"Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works protects the author's rights (copyright) on their work. The protected works have to be fixed on material support. The Convention only protects individual rights. Works which are not fixed on a material support (such as verbal expressions i.e., folk tales, songs, etc.) are not protected".

fixation of the work in a medium
La notion d’« œuvre » renvoie à toute forme d’expression matérialisée et originale. La fixation à un support matériel constitue une condition sine qua non de la production d’une œuvre. Ainsi, « produire » une œuvre fait référence à une première matérialisation et la « reproduire » à toute fixation matérielle ultérieure qui s’inspire (au sens causal) de la première fixation. La fixation à un nouveau support matériel constitue donc l’élément fondamental de l’acte de « reproduire [. . .] sous une forme matérielle quelconque » ce qui existait déjà sous une première forme matérielle. Un tel comportement relève du plagiat et constitue une violation des droits d’auteur trouvés au par. 3(1) L.d.a.
The concept of “work” refers to any materialized and original form of expression. Fixation of the work in a medium is a condition sine qua non of the production of a work. Therefore, “producing” a work refers to the initial materialization and “reproducing” it refers to any subsequent material fixation that is modelled (in the causal sense) on its first fixation. Fixation of the work in a new medium is therefore the fundamental element of the act of “reproduc[ing] . . . in any material form whatever” what already existed in a first, original material form. That type of conduct amounts to plagiarism and constitutes an infringement of copyright under s. 3(1) C.A.

I agree with Kim: to start with, it really begs the indefinite article, and as he says, it simply reeks of a translation from FR.

tangible medium of expression
As Kim indicated, this appears to be a bad translation from a French text.
In English, the proper phrase is "fixed in a tangible medium of expression."
Here is a website that explains what is meant by the phrase in more detail:
