References for a preliminary ruling — Hof van beroep te Brussel — Interpretation of Article 1(2)(a) and (b) and Article 2 of Council Directive 93/83/EEC of 27 September 1993 on the coordination of certain rules concerning copyright and rights related to copyright applicable to satellite broadcasting and cable retransmission (OJ 1993 L 248, p. 15) — Exclusive right of the author to authorise communication of his works — Transmission by a broadcasting organisation of programme-carrying signals to a digital television supplier via an independent satellite — Subsequent retransmission of those signals — Authorisation of the copyright holders
Article 2 of Council Directive 93/83/EEC of 27 September 1993 on the coordination of certain rules concerning copyright and rights related to copyright applicable to satellite broadcasting and cable retransmission must be interpreted as requiring a satellite package provider to obtain authorisation from the right holders concerned for its intervention in the direct or indirect transmission of television programmes, such as the transmission at issue in the main proceedings, unless the right holders have agreed with the broadcasting organisation concerned that the protected works will also be communicated to the public through that provider, on condition, in the latter situation, that the provider’s intervention does not make those works accessible to a new public.
