Dear Everyone Apologies for cross-posting. A big thank you! You did so well! Our campaign appears to have been successful! On February 14th the European Parliament approved the Common Position with a few amendments. Those most harmful to libraries were rejected. For more information visit <http://www.la-hq.org.uk/hot_news/hotnews.html#Setback> http://www.la-hq.org.uk/hot_news/hotnews.html#Setback to read Sandy Norman's report. The next stage after adoption by the Council of Ministers (which should go through) will be the process of the Directive's enactment in UK law (probably next year). Many thanks also to Eblida, IFLA, SCONUL, the Education Copyright Users Forum and the other member organisations of the LA Copyright Alliance which all played a most significant part in the lobby.
