I move amendment No. 21:

In page 71, between lines 23 and 24, to insert the following: "(3) Section 481 of the Principal Act is amended in subsection (2)(b), by the insertion of the following subparagraph after subparagraph (iv):

"(v) a condition that the qualifying company shall, in respect of the qualifying film concerned, comply fully with the Copyright and Related Rights Act 2000 and the Directive (EU) 2019/790 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 April 2019,

(vi) a condition that the qualifying company shall make every effort to ensure that performers, writers, composers, artists and other film workers resident within the jurisdiction will not be subject to lesser terms and conditions regarding their intellectual property rights than persons resident outside the jurisdiction engaged in similar roles when employed on the same qualifying film, and

(vii) a condition that the qualifying company shall not require performers, writers, composers, artists or other film workers to sign away their rights to future residual payments for their work on a qualifying film, or to agree to a so-called ‘buy-out’ contract, as a pre-condition of working on the qualifying film.".".
