The payment of the price as set out in the specific contracts is deemed to also include any fees  payable to the contractor in relation to the licensing of  pre-existing rights to the Union,  including for all forms of exploitation and of use of the  results .  Where  implementation of the FWC requires that the contractor uses  pre-existing materials belonging to the contracting authority, the contracting authority may request that the  contractor signs an adequate licence agreement. Such use by the contractor will not entail any  transfer of rights to the contractor and is limited to the needs of this FWC.  22
