In such a case, these limits shall not preclude the importation into the region(s) concerned of products which were shipped from Kazakhstan on the basis of export licences obtained before the date of formal notification to Kazakhstan by the Community about the introduction of the above limits.The Community shall inform Kazakhstan of the technical and administrative measures, such as defined in the attached note verbale, that need to be introduced by both Parties in order to implement the above paragraphs in conformity with the principles of the internal market.For the Government of the Republic of KazakhstanFor the Council of the European CommunitiesAgreed Minute No 3 In the context of the Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Republic of Kazakhstan on trade in textile and clothing products, initialled at Brussels on 15 October 1993, the Parties agreed that Kazakhstan shall endeavour not to deprive certain regions of the Community which have traditionally had relatively small shares of Community quotas of imports of products serving as inputs for their processing industry.The Community and Kazakhstan further

 OVERSÆTTELSE
 MARRAKESHTRAKTATEN
 om fremme af adgang til offentliggjorte værker for personer, der er blinde eller synshæmmede eller på anden måde har et læsehandicap
 DE KONTRAHERENDE PARTER,
 SOM ERINDRER OM principperne om ikke-diskrimination, lige muligheder, tilgængelighed og fuld og effektiv deltagelse og inklusion i samfundslivet, der er proklameret i verdenserklæringen om menneskerettigheder og De Forenede Nationers konvention om handicappedes rettigheder,
 SOM ER OPMÆRKSOM PÅ de udfordringer, der forhindrer personer, der er synshæmmede eller på anden måde har et læsehandicap, i at realisere sig fuldt ud, og som begrænser deres ytringsfrihed, herunder friheden til at søge, modtage og sprede alle former for oplysninger og tanker på lige fod med andre, herunder gennem alle former for kommunikation efter eget valg, deres udøvelse af retten til uddannelse og muligheden for at gennemføre forskning,
 SOM FREMHÆVER betydningen af ophavsretlig beskyttelse som incitament til og belønning for litterære og kunstneriske frembringelser og af at styrke mulighederne for alle, herunder personer, der er synshæmmede eller på anden måde har et læsehandicap, for at deltage i samfundets kulturelle liv, nyde kunst og blive delagtiggjort i videnskabens fremskridt og dens goder,
 SOM ER OPMÆRKSOM PÅ de hindringer, der gør det vanskeligt for personer, der er synshæmmede eller på anden måde har et læsehandicap, at få adgang til offentliggjorte værker og dermed opnå lige muligheder i samfundet, og på behovet for både at øge antallet af værker i tilgængeligt format og forbedre deres udbredelse,
 SOM TAGER HENSYN TIL, at flertallet af alle synshæmmede og andre læsehandicappede lever i udviklingslandene og de mindst udviklede lande,
 SOM ERKENDER, at selv om der er forskelle i den nationale ophavsretslovgivning, kan de positive virkninger af ny informations- og kommunikationsteknologi på livet for personer, der er synshæmmede eller på anden måde har et læsehandicap, styrkes gennem en bedre international juridisk ramme,
 SOM ERKENDER, at mange medlemsstater har indført indskrænkninger og undtagelser i deres nationale ophavsretslovgivning for personer, der er synshæmmede eller på anden måde har et læsehandicap, men at der ikke desto mindre fortsat er mangel på eksemplarer af værker i tilgængeligt format for sådanne personer, og at medlemsstaternes indsats for at gøre værker tilgængelige for disse personer kræver betydelige ressourcer, samt at de manglende muligheder for udveksling på tværs af grænserne af eksemplarer i tilgængeligt format har nødvendiggjort dobbeltarbejde på dette område,
 SOM ANERKENDER både betydningen af rettighedsindehavernes rolle med hensyn til at gøre deres værker tilgængelige for personer, der er synshæmmede eller på anden måde har et læsehandicap, samt betydningen af passende indskrænkninger og undtagelser til dette formål, særlig når markedet ikke er i stand til at tilvejebringe sådan adgang,
 SOM ERKENDER behovet for at opretholde balancen mellem en effektiv beskyttelse af ophavsmænds rettigheder og den bredere almenheds interesser, navnlig uddannelse, forskning og adgang til information, og at en sådan balance skal fremme effektiv og rettidig adgang til værker for personer, der er synshæmmede eller på anden måde har et læsehandicap,
 SOM BEKRÆFTER de kontraherende parters forpligtelser i henhold til de eksisterende internationale traktater


