I move amendment No. 5:

In page 16, line 18, after “given in” to insert “an educational institution or in”.

The provisions in this section of the Bill seem to have been narrowed to libraries and archives. I thought it was a good idea to extend the section to include educational institutions to make it perfectly clear and specific that they were involved and considered by the Bill.

Amendment No. 8 refers to a prescribed library or archive also exempting things given during a public lecture in an educational institution undertaken for the sole purpose of education and so on, accompanied by a sufficient acknowledgement that, once the criteria are satisfied, such use shall constitute fair dealing and be exempt from the restrictions under the law. The final part of amendment No. 8 defines fair dealing as including the making use of a performance or recording which has been made lawfully available to the public for a purpose and to an extent which shall not unreasonably prejudice the interests of the rights owner.
