Standards for public use.

DECRETO

N° 1.671

Bs. As., 2/12/74

VISTO;

The need to implement Decree No. 746 of 18 December 1973 to enable its application to the concurrence of all the sectors concerned and at the same time to expand the implementation of the requirements; of Decree No. 41.233 of 3 May 1934 and regulations updated to date, of Law No. 11.723, all insofar as it relates to the retribution that must be carried out by all persons who in their direct indirect support to other production

CONSIDERING:

That the agreements, carried out between Asociación Argentina de Interpretes (A.A.D.I.) and the Argentine Chamber of Fonogram Producers (C.A.P.I.F.) ratified by the Argentine Union of, Músicos (S.A.D.E.M.) and the Association of Argentine Vocalist Intérpretes (A.D.I.V.A.) point out that the two entities have been able to establish appropriate guidelines.

It becomes necessary to determine the distribution of the remuneration paid by users by setting the amount of the same, its distribution and collection.

That national and international backgrounds indicate that it is appropriate for organizations that bring together the holders of such rights to be responsible for the perception and administration of the emerging funds of the same, and for due compliance with the legal rules that have enshrined them.

That while the retribution due to users who publicly run phonograms was partially collected and distributed so far to the main interpreters, it is necessary to extreme control means to avoid any possibility of enrichment caused by users.

That the efforts and agreements made between the Argentine Association of Intérpretes (A.D.I.) and the Argentine Chamber of Producers and Industrials of Fonograms (C.A.P.I.F.) supported by the Argentine Union of Musicians (S.A.D.E.M.) and the Association of Intérpretes Argentinos (A.D.I.) have established the legitimate objective of both.

That the business sectors have reconciled their rights and legitimate expectations by asking for the legal instrument that allows them to become independent of a commercial intermediation in the perception of their rights in accordance with the social justice and distribution policy inspires the Superior Government of the Nation to enable harmonious and peaceful coexistence.

Therefore,

The PRESIDENT De la Nación Argentina