text:
om ophavsretsbeskyttelse og betydningen og fleksibiliteten af tretrinstesten i forbindelse med indskrænkninger og undtagelser, jf. artikel 9, stk. 2, i Bernerkonventionen til værn for litterære og kunstneriske værker og andre internationale instrumenter,
 SOM ERINDRER OM betydningen af henstillingerne i dagsordenen for udvikling, der blev vedtaget i 2007 af generalforsamlingen for Verdensorganisationen for Intellektuel Ejendomsret (WIPO), og som tilstræber at sikre, at udviklingshensyn udgør en integrerende del af organisationens arbejde,
 SOM ANERKENDER betydningen af det internationale ophavsretssystem, og som ønsker at harmonisere indskrænkninger og undtagelser med henblik på at fremme adgang til og anvendelse af værker for personer, der er synhæmmede eller på anden måde har et læsehandicap,
 ER BLEVET ENIGE OM FØLGENDE:
 Artikel 1
 Forholdet til andre konventioner og traktater
 Denne traktat fraviger på ingen måde forpligtelser, som de kontraherende parter har over for hinanden i henhold til andre traktater, ligesom den ikke berører deres rettigheder i henhold til andre traktater.
 Artikel 2
 Definitioner
 I denne traktat forstås ved:
 a) »værker«: litterære og kunstneriske værker, jf. artikel 2, stk. 1, i Bernerkonventionen til værn for litterære og kunstneriske værker, i form af tekst, tegn og/eller hermed forbundne illustrationer, uanset om de er offentliggjort eller på anden måde stillet til rådighed for almenheden i et medie (1)
 b) »eksemplar i tilgængeligt format«: et eksemplar af et værk, der er tilgængeligt på en anden måde eller i en anden form, som giver en målgruppeperson adgang til værket, herunder lige så nemt og ubesværet som en person, der ikke er synshæmmet eller på anden måde har et læsehandicap. Et sådant eksemplar i tilgængeligt format anvendes kun af målgruppepersoner, og det skal respektere originalværkets integritet under behørig hensyntagen til de ændringer, der er nødvendige for at gøre værket tilgængeligt i det alternative format, og til målgruppepersonernes adgangsbehov
 c) »bemyndiget enhed«: en enhed, der er bemyndiget eller anerkendt af staten med henblik på at forestå uddannelse, oplysende undervisning, individuelt tilpasset læsning eller adgang til information for målgruppepersoner på ikke-kommerciel basis. Bemyndigede enheder omfatter også statslige institutioner eller nonprofitorganisationer, der leverer de samme ydelser til målgruppepersoner som led i deres primære aktiviteter eller institutionelle forpligtelser (2).
 En bemyndiget enhed fastlægger og følger sin egen praksis med henblik på at:
 i)
 fastslå, at de personer, den servicerer, er målgruppepersoner
 ii)
 begrænse sin spredning og tilrådighedsstillelse af eksemplarer i tilgængeligt format til målgruppepersoner og/eller bemyndigede enheder
 iii)
 bekæmpe reproduktion, spredning og tilrådighedsstillelse af uautoriserede eksemplarer og
 iv)
 forvalte eksemplarer af værker med behørig omhu og føre registre over forvaltningen og i den forbindelse respektere målgruppepersoners privatliv i overensstemmelse med artikel 8.
 Artikel 3
 Målgruppepersoner
 En målgruppeperson er en person, der
 a)
 er blind
 b)

 c)


text:
på anden måde grundet et fysisk handicap er ude af stand til at holde eller håndtere en bog eller fokusere eller bevæge øjnene i et omfang, der normalt muliggør læsning,
 uafhængigt af eventuelle andre handicap.

 bemyndigede enheder må uden tilladelse fra indehaveren af ophavsretten fremstille et eksemplar i tilgængeligt format af et værk, indhente et eksemplar i tilgængeligt format hos en anden bemyndiget enhed og levere disse eksemplarer til målgruppepersoner på en hvilken som helst måde, herunder ved ikke-kommercielt udlån eller ved trådbunden eller trådløs elektronisk kommunikation, og tage alle mellemliggende skridt til at nå disse mål, når alle følgende betingelser er opfyldt:
 i)
 den bemyndigede enhed, der ønsker at udøve nævnte aktivitet, har lovlig adgang til det pågældende værk eller et eksemplar af værket
 ii)
 værket er konverteret til et eksemplar i tilgængeligt format, hvilket kan være på en hvilken som helst måde, der er nødvendig for at kunne navigere i oplysningerne i det tilgængelige format, men som ikke indfører andre ændringer end dem, der er nødvendige for at gøre værket tilgængeligt for målgruppepersonen
 iii)
 sådanne eksemplarer i tilgængeligt format tilvejebringes udelukkende til brug for målgruppepersoner, og
 iv)
 aktiviteten udøves på ikke-kommerciel basis

