The Prime Minister signed a decree appointing members to the sanctions college of the Control Commission of copyright management organizations and neighboring rights, following a report from the Minister of Culture. This college is part of the Control Commission, which operates under the Court of Auditors. The new members include Laurence Franceschini and Hugo Bevort, both State Counselors, appointed by the Vice President of the Council of State. Christine de Mazières and Daniel Vasseur, Master Counselors, were appointed by the First President of the Court of Auditors. Stéphanie Kass-Danno and Bernard Chevalier, both from the Court of Cassation, were also named. Laurence Franceschini and Christine de Mazières had previously served in the sanctions college. Each member's term lasts five years and can be renewed once. The college is responsible for handling cases that may involve violations of the Intellectual Property Code, and it can act on its own initiative. The Control Commission also includes a separate control college of five members, appointed by the Minister of Culture. In a separate development, a constitutional law proposal aims to include "respect for the use, promotion and protection of regional languages" in the French Constitution. This proposal was submitted to the National Assembly on October 5th. Meanwhile, efforts to preserve the National Center of the Book (CNL) as a public institution are growing, with support from the Charter of Authors and Illustrators of Youth and the League of Professional Authors and Illustrators. They are urging publishers to take a clear stance on the issue. In Germany, Wolfram Weimer, the federal government's delegate for Culture and Media, is facing controversy after excluding three bookstores from an institutional prize, labeling them "extremists." New information is challenging his defense. In other countries, the French cultural network, in partnership with the French Institute, has launched 12 calls for applications for research and creation residencies. Some of these focus specifically on writing and literary translation, while others are multidisciplinary. The French Language Enrichment Commission is working on vocabulary related to energy and ecological challenges, including terms for batteries. Anne Gérard will be appointed to lead the Regional Directorate of Cultural Affairs (Drac) for the Grand Est region, starting in November 2027. In Russia, restrictions on books by authors labeled as "foreign agents" or "extremists" are not uniformly applied, with some books being placed in reserves or removed from public access in certain regions. The 2027 finance bill is expected to further reduce funding for cultural initiatives, with the government presenting its budget in a challenging economic climate.
