On this basis, it produced national and comparative reports, grouped into 12 homogeneous categories of permitted uses. The study aimed at (a) assessing the degree of harmonisation across the EU and the impact of their territoriality and optional nature on the proper functioning of the system; (b) mapping which “uses” and “purposes” are balanced against copyright and with what results, both in the EU and in each Member State; and (c) identifying the regulatory gaps and enablers impacting on the proper functioning of copyright flexibilities across the Union. This article will provide an overview of the background, methodology (Section 2) and main results of the research, sketching the past and present of EU copyright flexibilities (Section 3). On this basis, it will provide general and specific recommendations for future reforms (Section 4). 000049140 542__ $$fCC BY 4.0 000049140 588__ $$aCrossref 000049140 590__ $$aPublished online: 2024 000049140 650_0 $$aIntellectual property.$$zEuropean Union. 000049140 650_0 $$aCopyright$$zEuropean Union. 000049140 650_0 $$aIntellectual property. 000049140 650_0 $$aCopyright. 000049140 650_0 $$aPatents. 000049140 7001_ $$aSganga, Caterina,$$eauthor. 000049140 7731_ $$tInternational Review of Intellectual Property Law & Competition Law 000049140 7731_ $$wIIC 000049140 830_0 $$aInternational Review of Intellectual Property Law & Competition Law ;$$vVolume 55, Issue 1. 000049140 85641 $$uhttps://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s40319-023-01413-9$$yonline version 000049140 904__ $$aJournal article 000049140 980__ $$aIIC
