Description
The London Manifesto, launched April 2015,calls for fair copyright that is fit for purpose and will benefit every European citizen. It argues that without fair copyright we will fail to adequately support research, innovation and growth, and hinder the ambition for a digital single market. With it we will better foster knowledge across borders, meet the needs of disabled people and take full advantage of the digital age. The manifesto calls for reforms to:

Improve the rights of disabled people by supporting equal access to knowledge.

Provide libraries with the right to lend digital materials and continue to underpin knowledgeable societies in the digital age.

Allow libraries and archives to better support research through modern data mining techniques.
