Judgment_paragraph 27 · Fundación Gala-Salvador Dalí and Visual Entidad de Gestión de Artistas Plásticos (VEGAP) v Société des auteurs dans les arts graphiques et plastiques (ADAGP) and Others (C-518/08)

27In that regard, it should be borne in mind that the adoption of Directive 2001/84 is based on two objectives, namely first, as is apparent from recitals 3 and 4 in the preamble to that directive, to ensure that authors of graphic and plastic works of art share in the economic success of their original works of art and, second, as recitals 9 and 10 in the preamble to the directive indicate, to put an end to the distortions of competition on the market in art, as the payment of a royalty in certain Member States might lead to displacement of sales of works of art into those Member States where the resale right is not applied.
