The core activity of directory and database publishers consists mainly in collecting and organising data in an efficient and rational way, thus providing high added-value to the raw information in terms of access, searchability and use. Directory and database publishers need to assure users that the sought data is accurate, up-to-date and reliable. The new possibilities offered by on-line publishing make it easier to achieve these goals. They are creating gateways to the emerging Information Society, putting the right people in contact in the right place over the Internet, and fostering the development of electronic commerce in Europe.They are, however, concerned that there should be a secure legal framework which provides adequate copyright protection for their work and data.

EADP therefore closely follows the
development
of the European legislation relating to copyright, data protection, electronic commerce,
liberalisation of the telecommunications market, advertising, internet
developments and other matters of interest
to our members.
