation that ensures the necessary additional safety requirements are met). Currently, producers are required to ensure that a product is safe on the basis of any applicable national or European standards. “Where such risks are not immediately obvious without adequate warnings”, they must provide consumers with relevant safety information through “measures commensurate with the characteristics of the products which they supply” such as displaying their contact details on the product; and, when appropriate, carry out sample testing and keep a register of complaints on a voluntary basis. They are also required to alert the authorities in the event of any safety issues. As a matter of fact, most books do not constitute products potentially generating risks which would not be obvious without adequate warnings, and which would require measures which would not be disproportionate with respect to their innate characteristics. Under the Commission’s proposal, the obligations considered no longer refer to the risks related to each product, nor to commensurate measures, and may therefore have disproportionate effects, in particular for the book industry. Every manufacturer would have to, among other requirements, draw up technical documentation (including an analysis of the possible risks related to the product and any applicable European standards); put a type, batch or serial number on the product, for identification; gather and keep the technical documentation at the disposal of the authorities for 10 years; and periodically carry out sample testing. These onerous obligations would constitute a significant increase in the burden for book and journal publishers, which are for the majority SMEs and often outsource the manufacturing of books. Most importantly, the new requirements would come at no benefit for the consumers, given the intrinsically safe nature of printed materials such as books and periodicals. All the more, as specific legislation already covers safety aspects related to particular elements, such as hazards linked to chemicals or electronics. A crucial issue with the proposed regulation is that it would impose similar regulatory requirements on products involving minimal (if any) safety risks, such as printed materials, as those that apply to products with significant risks, without distinguishing based on the level of risk. For these reasons, the proposal may well fail to respect the EU principle of proportionality. We therefore strongly recommend taking a more proportionate, risk-based approach to the review of the General Product Safety Regulation, and thus identifying a series of product categories to which the additional obligations should not apply, such as printed books and periodicals.

Response to Consumer Credit Agreement – review of EU rules

2 Sept 2021

The Federation of European Publishers welcomes the opportunity to provide its views to the European Commission regarding the proposal for a review of the Directive on consumer credits. The review aims, among other elements, to remove the exemption from the scope of the current rules with regard to: Consumer credit agreements below the amount of EUR 200; Credit agreements where the credit is granted free of interest and without any other charges; Credit agreements under the terms of which the credit has to be repaid within three months and only insignificant charges are payable. The credit sales of books, a longstanding form of enabling consumers to purchase books, still relevant in a number of countries, would mostly fall under these cases. We consider that such an extension of the scope of the Directive would entail an excessive and unnecessary increase in the administrative burden for economic operators, thus leading to a decrease in sales of books. We therefore think that the three cases in question should remain outside of the scope of these rules. Publishers offering their products online or offline are not financial institutions, but companies carrying out a commercial sales activity. The offer of deferred payment facilities is a way to promote sales at conditions favourable to consumers and not a means of pursuing financial gains – which is why this usually involves no interest or minimal charges. The possibility should not be denied to entities that are not financial institutions; however, imposing the formal requirements of a loan to sales transactions with deferred payment – especially when not financed by a third party – would mean introducing a disproportionate level of complexity, given that the burden associated with the financing would become much bigger than that related to the main transaction. Companies in our sector only offer options like instalment payments because evidence shows that they are a valuable means for consumers to access books, making some works, especially those consisting in multiple items (thematic collections, encyclopaedias, and the like) more easily affordable. These options are thus ultimately a way to increase the circulation of books and culture. The decrease in book offers would be detrimental for all society, and in this case particularly for lower income households, those who can benefit the most from interest-free deferred payments. In addition, this greater complexity for publishers would come without a tangible increase in the protection afforded to consumers. The deferred payment facilities offered by publishers allow consumers to purchase books in convenient instalments, in full transparency with regard to the value of each instalment and the number of instalments to be paid. Moreover, readers are further protected by consumer protection rules, especially in the case of online and distance sales. Besides, interest-free credit can in no way lead to over-indebtedness on the part of the consumer, given the low amounts involved by definition in such transactions as the ones we are focusing on. Altogether, therefore, the Federation of European Publishers estimates that the proposed Directive, in extending the scope of the rules on consumer credits to the abovementioned cases, thus encompassing certain commercial activities by publishers, will not increase consumer protection but will lead instead to a decrease in sales promotions – and ultimately result in a reduced circulation of books – due to the greater administrative burden imposed on businesses.

