Friends, we may have our disagreements with this songwriter from the 1990s, but let's stay polite!

To look on the bright side, at least this means that we'll win the Reiss-Engelhorn Museum v. Wikimedia Foundation lawsuit (due to article 14 of the directive). As to the rest of it, quite disappointing indeed.

So close. More work to do towards national implementation. We'll have a statement out later today.

Thanks for your help, everyone!

Hello all,

Today after 12:30 we expect the European Parliament in Strasbourg to vote on the copyright file. 

First there will be a vote on whether to allow amendments or just vote the entire package as is. Only if there is a majority for that will votes on deleting Articles 11 and 13 be allowed. I am attaching a voting list with recommendations on Article 13, so you can follow the vote.


What happens if the reform is passed as is:
The Council will nod this off at a General Council meeting on 9 April. Then it will be published in the official journal and Member States will have 24 months to transpose the new rules. In this case we will work on national implementations. There is a lot we can to remedy *some* of the effects of Article 13 & open the door to future litigation. We can also widen the gains some of the exceptions provide at least nationally.

What happen is the European Parliament amends the reform:
The entire text goes to Council and then the Member States governments need to decide if they accept it as is or want to further amend it and negotiate with the EP. In this case we focus on the EP elections, as a move before them would be unlikely.

Very hypothetical:
If a country, such as Germany for instance, suddenly changes its behaviour on 9 April, it could theoretically still stop the package. But copyright is already agreed upon in Council and put down as an "A item" for the 9 April meeting. A items are considered purely procedural, get nodded off and not even discussed (as agreement and a vote have already taken place). There is only one time, to my knowledge, that such an A item was pulled back. The Software Patents Directive. I think it is extremely unlikely to happen again.

Thanks everyone for you help and support.

Cheers from Strasbourg,
Dimi
