Subject to the provisions of international conventions to which France is a party, in the event that, after consultation with the Minister of Foreign Affairs, it is established that a State does not provide works disclosed for the first time in France in any form whatsoever with sufficient and effective protection, works disclosed for the first time on the territory of that State do not benefit from the protection recognised in terms of copyright by French legislation.
However, neither the integrity nor the authorship of such works may be infringed.
In the event provided for in paragraph 1 above, copyright shall be paid to organisations of general interest designated by decree.
