Sony/ATV, PRS for Music, GEMA and SOLAR have extended their agreement for the management of pan-European licenses for Sony/ATV and EMI Music Publishing's Anglo-American repertoire.

SOLAR is a jointly-owned subsidiary of PRS for Music and GEMA and the administration of the licenses will be carried out in partnership with ICE, the joint venture between PRS, GEMA and Swedish society STIM. ICE is a pioneer in multi-territory online licensing and administration of music copyright and has evolved into an integrated processing hub.
