GROSHEIDE In its advice, the Copyright Committee has used some general points of departure on the basis of which it has developed the specif ic parts of the adv ice. Firstly, the Comm ittee sought to retain, where possible, the text and the system of the current 1912 Copyright Act. For the large part, this concerns open terms that have stood the test of time. In this context, the Committee has put forward proposals to fomulate the legislation in this field, preferably in a technology-neutral (or meda-neutral) manner. On the other hand, the Committee has tried to keep up with the technology sed in the Copyright Directive, along the lines of Instruction 56 of the Instructions for Rules and Regulations. After all, it must be prevented that the result of the Directive will be that the frameworks of terms in force in the aws and regulations of the Member States will diverge even more than they do already, while the intended objective of the Directive is hamonization. In addition, the Committee is of the opinion that no unnecessary amendments must be made in the context of the implementation. The Committee therefore recommends that the exploitation rights remain intact insofar as this is possible. The Committee also adv ises that the existing exemptions should be retained, at least where this is allowed by the Directive. This aspect is examined in further detail under 2. 4. 314 Rejecting the notion of as well as the need for a fundamental rev ision of the existing opyright Act DCA)(e.g. combining it with the Neighbouring Rights Act (NRA)) the committee has reta ined to its previous advice in which it was of the opinion that the existing two-tier approach under the dCa, providing the copyright owner with the reproduction right(verveelvoudigingsrecht )and the publication right (openbaarmakingsrecht) sufficient in order to cope with the three tier approach of the WCTand the Chd, providing fora reproduction right, a right of communication to the public, and a distribution right.
