As an exception to the provisions of the first three paragraphs of Article L. 324-17, the approved organisations mentioned in Article L. 134-3 use the sums collected for the exploitation of unavailable books and which could not be distributed because the recipients could not be identified or found before the expiry of the period provided for in the last paragraph of article L. 321-1.
The amount and use of these sums are the subject, each year, of a report by the collective management organisations to the minister responsible for culture.
