35As the Advocate General observed in point 36 of his Opinion, it is apparent from the Explanatory Memorandum to the Proposal for a Council Directive on rental right, lending right, and on certain rights related to copyright (COM(90) 586 final), which preceded the adoption of Directive 92/100, that, for the purposes of that directive, it was necessary to refer to the concepts appearing, inter alia, in the Rome Convention, since the terms used in that directive were fundamental in the area of copyright and related rights and their meaning had already been harmonised to a considerable extent indirectly by treaty law.
