This study provides a general overview on how the different EU Member States deal with the problem of audiovisual works. The research revealed that the majority of the European countries (EU27 and Norway) do not have mechanisms in place that allow the use of orphan works and in particular of audiovisual orphan works. Only the Czech Republic, France, Hungary, the Netherlands and the Scandinavian countries have implemented solutions to deal, at least partly, with orphan works.
