Abstract

The legal basis for the Public Lending Right in Croatia are the EU Directive 91/100/EEC on Lending and Rental Right from 1992 and the Croatian Copyright and Related Rights Act of 1 October 2003. Through the joint action of the Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Croatia, the county central public libraries, and the National and University Library in Zagreb, the central IT system for collecting the data on public lending was established with the aim of implementing the Public Lending Right. Furthermore, on the initiative of the public libraries two agreements were concluded and signed by the Croatian Writers’ Association: the Agreement on Terms of Establishing the Compensation Fee for Public Loan for the Authors and the Agreement on the Terms and Mode of Paying the Expenses of Maintaining the System of Public Lending Right, and thus the necessary pre-conditions for the implementation of the public lending right were established.
