CJEU backs publisher remuneration rules for online press use
Online platforms must treat publisher-use negotiations as a regulated workflow
- — Online platforms using press-publication snippets or content in Member States with Article 15 remuneration regimes must prepare negotiation and disclosure workflows — the CJEU confirms those national obligations can be compatible with EU law.
- — Press publishers negotiating with online service providers must preserve authorisation decisions and evidence of actual or intended use — fair remuneration cannot be detached from the use of their publications.
- — Legal and policy teams at information society service providers must reassess challenges to national publisher-compensation regimes — regulator oversight, good-faith negotiation duties and data-disclosure requirements are not automatically barred by Article 15 or the Charter.
- — Online platforms and information society service providers using press publications
- — Press publishers negotiating online-use remuneration
- — Legal and policy teams handling EU copyright and platform-regulation disputes
- — National media or communications regulators supervising publisher compensation
- — 12 May 2026: CJEU judgment issued in Case C-797/23, Meta Platforms Ireland v AGCOM.
