Post: Commodities: Rome Executive Summary: Author Defined: Section I. Market Overview Macro Economic Situation & Key Demographic Trends Italy has a diversified industrial economy with roughly the same total and per capita output as France and the UK. Most raw materials required by Italian industry, including the food processing sector, and more than 75 percent of energy requirements, are imported. Over the past decade, Italy has pursued a tight fiscal policy in order to meet the requirements of the Economic and Monetary Union and is part of the Euro Zone. Italy has moved slowly, however, on implementing needed structural reforms, such as lightening the high tax burden and overhauling Italy's rigid labor market and over-generous pension system, because of the current economic slowdown and opposition from labor unions. But the leadership faces a severe economic constraint: Italy's official debt remains above 100 percent of GDP, and the Berlusconi government has found it difficult to bring the budget deficit down to a level that would allow a rapid decrease in that debt. The Italian economy is driven in large part by the manufacture of high-quality consumer goods produced by small and medium- sized enterprises. Italy also has a sizable underground economy, which by some estimates accounts for as much as 15 percent of GDP. These activities are most common within the agriculture, construction, and service sectors. Italy's official debt remains above 100 percent of GDP, and the fiscal deficit -1.5 percent of GDP in 2007 - could approach 3 percent in 2009 as political pressure to stimulate the economy and the costs of servicing Italy's debt rise. The economy will continue to contract through 2009 as the global demand for exports drop. Italy is one of the largest agricultural producers in the European Union (EU). Its major trading partners in food and agricultural products are EU member states, with neighboring France and Germany each accounting for roughly a fifth of Italy's trade. Italy's major exports consist of wine, olive oil, cheeses, and fruits and vegetables. Italian perception of the place and role of Italian food in the global marketplace ties into the issue of protected designations of origin, or geographic indications, which represent only a small fraction of the value of total food production yet loom large in Italy's national marketing of its food exports as 'high quality and Italian?. On balance, Italy is a net importer of agricultural products. In 2008, Italy imported $1.1 billion of U.S. food and agricultural products. Italy?s total annual food and agriculture imports were more than $40 billion. The EU remains Italy?s most important trading partner with the top five suppliers being France, Germany, Spain, the Netherlands and Austria, while the main importers of Italy?s goods, in addition to Germany and France, were the United States, followed by the UK and Spain. Wine dominates Italy's food exports, followed by pasta, virgin and extra-virgin olive oil, canned tomatoes, cheese, biscuits and baked goods. The United States is Italy's largest non-EU market. The United States imported more than $3.4 billion worth of Italian food and agricultural products in 2008. Due to its large food processing sector?s need for inputs, Italy has become a net agricultural importing country. Processed food products make up 77 percent of exports and 65 percent of imports. The United States is, for Italy, primarily a supplier of high quality inputs for Italian food processing?wheat for pasta and confectionary, forest products for furniture and housing components, tree nuts for bakery products, seeds for planting, hides and skins, seafood for the restaurant sector, and tobacco. While consumer-ready products also do succeed in this market, the EU's system of making technical conclusions subordinate to political decisions has constrained trade for many U.S. products, but in particular, meats and products containing genetically modified ingredients. Because the export market drives the Italian food processing sector, the economic performance of the world market, and particularly the economic performance of Germany and other northern neighbors, heavily influences Italian business performance. Outside the EU, where Italy competes in global food markets, the weak dollar and strong euro have continued to exert pressure on Italian food export prospects. The notable exception is the United States where Italian wine sales continue to grow in spite of the 'expensive' euro. Italian Importers and Retailers Italian importers are usually small to medium-sized companies, rather than the large, market-dominating types found in northern Europe. Consequently, these companies import smaller volumes and a broader range than their much larger European counterparts. Most imported food products enter the Italian market through brokers or specialized traders. Price is always important, although quality and novelty alone do move some imported products. Imported products from North America often enter Italy indirectly from the Netherlands' Port of Rotterdam, or directly by air. Processed food is primarily distributed through retail grocers, convenience stores and discount grocers. Italian retail chain outlets have started to make their own purchasing decisions. Advantages and Challenges for U.S. Exporters in Italy Advantages Challenges U.S. products are viewed as ?trendy, new and innovative?, Strong cultural presumptions that Italian food products are especially those with added benefits of health and lifestyle. superior to those of foreign suppliers. Ingrained political opposition to modern biotechnology, Growing niche market for ethnic foods. Italians are which leads distribution chains to avoid GMO products. traveling more, becoming aware of foreign cuisines. Weak dollar versus a strong EURO favors U.S. exports. The detention of U.S. products by Italian border inspectors for not