EXPLANATORY NOTE 
(This note is not part of these Regulations) 
These Regulations amend the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 (“the Act”). Article 
5(3)(b) of Directive 2001/29/EC of the European Par liament and of the Council of 22 May 2001 
on the harmonisation of certain aspects of copyrigh t and related rights in the information society 
(OJ No L167, 22.6.2001, p.10) permits Member States  to provide for an exception to the copyright 
and related rights provided under the Directive in the case of uses, for the benefit of people with a 
disability, which are directly related to the disab ility and of a non-commercial nature, to the extent  
required by the specific disability. These Regulati ons amend the way in which this exception is 
implemented in the UK. 
These Regulations make provision for the repeal and  replacement of the subject matter of 
sections 31A to 31F and 74 of the Act which relate to the provision of copyright works to visually 
impaired persons and subtitling of broadcasts. Regu lation 2 inserts into the Act sections 31A, 31B, 
31BA, 31BB and 31F. These sections make expanded pr ovision for the supply of copies of 
modified copyright works to disabled persons genera lly rather than just disabled persons who are 
visually impaired or those who require subtitled br oadcasts. Some of the requirements of the 
repealed provisions are not carried through into th e new provisions, in particular those relating to 
licensing schemes contained in old section 31D and the powers conferred on the Secretary of State 
to make orders to disapply section 31B which were c ontained in section 31E. Section 31A makes 
provision for the making and supply to a disabled p erson of accessible copies (as defined by 
section 31F(4)) of a copyright work where that pers on has lawful possession or use of a copy of 
the work and accessible copies are not commercially  available. Sections 31B, 31BA and 31BB 
make provision for the making and supply by authori sed bodies (defined in section 31F(6) as an 
educational establishment or a body that is not con ducted for profit) of accessible copies of 
broadcasts and other types of copyright work for di sabled persons generally, where such copies 
are not commercially available. 
Regulation 3 makes provision for similar exceptions  relating to rights in performances in 
relation to recordings of performances in films and  sound recordings. 
Regulation 4 and the Schedule make provision for co nsequential amendments, repeals, 
revocations and saving provisions. 
A full impact assessment of the effect that this in strument will have on the cost of business and 
the voluntary sector is available from the Intellec tual Property Office, Concept House, Cardiff 
Road, Newport, NP10 8QQ and is annexed to the Expla natory Memorandum (together with a 
transposition note) which is available alongside th e instrument on www.legislation.gov.uk.
