Question referred

Does Community law and, in particular, Council Directive 92/100/EEC (1) of 19 November 1992 on rental right and lending right and on certain rights related to copyright in the field of intellectual property permit the Member States to adopt a provision like Article 109.1 of Law 22/1987 of 11 November on Intellectual Property, which recognises the exclusive right of producers of phonograms published for commercial purposes to authorise the public communication of those phonograms and copies thereof?
