Eurimag

The IT Imaging and Printing

Industry in Europe

Everytime a product crosses an EU internal market border, a different levy applies. Copyright levy payments, large pending liabilities and high accruals put a tremendous burden on the European IT imaging and printing industry.

Achieving a modern EU framework to compensate right holders, which effectively balances the legitimate needs and rights of authors, consumers and the IT imaging and printing industry is EURIMAG's core objective.
