Texte : A new agreement providing for full liberalisation of the book market will come into effect in Denmark on 1 January 2011, which has the consensus of the government, the Danish People's Party, the Social Democratic Party, the Liberal Alliance, the Danish Social-Liberal Party and the Socialist People's Party.

Previously, the Danish Publishers' Association and the Danish Competition Authority determined book prices through a voluntary bilateral agreement - in practice, a fixed-price exemption from competition law.

In preparation, an examination into the status of the book maret and future challenges, such as digital commerce with e-books and audiobooks, is to be prepared by the Danish Publishers' Association, the Danish Booksellers' Association, the authors' associations and the Danish Arts Council's expert committees on literature, with secretarial support from the Ministry of Culture.
