The purpose is to have an exchange of information on collective agreements in the creative sectors and the challenges creators may face in relation to collective bargaining as a tool to improve their remuneration conditions. This should help the European Commission to gain a better insight into concrete situations faced by creators and possibilities that can be explored in terms of collective action, also against the background of the findings of recent European Commission's studies on the fair remuneration of authors and performers.
