Hei,
dette er meget alvorlig. Norske politikere og alle som kan krype og gå bør
nå mobilisere.
DETTE MÅ SIMPELTHEN IKKE SKJE
==========================
The EU Council of Ministers is demonstrating that the concept of democracy
is alien to the EU. This Wednesday, the Irish Presidency managed to secure
a qualified majority for a counter-proposal to the software patents
directive, with only a few countries - including Belgium and Germany -
showing resistance. The new text proposes to discard all the amendments
from the European which would limite patentability. Instead the lax
language of the original Commission proposal is to be reinstated in its
entirety, with direct patentability of computer programs, data structures
and process descriptions added as icing on the cake. The proposal is now
scheduled to be confirmed without discussion at a meeting of ministers on
17-18 May, unless one of the Member States changes its vote. In a
remarkable sign of unity in times of imminent elections, members of the
European Parliament from all groups across the political spectrum are
condemning this blatant disrespect for democracy in Europe.
