Ongoing consultations

This consultation covers the extension of due diligence to online sales and platforms, the lowering of the enhanced vigilance threshold and the recognition of OIMAP checklists as proof of diligence. It asks twelve questions on proportionality for small operators.

Contributions from independent galleries and artists are particularly awaited: they are the most affected by the balance between protection and administrative burden.

Works and artificial intelligence: should works produced with the help of an AI system be protected, and how should this origin be stated in the description and the tokens? Cross-border taxation: how can double taxation of capital gains be avoided and the exchange of information eased?

Fractional tokens: splitting a work into tradable shares raises questions of ownership, governance and investor protection. The consultation probes practices and risks.

The five-yearly revision of the directives is an opportunity to correct the points that have proved difficult and to adapt the framework to new practices. It comes with an assessment of the impact of the 2019 directives, the conclusions of which will be published with the summary of the consultations.

Contributions from the four consultations feed this assessment. States, operators and experts will thus have an overview of the effects achieved and the work still to be done.
