I agree on this point. With Brexit especially, it does not make sense to have any input from a UK organisation and RAAP has historically done that. As it said in its contributions to this committee, it has never had complaints about the way it collects on behalf of artists. We should leave it in the hands of professionals so to speak.

I also agree putting it through the courts system is unwieldy and costly. It remains an option but I do not think it should be the first recourse.
