nevertheless it is important to note that,although article 9(2) of the bene convention allows countries to create the exceptions in their domestic law as a tool to maintain this balance, it also contains the three-step test which provides the conditions to be met for copyright exceptions under national copyright laws and imposes constraints on the provision of these exceptions. in this,article 9(2) requires that the exceptions to the right of reproduction in the countries of the union must:(1) be limited to certain special special cases;(2) not conflict with a normal exploitation of the work;and (3) not unreasonably prejudice the legitimate interests of the author. national legislators must ensure that the exceptions under national copyright laws comply with this test.
