From November 21 to December 2, 2011, a delegation of CEIPI participated in work of the twenty-third session of the Standing Committee on Copyright and Related Rights (SCCR) of the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO).
Christophe Geiger, Director General of CEIPI, made a statement welcoming the progress made by the SCCR on the issue of limitations and exceptions. He endorsed further work towards establishment of an appropriate international framework on limitations and exceptions for the benefit of visually impaired persons with print disabilities as well as for libraries and archives. While acknowledging the achievements made, he stressed that for the purpose of attaining the desired balance between all interests involved, a flexible international framework on limitations and exceptions should be established.
