The Commission felt that in general the common position represented a balanced compromise. However, it would have preferred the text to have maintained the non-voluntary licensing arrangements recommended in its amended proposal. It also regretted that the exceptions to copyright and the sui generis right were not completely harmonised. The Commission therefore stated that, in the context of the report required under Article 16 (revision clause), it would consider the possibility of a more thorough harmonisation of the exceptions to copyright and the sui generis right, particularly in light of the use made by Member States of the directive's provisions in this respect.