 3. En kontraherende part kan efterkomme artikel 4, stk. 1, ved at foreskrive andre indskrænkninger eller undtagelser i sin nationale ophavsretslovgivning i henhold til artikel 10 og 11 (4).
 4. En kontraherende part kan begrænse indskrænkninger eller undtagelser i henhold til denne artikel til værker, der ikke på rimelige vilkår for målgruppepersonerne foreligger kommercielt i det særlige tilgængelige format på det pågældende marked. Enhver kontraherende part, der gør brug af denne mulighed, skal deponere en meddelelse herom hos WIPO's generaldirektør på tidspunktet for ratificeringen, godkendelsen eller tiltrædelsen af denne traktat eller på et hvilket som helst senere tidspunkt (5).

eller undtagelser i henhold til denne artikel skal være genstand for vederlag.
 Artikel 5
 Udveksling på tværs af grænserne af eksemplarer i tilgængeligt format
 1. De kontraherende parter foreskriver, at hvis der fremstilles et eksemplar i tilgængeligt format i henhold til en indskrænkning eller undtagelse eller i henhold til loven, må en bemyndiget enhed sprede eller stille dette eksemplar i tilgængeligt format til rådighed for en målgruppeperson eller en bemyndiget enhed i en anden kontraherende part (6).

 a)
 bemyndigede enheder må uden tilladelse fra rettighedsindehaveren sprede og stille eksemplarer i tilgængeligt format til rådighed for en bemyndiget enhed i en anden kontraherende part til brug udelukkende for målgruppepersoner, og
 b)

 forudsat at den afsendende bemyndigede enhed forud for spredningen eller tilrådighedsstillelse ikke vidste eller havde rimelig grund til at vide, at eksemplaret i tilgængeligt format ville blive anvendt til andre end målgruppepersoner (7).
 3. En kontraherende part kan efterkomme artikel 5, stk. 1, ved at foreskrive andre indskrænkninger eller undtagelser i sin nationale ophavsretslovgivning i henhold til artikel 5, stk. 4, og artikel 10 og 11.
 4.
 a)
 Når en bemyndiget enhed i en kontraherende part modtager eksemplarer i tilgængeligt format i henhold til artikel 5, stk. 1, og den pågældende kontraherende part ikke har forpligtelser i henhold til Bernerkonventionens artikel 9, sikrer den i overensstemmelse med sit eget retssystem og sin egen retspraksis, at de pågældende eksemplarer i tilgængeligt format kun reproduceres, spredes og stilles til rådighed til fordel for målgruppepersoner på den pågældende kontraherende parts område.

 Artikel 7
 Forpligtelser vedrørende teknologiske foranstaltninger
 De kontraherende parter træffer, hvis det er nødvendigt, passende foranstaltninger


text:
for at sikre, at hensigtsmæssig retlig beskyttelse og effektive retsmidler, der sættes ind for at bekæmpe omgåelse af effektive teknologiske foranstaltninger, ikke forhindrer målgruppepersoner i at drage fordel af de indskrænkninger og undtagelser, der følger af denne traktat (11).

 Artikel 9
 Samarbejde om fremme af udveksling på tværs af grænserne
 1. De kontraherende parter tilstræber at befordre udveksling på tværs af grænserne af eksemplarer i tilgængeligt format ved at tilskynde til frivillig informationsdeling for at bistå bemyndigede enheder med at identificere hinanden. WIPO's Internationale Bureau opretter en indgangsportal til dette formål.
 2. De kontraherende parter påtager sig at bistå deres bemyndigede enheder, når disse udøver aktiviteter i henhold til artikel 5, for at stille oplysninger til rådighed vedrørende deres praksis i medfør af artikel 2, litra c), både gennem informationsdeling blandt bemyndigede enheder og gennem tilrådighedsstillelse af oplysninger vedrørende deres politikforanstaltninger og praksis, herunder om udveksling på tværs af grænserne af eksemplarer i tilgængeligt format, for interesserede parter og offentligheden, alt efter hvad der er relevant.
