A few words about the Committee...

The Committee for the Notification of Online Infringement of Copyright and Related Rights (EDPPI) was established by Law 4481/2017, which introduced Article 66E into Law 2121/1993. According to this provision and the Ministerial Decisions issued by virtue of it, the EDPPI constitutes an administrative authority to which rightholders of copyright and/or related rights can address, under the conditions laid down by law, utilizing an extrajudicial mechanism for the immediate and effective cessation and prevention of infringement of their rights in the digital environment.
Additionally, in the procedure of paragraph 10A of Article 66E regarding the prevention of imminent infringement (live-blocking), an application may also be submitted to the EDPPI by the organizer of sports events regarding potential infringement of their rights, as provided for in sports legislation.
