Dialogue: 0,0:00:00.20,0:00:03.15,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,[Interviewer, off] OK, I'm at WIPO, on July 19th,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:03.15,0:00:07.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,where we're talking about copyright limitations and exceptions.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:07.96,0:00:10.46,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,One of the issues here is for blind people.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:10.46,0:00:13.07,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I'm here with a member of the Switzerland delegation.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:13.07,0:00:15.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I was wondering if you could tell people who you are
Dialogue: 0,0:00:15.68,0:00:18.42,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and what you do for the Switzerland government,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:18.42,0:00:22.41,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and how things are going on this negotiation
Dialogue: 0,0:00:22.41,0:00:25.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and what really is the position of the Switzerland government.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:26.78,0:00:28.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,[Emanuel Meyer] OK, my name is Emanuel Meyer
Dialogue: 0,0:00:28.82,0:00:35.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and I work as head legal copyright and neighboring rights in Switzerland.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:35.48,0:00:41.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We're representing Switzerland here at WIPO, the World International Property Organization.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:41.48,0:00:49.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,With regard to an instrument for the blind, it's a clear position for Switzerland that
Dialogue: 0,0:00:49.67,0:00:58.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,all barriers for access for people with reading disabilities, people with handicaps,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:58.22,0:01:01.55,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,should be removed: we have that in our Constitution.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:01.55,0:01:04.92,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So it's no question for us that we will do anything
Dialogue: 0,0:01:04.92,0:01:09.95,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to improve the situation for people with disabilities worldwide.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:09.95,0:01:13.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,[Interviewer] So it's really a - I think it's a surprise to other people
Dialogue: 0,0:01:13.16,0:01:16.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that Switzerland will be supporting this treaty on exceptions.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:16.04,0:01:20.07,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Er - not, no, I shouldn't say everybody - what I mean, some people here
Dialogue: 0,0:01:20.07,0:01:20.91,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,[Meyer] Right.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:20.91,0:01:23.73,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,[Interviewer] Some people here, I think, didn't even really appreciate
Dialogue: 0,0:01:23.73,0:01:26.66,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,how supportive the Switzerland government was of this initiative.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:26.69,0:01:29.34,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Again, it's a good surprise, don't get me wrong.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:29.37,0:01:33.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,[Meyer] Well, thank you. I like to think of Switzerland as a country
Dialogue: 0,0:01:33.33,0:01:36.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that not only has banks, but also a humanitarian tradition.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:36.70,0:01:43.16,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And this, in my opinion, lies within this humanitarian tradition that Switzerland is proud of.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:43.16,0:01:48.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,[Interviewer] What is your opinion about the difference between doing this as a treaty
Dialogue: 0,0:01:48.26,0:01:52.39,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,or some kind of a softer recommendation
Dialogue: 0,0:01:52.39,0:01:56.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that doesn't obligate people to make changes in the laws?
Dialogue: 0,0:01:58.79,0:02:03.63,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,[Meyer] Well, quite frankly, I don't really understand
Dialogue: 0,0:02:03.63,0:02:08.33,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,why some people are not comfortable with a treaty.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:08.33,0:02:13.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But this might be due to cultural differences or internal things.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:13.90,0:02:16.55,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I have not really an idea.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:16.55,0:02:19.89,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We would be ready for a treaty, in any case.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:20.81,0:02:22.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,[Interviewer] You know, thank you very much,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:22.99,0:02:25.52,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and is there anything you'd like to add before I finish the interview?
Dialogue: 0,0:02:26.20,0:02:28.55,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,[Meyer] No, thank you, not at the moment.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:28.55,0:02:30.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,[Interviewer] Thank you very much.
