“National legislation establishing a system under which the remuneration payable to authors in the event of public lending was calculated exclusively according to the number of borrowers registered with public establishments on the basis of a flat-rate amount fixed per borrower and per year was contrary to article 5(1) of Council Directive 92/100/EEC of 19 November 1992 on rental right and lending right and on certain rights related to copyright in the field of intellectual property (OJ 2006 L376, p28).”
