    SUBJECT: NEW IPR CERTIFICATION REGULATION TO HELP COMBAT
    PIRACY

    Summary
    -------

    ¶1. (SBU) The GOT issued a new certification regulation
    last month, requiring all businesses involved in the
    recording, sale, reproduction and distribution of
    copyright materials to be certified from the Ministry of
    Culture and Tourism (MOCT).  The regulation also imposes
    a Source Identification (SID) Code requirement on
    production and recording facilities.  The new MOCT
    Acting Copyrights Director General said the new
    regulation was a significant tool for the GOT in its
    efforts to curb piracy.  End Summary.

    ¶2. (SBU) The Ministry of Culture and Tourism issued a
    new certification regulation on April 18, which imposes
    a certification requirement on businesses undertaking
    distribution, recording, reproduction and sale of
    materials containing intellectual property and works of
    art.  The regulation also defines SID codes and requires
    production and recording facilities to submit SID code
    information in their certificate applications.
    Production and recording facilities are given a special
    status in the regulation, and will be subject to an
    inspection by the Ministry and related professional
    associations prior to the issuance of certificates.
    These facilities will also be required to inform the
    Ministry about changes in activity, equipment and
    capacity, and to include their SID code information in
    the materials they produce.  The MOCT's provincial
    directorates will issue and renew certificates, as well
    as audit the facilities.  The Ministry will be able to
    cancel certificates of businesses if, at any point, it
    detects a divergence from the activities contained in
    the certificate application.

    ¶3. (SBU) The new Ministry of Culture and Tourism
    Copyrights Department Acting Director General Tahsin
    Yilmaz told Econoff and Econ Specialist on May 4 that
    the MOCT was disappointed that Turkey remained on the
    U.S. Special 301 Priority Watch List for 2005.  Yilmaz
    maintained that the certification regulation would make
    a significant contribution to the Ministry's efforts to
    control piracy.  Yilmaz said a total of 200,000
    businesses would receive certificates with this
    regulation and would be included in the Ministry of
    Culture's database.  The Ministry of Culture has already
    placed computers in the provincial directorates in all
    cities and established a network connection with the
    Ministry, so that the Ministry can instantly track the
    new certificates issued for businesses throughout
    Turkey.  Yilmaz pointed out the special status given to
    the production and recording facilities in this
    regulation, and said the certification and auditing
    mechanisms would dramatically improve the Ministry's
    ability to combat pirate production.

    determined  as a result of inspections to  be  operating