Response to Standardisation Strategy

22 Jul 2021

The Federation of European Publishers, representing 29 national associations of publishers of books, learned journals and educational materials, welcomes the possiblity to provide feedback on the standardisation strategy roadmap. First and foremost, we recommend taking into account the role of educational publishers in the provision of materials ans services for digital learning, and therefore including publishers in the list of key stakeholders in the framework of the targeted consultations foreseen by the roadmap. In addition, we recommend taking into account established industry practices when looking into any standardisation processes and ensuring that any initiatives do not stifle competition and innovation in the sector.

Response to Digital Levy

11 Feb 2021

The Federation of European Publishers welcomes the opportunity to provide feedback on the roadmap on a digital levy. We fully support the Commission's to design a modern, stable regulatory and tax framework to appropriately address the developments and challenges of the digital economy. We concur with the identification of the problem at hand, namely that certain digital businesses can benefit from scale without mass and do not necessarily pay corporate taxes in all jurisdictions where they have a significant economic presence, and that they are able to shift profits to certain jurisdictions more easily and thus pay less tax compared to more traditional businesses. It is also true that large digital companies exploit network effects and acquire dominant positions, thus worsening market inefficiencies. We therefore look forward to a measure that allows for a fairer contribution from the companies that operate in the digital sphere for the purposes of the recovery and to support a more stable medium-term outlook, as stated in the roadmap. It is imperative to re-establish a level playing field also in the domain of taxation for all companies operating on the European market. Digital businesses, in particular internet giants (search engines, social media, online marketplaces, and the like), which create large revenues by monetising users' data and user-generated content, which generate revenues in certain jurisdictions but operate in others, need to be made to pay a fair share of taxes in the places where they actually extract value.

Response to Intellectual Property Action Plan

24 Jul 2020

FEP welcomes an Intellectual Property action plan, especially since IPR-intensive industries, such as publishers, make a significant contribution to the European economy and are essential to citizens, as shown during the confinement where citizens relied heavily on the use of copyright-protected works, whether for their entertainment or for their education. 1) FEP subscribes to the objective of a swift and faithful implementation of the Copyright Directive in (Directive 790/2019). Exceptions in particular have been carefully crafted by the legislators to respect a balance between all stakeholders and should not be further intrepreted. 2) Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a technology that should be used without prejudice to the necessary protection of IPRs, including the exclusive rights that publishers acquire from their authors. The Copyright Directive provides a clear and balanced legal framework for the use of protected works in text and data mining (TDM) processes, which are essential in AI system. It provided an exception for the use of works in TDM processes made for non-research purposes, under the strict condition that the user had a lawful access to the work and that its rightholder did not reserve the rights to such a use. The transposition of this exception and its conditions is therefore essential. The IP status of AI output and particularly the attribution of the rights attached to their potential IP protection should be carefully examined and its impact assessed, before proposing any new specific rules. For instance, attributing the rights to the creator of the AI might unfairly benefit big technological, and often non-European, companies and deprive actual creators from the rights on works they created through AI. 3) Piracy remains a significant problem for rightholders, and even more so in the context of the Covid crisis as the confinement lead to an increase in piracy (in Spain for instance, recorded piracy has more than tripled) and was used as a cynical excuse to illegally give access to copyright-protected works (for instance the illegal “National Emergency Library” initiative in the US that covered EU works and was accessible in the EU). The impact of the recent CJEU ruling Constantin Film v Youtube (Case C-264/19), should be assessed as most online services do not require the physical address of their users, nor do they verify it, thus weakening the ability of rightholders to protect effectively their IP online and facilitating pirate activities. In light of this, the Commission should therefore assess how to provide rightholders with the tools, fit for the digital age, to be able to effectively enforce their rights. 4) FEP welcomes the objective of strengthening the responsibilities of online platforms as part of the Digital Services Act. The core principles of the E-Commerce Directive should be maintained, particularly the limited liability applicable to purely passive and the related ban on general monitoring. However, complementary solutions should be provided for tackling effectively illegal content online, as existing solutions are less sustainable due to the constant reupload of previously notified illegal content. Therefore, the Commission should upgrade the current mechanisms to effectively combat illegal content, such as “stay-down” obligations, and upgrade liability rules for online services in a way that reflects the place that digital services have taken in the citizens’ everyday life as well as the CJEU jurisprudence. 5) The European publishing sector is strongly export-oriented: around one fifth of its turnover comes from exports. Global fair play and a balanced IP framework in third countries are therefore essential. Technical cooperation and dialogue with the developing world are important to assist them, whenever necessary, in ensuring that their national IP framework is in line with the relevant international treaties and does not unfairly deprive European rightholders of their rights.

