The Government opens the door to the return of Google News to Spain seven years after its closure

Spain will have new regulations on copyright and opens the door to the return of Google News to our country.

This will be the case after the

, planned by Brussels to begin to be implemented in the member states since last June.

This movement, after intense negotiations between the media, technology and the Ministry of Culture partially nullifies the AEDE canon.

That is,

from which it indexes content on its platform.

A modification that, according to the European Commission's deadlines, should have occurred on June 7.

The Google news aggregator had ceased its activity in Spain in 2014 with the entry into force of the new Intellectual Property Law.

Specifically, the conflict was in article 32.2 of that regulation, which established the AEDE canon, which forced Google to pay obligatorily for linking and displaying any media content to the association of editors and authors Cedro.

During these last seven years, the negotiations between the parties have been continuous without reaching an agreement and leaving Spain as the first country in the world to close the Google News service. Finally, with the agreement in Brussels, and almost five months later than expected, the approval of the Council of Ministers of the European Union regulations opens the doors for his return in the absence of confirmation from the technology giant.

The new legislation approved opens, according to a statement from the Ministry of Culture, "a new related right for press publishers and authors" and guarantees "a right with its own entity,

regarding to the online uses of its press publications, vis-à-vis information society service providers ".

"It seems that we had to make a great revolution in all copyright, but

" said the Minister of Culture last week at the presentation of the Piracy Observatory and Consumption Habits and Digital Content in the National Archaeological Museum, in statements collected by Europa Press, on the modification of the law.

According to the words of the head of the department, in the event held at the National Archaeological Museum, this new regulation was going to focus "especially" on news aggregators and their influence on the print and digital press, as has been the case, although Iceta He also recalled

."

For this reason, in his presentation in the Congress of Deputies in the Culture Commission, the minister assured that coupled with the transposition of European regulations his department would carry out a regulation of the Spanish Copyright Office, but without fixing a specific date or the lines to follow in said project.
