Following several years of fact-finding and feasibility studies, including the WIPO fact-finding mission on folklore to the Yunnan Province in 2002, the Draft Law of the People’s Republic of China on the Protection of Traditional and Folk Culture had been formulated by the Education, Science, Culture and Public Health Committee of the National People’s Congress (NPC) in 2003, which had since been distributed for comments by relevant parties and was now ready for submission to the NPC Standing Committee for its consideration.
Dans le domaine de la législation relative à la protection des expressions du folklore ou expressions culturelles traditionnelles, des efforts considérables ont été déployés tant par les législateurs que par les chercheurs depuis la promulgation de la Loi sur le droit d’auteur.
