The kick-off meeting of the European Aggregator of Legal Offers Project took place at OHIM.
The aim of the project is to build a single portal which enables consumers to identify legal offers – i.e. where to buy legally- for music, films, games, books, TV and sports events for all the European Union.
Representatives from the Ministries of Culture of the four pilot countries attended the event. This set of initial countries is formed by two countries that already have a national aggregator (UK and France) and two that do not have one (Latvia and Portugal).
One of the outcomes of the project will be a “toolkit” that will help to build a national aggregator hosting the legal offers available in a given country. The pilot phase is expected to finish on March 2016, after which the general delivery of the project to the rest of the countries will take place.
