The LATGA association is a non-profit non-governmental organisation that collectively administers the rights of copyright holders in various fields (music, literature, audiovisual, visual and drama), collects and distributes royalties for the use of works. The association LATGA represents authors, and AGATA – performers and phonogram producers.
