The deadline for a remuneration agreement between Google and French news publishers is imminent, based on an April ruling from the French Autorité de la Concurrence. The due date is set for three months from the time the authority made the ruling, which marks a potentially significant turn in the relationship between Google and EU publishers, and will fall roughly a year after the EU adopted tough new copyright reforms and roughly six months after France’s July transposition of the EU’s “neighbouring rights” law into its own.