conforming to EU sanitary standards. U.S. fast food chains, theme restaurants, and the food Need to develop and invest in the relationship with the processing industry are demanding U.S. origin ingredients. Italian trade contacts and the marketing of the product. Supermarket and hypermarket shelf space and product placement is expensive. Section II. Exporter Business Tips Trade Regulations, Customs and Standards As a member of the EU, the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) governs Italy?s agricultural sector. Similarly, Italy employs the same tariffs and border measures as the other EU member states. Product imported into Italy must meet all Italian and EU food safety and quality standards, as well as labeling and packaging regulations. It is important to work with experienced importers, and/or have an agent to work with Italian regulatory authorities to ensure the acceptability of specific products. Personal relationships and language ability are of value when conducting business transactions. It is also advisable for the agent to contact health authorities at the port of entry as interpretation of health directives may vary from port to port. For more information on Product Trade Restrictions, Food Standards and Regulations, please refer to Post?s FAIRS GAIN Report IT9021. Section III. Market Sector Structure and Trends The Italian Food Retail Sector Italians spend an enormous amount of their disposable income on food, beverages and tobacco (more than 20%). In 2007 household expenditure in Italy on food and drink (including alcoholic beverages) was approximately $187 billion. The results were mainly due to increases in the price of food due to an increase in the price of raw materials (mainly cereals) and the cost of energy In Italy there are 3.42 million foreign residents and food retail outlets have started to cater to these consumers with more foreign and ethnic foods, but these offerings remain small in the face of traditional Italian cuisine. With Europe's Muslim population growing rapidly, halal butcher shops and restaurants are becoming more commonplace, and there is an increased crossover between Muslim and non-Muslim cuisine. More than 1 million Muslims now live in Italy, and, according to reports, halal foods are making inroads into the local cuisine alongside North African and Middle Eastern spices. Continuing tendencies toward smaller families, later marriages, and an increasing number of women in the workforce are resulting in food retail outlets offering more ready-made, ready-to-serve products and a wider range of products. Italian households still prefer fresh rather than frozen and frozen to canned food, as shopping frequency is greater in Italy than in many other European markets. The main groups in modern retailing in Italy are the following with a total of 32,279 outlets: Centrale Italiana - (COOP, Despar, Sigma, Il Gigante) Centrale CONAD - (Conad, Standa-Rewe, Interdis) Esd Italia - (Selex, Esselunga, Agora?) Gruppo Carrefour - (Carrefour, Finiper) Sisa-Coralis - (Sisa, Coralis) Auchan/Intermedia - (Bennet, Pam, Crai, Lombardini, Auchan) C3 Lidl Eurospin Geographically speaking, the number of food outlets showed the greatest increases in the Center. Italian food retailing is still very fragmented and dominated by a high number of small to medium-sized outlets. Most of the supermarkets, hypermarkets, and large shopping malls are mainly located in the North of Italy, while the south continues to lag behind with fewer retail outlets and a still underdeveloped distribution network. Large retailers have started to source products from buying groups who can ensure better deals with suppliers, while some large food retailers have decided to join buying groups to increase their leverage when dealing with suppliers. Although buying groups are largely the precinct of large chain food retailers, independent retailers have started to understand their value. A number of large multinational retailers have either merged or made acquisition agreements with local Italian players, in order to assimilate know-how and avoid fairly strict Italian regulations. Discount retailers are slowing emerging in the Italian market, but have had to modify their market approach by catering to Italian consumer preferences. Hard discounting in the past has proven not to work in Italy but by modifying their image and offering a mix of branded and private label products they seem to have made inroads with the Italian consumer. Private label products have also seen a surge in acceptance by Italian consumers. Each retailer has begun to offer a variety of private label food products, targeting different types of consumers, especially in the organic or typical regional categories. Centrale Italiana?s COOP is presently the most important retailer in Italy. Born as a cooperative between farmers, they have succeeded in incorporating small to medium sized Italian businesses, which have flourished by maintaining their in-depth knowledge and appreciation of Italian and local tastes and needs. The two most important foreign retailers currently present in Italy are Carrefour and Auchan. Auchan has chosen to enter the Italian market with various formats; hypermarkets, supermarkets, department stores, variety stores and hardware stores, while Carrefour?s formats include hypermarkets, supermarkets and convenience stores, with supermarkets being their best performer. The Italian Hotel and Food Service Industry Every year more than 87 million tourists visit Italy, making it the world's fourth most attractive tourist destination. The Italian Hotel and Food Service Industry is a lucrative and growing sector (it is the second largest in the world after the United States); however, it is also diverse and fragmented. It is dominated by many small establishments, bed and breakfast, youth hostels, camping?s, resorts and rural tourism belonging to foreign investors.

