Paris (AFP) – Google and Agence France-Presse announced on Wednesday the signing of a “revolutionary” five-year contract under which the world`s largest internet search company will pay an undisclosed sum for content in Europe. But negotiations have not always been easy and there is still a long way to go. To address this, the EU directive created the form of copyright, called related rights, which would allow outlets to claim compensation for the use of their content.
In France and Denmark, media conglomerates have joined forces to negotiate with tech giants, while in Spain, Google announced on November 3 that it would reopen its Google News service in early 2022. The AFMS manages two major program-wide contractual efforts to support the Department of Justice`s operations, the Asset Forfeiture Program. The Administrative Support Services for Confiscation of Property (AFASS) contract provides assistance in the seizure, processing, management and sale of assets. The Forfeiture Investigation Support Services (SSIA) contract program has multiple vendors and provides financial investigation expertise to identify valuable assets to be seized and confiscated.

Global tech giants – mostly American – have had a variety of disputes with Brussels and EU member states over taxation, abuse of their dominant market power, privacy issues and making money from journalistic content without sharing revenue. The Intellectual Property Code stipulates that media outlets and publishers can demand payment for the reuse of their journalistic content by search engines such as Google or platforms such as Facebook.
The law dates back to a European directive issued in April 2019, which France was the first to implement. “We fought hard to ensure that agencies were fully eligible for related rights. The difference with a business partnership is that an agreement on related rights is supposed to be sustainable,” the AFP CEO said. Google and AFP have also announced plans to launch a fact-checking and disinformation project as part of the deal. AFP produces and distributes multimedia content to its customers in six languages around the world. “The conditions we have put in place will allow Facebook to enforce the directive and French law while generating significant funds for the publishers of the alliance, especially the smallest,” said Pierre Louette, president of APIG.
