Copyright: the final furlong of the draft EU copyright directive
We are reaching the final stages of the adoption of the
draft EU copyright directive and the last chance to lobby
for a balanced directive. The upcoming key dates are
8-9 January in Brussels, when Enrico Boselli MEP,
the rapporteur, presents his report to the Legal Affairs
Committee. The plenary session in Strasbourg on
16-18 January will be an important opportunity to
brief MEPs on the response of the library community
to Boselli's report. Then the Legal Affairs Committee
will vote on the report on 29-30 January in Brussels.
And finally, the European Parliament will vote on
the directive during their plenary session in
Strasbourg on 12-15 February. EBLIDA and EFPICC
will be present at all these key events and we will
maintain our high visibility until the end. Perhaps
the 14 February will acquire a new meaning within
the library community!
The EBLIDA and EFPICC position papers are
available in several Community languages
