Abstract
This in-depth analysis, commissioned by the European Parliament’s Policy
Department for Citizens’ Rights and Constitutional Affairs at the request of the
Committee on Legal Affairs (JURI-Committee), is a contribution to the workshop
on "Text and data mining" held on 22 February 2018 in Brussels. It provides an
analysis of the Commission’s Proposal (which introduces in Article 3 a mandatory
exception to copyright allowing to carry out text and data mining of protected
works), assesses its positive and negative impacts and provides some suggestions
for possible improvements. Advantages of introducing an “open clause” on top of
an enumerated list of exceptions to address some of the related problems are also
reviewed.
