This copyright reform marks an important step towards supporting future investment in professional journalism and press publishing and we look forward to working with member states to secure a pragmatic and workable implementation at national level.”

Votes: 348 in favour, 274 against.

Next Steps:  the directive has to be formally approved by the Council. Expected 9 April (tbc).
