A call for evidence and a detailed questionnaire will be launched in the coming weeks on the official consultation page.

In parallel, a new study will begin to assess the economic impact of proposed measures—such as an EU-wide Secondary Publication Right and changes to copyright exceptions for scientific research—on stakeholders including publishers. It will be important for STM and its members to actively engage and provide input. The study will run through early 2026.

The impact assessment for the ERA Act must be completed by Q1 2026, with a formal proposal from the European Commission expected in Q3 2026.