Italian Hotel Association Most imported food products enter the Italian market through brokers or specialized traders. Imported products from North America often enter Italy indirectly via the Netherlands' Port of Rotterdam or directly by air. Wholesalers are the main customers for fish and seafood products, as they purchase and distribute to numerous small restaurants and hotels. Most of the processed food and raw material sourcing decisions are made directly by the restaurant chef and/or hotel Food Purchasing Director. Restaurants, hotels and catering companies tend to rely on importers, wholesalers and food manufacturers, while trattorias and pizzerias purchase directly from large retail food outlets. While there are Category Associations for the Hotel and Food Service sectors, each establishment operates independently when it comes to sourcing decisions. Changing Italian lifestyles, with more workers now forced to spend their lunch hours outside of the home due to either longer commuting times or shorter lunch breaks, have given a boost to the food service industry. Italy is slowly moving towards trends and lifestyles seen in other European countries, and it is forecast that an increasing numbers of consumers will eat out during their lunch breaks and possibly also for their evening meals as a result of their jobs, long working hours and business meetings. In the future very few will be able to have a siesta in the afternoon, while most will have to cut down on their lunch break time. Although lunch breaks are likely to become shorter, it is unlikely that most Italians will eat lunch at their desks. Italians still prefer leaving the office for a quick bite. Section IV. Best Prospects for U.S. Agricultural, Fish and Forestry Exports U.S. bulk and intermediate commodities are used as ingredients or inputs for value-added Italian products re-exported. North American high-quality durum wheat, for example, is used to produce pasta. Italy is the world?s fifth largest importer of seafood products, with an annual per capita consumption of almost 25 kilograms of fish and seafood. Last year Italy imported from the United States $78 million in seafood products. Opportunities exist in the supply of fish, especially tuna, salmon, crab, surimi, roe, seafood for the canning industry, frozen fish fillets such as hake, cod and plaice to meet the demand for convenient, ready-to-prepare products, peeled and processed shrimp, squid, cuttlefish, octopus and lobster. Opportunities also exist for fruit berries, condiments, fruit juices, and tree nuts, all sectors that have seen growth in recent years.

Release Notes: Fixes for all the DCC SEND proxying problems people have been having with a rework of the main polling loop and the way that send proxying works, a couple of minor bugs, a potential crashing problem, and the faulty 'from' config directive, a new 'initial_modes' config directive, and new '/DIRCPROXY JUMP' syntax.
Release Notes: Authentication code changed so that dircproxy accepts any number of PASS, NICK, and USER commands until it gets all three, at which point you are then authenticated. This is a lot more like the way IRC servers do it. Also fixed are the various problems with the nickname held by your client, dircproxy, and the server being different.
Release Notes: The DCC problems that could fill your syslog up were fixed. A few portability issues were also fixed, especially that which prevented compilation on FreeBSD. Slight documentation improvements were made.
Release Notes: Fixes were made for a few portability issues, for the completely broken inetd code, and for crashing on various types of failures.
Release Notes: This release features an almost 50% rewrite. dircproxy is now completely non-blocking (DNS and sending), and it does DCC proxying, DCC send capturing, and DCC over ssh tunnels. Loads of new options were added including revamped log code, automatic channel joining, attach/detach messages, server data throttling, and new /DIRCPROXY commands.
Release Notes: A "%s" security vulnerability in the NOTICE code has been fixed, and a bug that caused a core dump if a PRIVMSG or NOTICE was received from the server without a source has been fixed.
Release Notes: A minor bug that prevented user modes from being restored upon reconnection to a lost server was fixed.
Release Notes: A rewrite of the stoned server checking to fix all the problems people have been having with it (it now pro-actively pings the servers rather than just waiting for them to ping it), a fix for a long-standing bug that meant QUIT messages never appeared on IRC and also that warnings appeared in syslog, a fix for the memory leak that affected those using --enable-debug, and a new config file option to disable automatic detaching.
