Transposition of the Digital Single Market Directive

Key aspects

• Directive (EU) 2019/790 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 April  2019 (DSMD) aims to harmonize the laws on copyright and related rights, focusing on the digital environment and aiming to protect authors while guaranteeing access to creative content.

• The transposition and implementation of the DSMD in EU Member States¾ initially scheduled for June 7, 2021¾has been repeatedly delayed.

• Law 11/2023 of March 22 again authorizes the Government to legislate on the DSM within 180 days.