Response to Digital Education Action Plan

26 Jun 2020

The Federation of European Publishers (FEP) is glad of the opportunity to comment on the roadmap for the update of the Digital Education Action Plan, as a preliminary set of remarks also relevant in preparation for the consultation on the same topic open in parallel. FEP represents 29 national associations of publishers of books, learned journals and educational materials. It is our firm belief that educational publishers should be considered as primary stakeholders in any policy reflection around education, especially with regard to competences and educational materials. The role of publishers is to provide quality educational materials, fit for the different national curricula, in the formats required by teachers and students. Publishers fulfil this role in a competitive environment, investing their resources and taking risks, while ensuring the remuneration of authors and other contributors. Educational publishers have embraced the digital transformation of education by providing not only innovative digital learning materials and management systems, but also training opportunities for teachers. They are a key component of the trusted digital ecosystem of education content and tools that the Plan is meant to foster. The response of educational publishers to the COVID-19 crisis all over Europe is a further testament to their crucial role in the new EU framework for digital education. In targeting the private sector among the relevant stakeholders for the Plan, we believe the Commission should recognise in full the role and contribution of publishers.

Response to Multiannual Financial Framework: Creative Europe programme for the period 2021-2027

5 Jul 2018

The Federation of European Publishers welcomes the proposal for the Creative Europe programme 2021-2027. We are very glad about the proposed budget increase; given the relevance of the cultural and creative sector in Europe, we think an even bigger allocation would have been warranted. We are particularly pleased about the introduction of a dedicated thematic strand for the book and publishing sector, which is the largest cultural industry in Europe and a world leader. We would like to advocate for the maintaining and strengthening of the literary translation support programme. We would also call for intensifying efforts to successfully implement the Financial Guarantee Facility, retaining its focus on the creative industries. Publishers, just like many other cultural entrepreneurs, can greatly benefit from facilitated access to finance. Unfortunately, there is still a lot of reticence on behalf of financial institutions to sign up for the FGF.

Response to The New European Agenda for Culture

17 Apr 2018

On behalf of the Federation of European Publishers (FEP), we would like to comment on the Roadmap on the New European Agenda for Culture. European publishers are world leaders (7 out of 10 of the largest publishing groups are European) and we very much hope that the New European Agenda for Culture will reflect the interests of all the stakeholders of the book world, including publishers. In terms of consultations of the cultural sectors such as publishing, we would recommend a stronger and broader structured dialogue with all stakeholders such as FEP. We recommend that if smaller groups are consulted, their findings/results, before being submitted to the institutions, be endorsed by a larger group. We have already made similar remarks during the previous consultation. In terms of key topics for new or enhanced cooperation, - for digitisation, we would recommend to study the behaviours of readers/listeners/viewers to better adopt fair policies, - for mobility of cultural professionals, this should also apply to professionals of the book world: authors and their translators, publishers, booksellers, - for financing the cultural industries, we believe that SMEs publishers could benefit from supportive measures such as to be able to benefit from the Creative Europe Guarantee Facility or support to attend fairs or training sessions. In terms of concrete actions, we would very much hope that the future programme could in addition to a pilot action on the mobility of artists, have a similar action for book professionals, helping SMEs publishers to promote the works they publish (often translations of EU works) to promote their books at foreign book fairs and be better trained to new technologies. When you will be addressing the Creative Europe Guarantee Facility, we call on you to make sure that SME publishers that need to finance innovative projects through bank loans, can benefit from that Facility. In terms of new sector-specific actions, while we command the call for more support for literary translation, we want to reiterate our call for a sectorial approach for the book world: having an identifiable strand for the book world, would support the European needs of our sector through better promotion of European books inside Europe and beyond, increased training for our professionals and networking across Europe. We stand ready to follow-up with this conversation with the services of the Commission.
