"si2010", Slovenia advocated a broader use of CC licences whose advantage is that their conditions are
known and compatible, which increases transparency and users’ legal protection. Efficient re-use with
regard to copyrighted works originating in the public sector is impossible to implement without an
appropriate arrangement of transfer of copyright to the material whose re-use is to be guaranteed by
public authorities. This is why it warrants a particular attention of the authorities. In relation to authors
employed in state administration, the state should, as a rule, also keep the permanent option of
management and disposal of copyrighted works that these authors created in the course of
employment. Along with such arrangements, a central state authority should be appointed competent
for managing the copyrights of the state, which would ensure a uniform licencing policy and eliminate
the need for each state authority to address these issues separately.
With respect to copyright and arrangements in intellectual property, an efficient implementation of
the Directive no. 2012/28/EU of the European Parliament and Council on certain permitted uses of
orphan works8 and the Directive (EU) 2014/26/EU on collective management of copyright and related
rights and multi-territorial licensing of rights in musical works for online uses in the internal market9 is
important for the development of cultural creativity (music, audio-visual culture) and accessibility of
cultural heritage.
5.4 Trust in Cyberspace
In the process of digitising society, which is characterised by the remarkable boom of the internet,
mobile technologies, social networks, cloud computing, location-based services, big data and the
collection and processing of personal data, the protection of human rights, particularly the right to
privacy of communication and information, is a particular challenge. Another risk in this respect is
found in innovative business models that exploit online opportunities for business without
intermediaries and new technologies of big data, as these are often based on comprehensive gathering
and processing of personal data. The challenges will grow even further with the development of the
omnipresent internet of things and cloud computing.
With a view to reducing and controlling the above-mentioned risks, Slovenia will digitise respecting
the principles of ensuring privacy and trust, as this is of key importance for the development of an
inclusive digital society. Only users who trust in digital technologies and cyber space will intensively
participate in the digital society, use e-services and contribute to the development of e-business and
the digitisation of the economy.
The principle behind development is to provide a high level of personal data protection and
communication privacy, taking account of proportionality to the objective.
More than ever, the following individual's rights should be protected in the digital society:
the right to privacy of communication and information,
the right to be informed of how personal data are gathered and processed,
the right to know whether personal data have been interfered with,
