EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Order)

The Performances (Reciprocal Protection) (Convention Countries) Order 1994 (S.I. 1994/264) designated certain countries, all parties to the International Convention for the Protection of Performers, Producers of Phonograms and Broadcasting Organisations (the Rome Convention) (Cmnd. 2425), as enjoying reciprocal protection under Part II of the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 (rights in performances).
Bulgaria, Hungary, Iceland, Jamaica and Moldova have become parties to the Rome Convention since the making of the 1994 Order. This Order revokes and replaces the 1994 Order to include those countries in the list of designated countries.
The Order also makes provision consequent upon the entry into force for the United Kingdom of the Agreement Establishing the World Trade Organisation (Cm. 2556-59, 2561-69, 2571-74) and the more limited reciprocal obligations in respect of rights in performances arising therefrom under the Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights which are to take effect on 1st January 1996.