Release Notes: The bug that prevented you from connecting to the proxy when using the "from" configuration option to limit source hosts was fixed. This fix also ensures that user configuration files aren't world readable as they could contain passwords.
Release Notes: A major security bug (of the format string kind) was fixed. Other fixed bugs include core dumping on dropping of modes and logging not working unless "log_maxsize" was used.

text: Patek Philippe is considered the father of the perpetual calendar wristwatch - a grand complication providing the wearer with readings of the time, day, date, month and leap year. Unlike a simple calendar watch that needs to be adjusted five times a year to account for those non-conformist months with 30 days, plus February's 28 or 29 days, a perpetual calendar automatically keeps track of these variations and only needs to be tweaked once a century, i.e. in 2100 and 2200. This elegant rose gold perpetual calendar watch comes in a 39.5mm case and is extremely easy and intuitive to read. Three apertures at 9, 12 and 3 o'clock give you the day, leap year and month, while the date is read off with a red-tipped retrograde hand in the centre of the dial, and a lovely Moon phase indicator embellishes the opaline dial. Powered by Patek's mechanical automatic movement - calibre 324 QR - these Patek Philippe watches have all the makings of a family heirloom.Visit PATEK.COM

Healthy Butternut Squash Chips are salty, crunchy + slightly sweet. Made with only 4 ingredients, they're the perfect snack to satisfy your junk food cravings!
Have you ever made something on a total whim and it turned out completely amazing? That's what happened with these chips. I find that this happens pretty often actually… whenever I just 'wing it', I always come up with the best recipes, and most delicious meals! (The of course I forget to write down what I did so I have to try to re-trace my steps to figure it out!) Regardless… I was SO excited when these chips came out the way they did.
I love butternut squash as a side dish with other roasted veggies because it's so versatile and has the best slightly sweet flavor. After spiralizing it for the first time.. I fell in love with it even more! One night I decided I was going to make Inspiralized's Winter Kale, Sausage and Butternut Squash Lasagna for dinner. I had never spiralized a butternut squash, so I was excited to see how it would come out! I put together the lasagna, tossed it in the oven.. .and then I realized that I had a TON of leftover squash noodle/chips (what's the official term for these?? I have no clue!). I decided I'd bake them in the oven and see what happened. I really didn't have high hopes, but when they came out of the oven I was SO impressed.
Ty was pretty excited about them too. They were finished baking before our dinner was done, so we pretty much stood over the oven shoving them into our mouths because we were starving! By the time dinner was ready both cookie sheets that had previously been full were totally gone! I think it's the combo of the sweetness of the squash with the salt/pepper… They're totally addictive!!
Things we used for this recipe: olive oil spray, sea salt, pepper, silicone baking sheet, baking sheet, spiralizer
These were so good I wound up going to the store the next day to get another squash to make them again. They're perfect for snacking on with an avocado, or as a side to a yummy sandwich. Or they're delicious on their own.. I mean really… there's no wrong way to eat chips in my book 🙂

[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-702?page=comments#action_12450530 ] Raghu Angadi commented on HADOOP-702: ------------------------------------- With the manual rollback on each of the nodes on the cluster, I think we will need a way to know if a data-node is connecting to namenode with wrong fs version because there will be some datanodes which did not run the rollback procedure. One indirect way for namenode to recognize such nodes is to check if "latest stored version" on datanode is "later" than namenode's. What should Namenode do if it notices such a datanode? Since rollback is supposed to be rare, it could 'fail fast' and somehow let admin to fix such nodes. > DFS Upgrade Proposal > -------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-702 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-702 > Project: Hadoop > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: dfs > Reporter: Konstantin Shvachko > Attachments: DFSUpgradeProposal.html > > > Currently the DFS cluster upgrade procedure is manual. > http://wiki.apache.org/lucene-hadoop/Hadoop_Upgrade > It is rather complicated and does not guarantee data recoverability in case of software errors or administrator mistakes. > This is a description of utilities that make the upgrade process almost automatic and minimize chance of loosing or corrupting data. > Please see the attached html file for details. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira

While the features grew, the size of the NS Mini just got smaller…introducing the NS Micro Headstock Tuner. The NS Micro offers improved accuracy, faster response, expanded calibration range, visual metronome mode and an improved ratchet design. A highly sensitive piezo transducer and easy to read multi-color backlit display allow smooth and highly accurate tuning in noisy, dim or well-lit environments while the micro design and reversible screen allow the tuner to hide effortlessly behind or mount on the front side of the headstock allowing the tuner to remain clamped to the instrument inside most cases when stored. A 360 degree swivel mechanism and adjustable padded clamp, offers optimal viewing angles and maximum positioning flexibility. As a result, the NS Micro is equally at home on left and right-handed instruments as well as on small and large headstocks, making it the ideal choice for the widest variety of players and instruments. The NS Micro is powered by a readily available CR2032 battery (included) and provides maximum battery life utilizing an auto-off function, shutting the tuner off automatically after several minutes from power up. Enjoy effortless and inconspicuous tuning at a great value with the NS Micro Headstock Tuner. A Ned Steinberger design.
