1.Does Directive 2001/29/EC, (1) in particular Article 5(2)(b) and (5) thereof, provide any assistance in determining who should be regarded under national law as owing the ‘fair compensation’ referred to in Article 5(2)(b)? If so, what assistance does it provide?
2.In a case of distance selling in which the buyer is established in a different Member State to that of the seller, does Article 5(5) of Directive 2001/29/EC require national law to be interpreted so broadly that a person owing the ‘fair compensation’ referred to in Article 5(2)(b) of the directive who is acting on a commercial basis owes such compensation in at least one of the Member States involved in the distance selling?
