The Charter was issued on the 13th October, 2005. The Charter has subsequently influenced thinking on Intellectual Property Law, and in particular, heavily influenced a subsequent copyright manifesto Copyright for Creativity A Declaration for Europe.

It is the source of art, science, innovation and economic development. Without it, individuals and societies stagnate.
