26. According to the parties, the facilitation of a one-stop shop
global
licence for the benefit of both rights holders and
rights users is pro-competitive. Whilst the establishment of
the Reciprocal Agreement will require a degree of coop-
eration between the societies, it will not be replacing any
existing activities, since it is geared to the development of
an entirely new licensing facility.
