Not later than at the end of the third year after the date referred to in paragraph 1, and every three years thereafter, the Commission shall submit to the European Parliament, the Council and the Economic and Social Committee a report on the application of this Directive, in which, inter alia, on the basis of specific information supplied by the Member States, it shall examine in particular the application of the sui generis right, including Articles 8 and 9, and shall verify especially whether the application of this right has led to abuse of a dominant position or other interference with free competition which would justify appropriate measures being taken, including the establishment of non-voluntary licensing arrangements.
Najpozneje po koncu tretjega leta po datumu iz odstavka 1, nato pa vsake tri leta, Komisija predloži Evropskemu parlamentu, Svetu in Ekonomsko-socialnemu odboru poročilo o uporabi te direktive, v katerem med drugim na podlagi specifičnih informacij, ki jih priskrbijo države članice, preuči zlasti uporabo pravice sui generis, vključno s členom 8 in 9, ter posebej preveri, ali je uporaba te pravice vodila k zlorabi prevladujočega položaja ali drugačnemu poseganju v svobodno konkurenco, kar bi upravičilo uporabo ustreznih ukrepov, vključno z vzpopstrvaitvijo pravne ureditve glede prisilnega podeljevanja licenc.
