Thanks Stevie! We've been working closely with Dimi on this. As the
consultation deadline was Wednesday (just gone) I'm not sure what more we
can do for now but will see what emerges from the consultation...the
resources on the wiki were very useful, thanks :)

Hello all,
The harmonisation is back on the agenda and needs seeing off. That being
said, I worked on the issue last spring I think it was, led by the amazing
James Heald and Owen Blacker.
We managed to draw together a consortium of fellow travellers to sign a
joint letter to The Times, supplemented by a separate letter from
Wikimedia UK.
There should still be some resources on the wiki but if anyone needs
anything else get in touch with Dimi. He knows this inside out, and all the
players.
Also may be worth getting in touch with Ros Lynch from the IPO for the
inside track, too.

Hi Gordon
Yes, this is great!
The EU consultation on harmonisation ended on Wednesday. Wikimedia UK
responded, and also encouraged other individuals and organisations to do
so. I'm not sure exactly what the timescale is now though in terms of any
new policy or legislation.
Cheers
Lucy

"Freedom of panorama has been voted today in the Belgian parliament.
A majority voted in favour of freedom of panorama, including commercial
use."
Good news from across the Channel!
:-)
I thought there were moves to harmonise this issue across the EU?