D'Addario electronic tuners are designed by musicians for musicians featuring intuitive features, easy to read display's, and exceptional tuning accuracy.

Poor Accomodation
Overall we were terribly disappointed with the quality of our stay and on the basis of our experience will not stay again nor recommend it to any of our friends.
There were a couple of redeeming factors. The reception staff were very friendly and helpful. So also were the restaurant staff and in fact the highlight of our stay was both the quality and the service at our breakfast.
On the negative side there were many points of criticism mainly related to the poor quality of the small room we were allocated (no. 27). The issues we encountered included:
The controls on the radiator in the room did not work. As a consequence the room was boiling hot all night and we had a very poor night's sleep. The plumbing on the toilet did not work properly (handle stuck and it took ages to refill)
The sealant around the bath was mouldy in places. The sealant around the bath behind the taps looked like it had been applied by a child (with no diy skill at all)
The bathroom door would not close on the catch. There were lights above the bed but we could not see how to switch them on. The state of decoration in the bathroom was well past its refurbishment date - e.g paint blistering on the skirting boards
Upon arrival in our room the the remote control did not work properly. This was replaced by the maintenance staff.
As you can see we think the accommodation offered to us was poor and it was well below the standard we expected.

Great value but had to make a complaint first
Stayed at the hotel, booked very last minute.
Was shown a tiny box room, nicely decorated but down a dingy corridor with no wallpaper. Room was very cold. Went back to reception where the lovely young lady upgraded me to an elegant room which was more than satisfactory - I think her name was Lesley. The bar was nice and modern but the kitchen was closed by the time I needed food. The barman produced a bowl of compliemtary nuts which sufficed. I would stay here again but not in the rooms in the downstaors corridor which I am sure wqill be improved but should currently not be available for guests.

Okay, first this is not an attempt to try and convince a change on the pages in relation to this subject. This is meraly meant to offer some discussion on what I think is an interesting point.
In the Finale, after the battle of Winterfell, Stannis is left in the woods wonded and presumably killed by Brienne. Now the official site states this as fact, which is not as hard a proof as I would prefer, given it has in the past been altered to fit in with new show continuity, but that's another discussion.
The thing of interest here is why did they not show his death? The show has never been scared to show gruesome and brutal deaths, and as far as I know or can remember, no major character has ever been killed off screen. In and interview on EW.com, Weiss actually address the need to show the death without any ambiguity in it, in this case in Jon's death.
"In a book, you can present that kind of ambiguity," Weiss said. "In a show, everybody sees it for what it is. It's that rule: 'If don't see the body then they're not really dead.' Like when we cut Ned's head off, we didn't want a gory Monty Python geyser of blood, but we needed to see the blade enter his neck and cut out on the frame where the blade was mid-neck—it was longest discussion ever of where to cut a frame; two hours of talking about whether to cut at frame six or frame seven or frame eight. And that's all by way of saying we needed Ned's death to be totally unambiguous. I remember reading the book and going back and forth, like, 'Did I miss something? Was [Ned] swapped out for somebody else?' There's a level of ambiguity because you're not seeing something starkly represented. In the book, you can write around things to preserve a certain level of mystery that you have to commit to on screen."
They go into more in the interview, but this is major point that makes the scene so odd.
Even with the cut away in Ned's death they still showed the blade going into the neck.
So the question is, why? They had to have a reason to cut away, alive or dead, their had to be a reason to make a conscious choice to do this.
For him to be dead, they really had to have a reason to cut away, which is frankly a bigger mystery than if Stannis lived. If he lived, then the reason for the cut away is obvious, but with his death, it doesn't make as much sense. Does any one have any theroy as to why this would be done from a creative stand point?

