               Is use subject to purchase or licensing terms within the meaning of Article 5(3)(n) of Directive 2001/29/EC (1) where the rightholder offers to conclude with the establishments referred to therein licensing agreements for the use of works on appropriate terms?
            
         
               2.
            
            
               Does Article 5(3)(n) of Directive 2001/29/EC entitle the Member States to confer on the establishments the right to digitise the works contained in their collections, if that is necessary in order to make those works available on terminals?

               May the rights which the Member States lay down pursuant to Article 5(3)(n) of Directive 2001/29/EC go so far as to enable users of the terminals to print out on paper or store on a USB stick the works made available there?
