The agreement, lasting five years, comes to regulate the royalties for the represented repertoire of the Organisation, regarding in general the cultural events that have taken place or will take place in open or closed spaces, in the period from 2023 to 2027.
With this agreement, the Cretan Associations, members of the Panhellenic Federation Of Cretan Cultural Associations, are provided with preferential charges on the AUTODIA Bill. The Federation will grant the relevant membership certificate to the Association that wishes to benefit from the terms of the mutually beneficial agreement for the event it intends to organize.
At the same time, every member can benefit from the use of the new my.autodia.gr platform, which concerns the electronic issuance of a public music performance license directly by the user in an easy, fast and reliable way.
The PANHELLENIC FEDERATION OF CRETAN CULTURAL ASSOCIATIONS (P.O.P.K.S.) was founded in 1984 and unites approximately 270 Cretan Associations throughout the country, carrying out numerous events and initiatives as the most recognized coordinating body of Cretans everywhere. Among its purposes are included: a) The preservation of the ancestral cultural heritage and the democratic traditions of the Cretan people, b) The study, promotion and monitoring of the problems of Crete and the effort to solve them and c) The promotion and implementation of the spirit of Syncretism with the cooperation and the coordination of the action of the Cretan Associations.