Copyright Levies in Germany - Settlement for Computers, Netbooks & Co.
By a press release of 27th of January 2014, the Federal Association for Information Technology, Telecommunications and New Media ("BITKOM") announced that BITKOM and the collecting societies jointly connected in the Central Organisation for Private Recording Rights ("ZPÜ") representing the legal interests of authors and other copyright owners in Germany came to a settlement of the legal dispute on copyright levies to be paid on computers that has been ongoing for several years now (since 2011). The collecting society GEMA (Society for Musical Performance and Mechanical Reproduction Rights) representing ZPÜ issued a related press release as well.
Levy rates on computers, notebooks, netbooks and workstations (1 January 20111 – 31 December 2016)
In the settlement agreement, BITKOM and ZPÜ agreed upon different copyright levy rates for private use (EURO 13,19 per PC and notebook, EURO 10,63 per netbook) and commercial use (EURO 4,00 per device or workstation). This settlement, however, does not cover copyright levies for Tablet PC's, which are subject to separate negotiations.
Yet another benefit for the members of the computer industry associations comes with this settlement – they benefit from a 20 per cent discount on the rates given above. Accordingly,the levy rates for members of BITKOM and the second IT industry association BCH ("Bundesverband der Computerhersteller e.V.", www.bch-verband.de) that joined the settlement as well (cf. information in the market, in German) decrease to
Consumer PC
|Business PC
(screen diagonal = max. 4,88 inch/ 12,4 cm)
(from 1 January 2014 onwards)
Impact of the "Padawan" decision of the Court of Justice of the European Union
The settlement and the willingness of both parties to get back to the table has been driven by a decision of the Court of Justice of the European Union (formerly the ECJ) ("CJEU") that made a distinction between computers for personal use and commercially used devices (decision of 21 October 2010, file no. C 467/08 – "Padawan"). In this decision, the CJEU took the view that an indiscriminate application of the private copying levy, in particular with respect to digital reproduction equipment, devices and media, made available to business users (and clearly reserved for uses other than private copying) is incompatible with the Copyright Directive 2001/29/EC.
The "Padawan" decision of the CJEU for the first time considered a standpoint and postulation of the computer industry that had been already raised in preceding negotiations and that was one of the crucial points of issue in the debate and legal dispute between 2002 and 2007.
Prospects of an amicable solution for printing devices in 2014
The agreement on computers and related devices gives new hope that other trouble spots may come to an amicable and mutual settlement as well. It was just a week ago, when the industry and the collecting societies agreed to get back to negotiations in a parallel legal dispute and proceedings concerning copyright levies for printers. A decision scheduled at the Federal Court of Justice ("FCJ", BGH) for 22nd January 2014 was postponed until 31st of April 2014, when the parties will meet for an oral hearing at the FCJ again. The dispute on copyright levies on printing devices has been one of the most longstanding quarrels related to copyright levies in Germany during the past two decades and has been subject to several proceedings at the FCJ and even the Constitutional Court in Germany.
For a better understanding: a short recap on copyright levies under German Copyright Law
In Germany, the reproduction of copyright protected material without the copyright holder's permission is allowed by law (section 53 of German Copyright Act) provided that the copy is made for personal purposes and that no copy protection measures (e.g. Digital Rights Management measures) are circumvented. In order to compensate the holders of copyrights for private copying, the German Copyright Act stipulates that manufacturers or importers of copying devices are obliged to pay levies on the devices that can be used for private copying. The levy system is based on the assumption that the manufacturers or importers of copying devices will pass on the levies to the consumers who will be finally charged for producing private copies.
Regarding the amount of levy the Copyright Act established a lump-sum levy system with fixed rates in 1985. It was inspired by the state of the art of that time focussing on cassette tape recorders, video tape recorders and respective storage media. No surprise, this system soon struggled to cope with new inventions like scanners, all-in-one copying machines, personal computers and other digital devices. The German levy system with fixed, predetermined levies turned out to be too static to respond to the technological progress. Also, this levy system got further complicated by a significant duplication and overlapping of levies (simultaneous request for levies for printing devices, scanners, computers multi-channel devices, copying machines, fax-machines).
The claims of the copyright holders are enforced by collecting societies who distribute the revenues to the individual rights owners after the collection from the distributors, retailers and/ or producers.
