The Commission (DG MARKT) published their report on the "Public Consultation on the Review of the EU Copyright Rules" yesterday [1][2].

I haven't had time to read through the 100 pages in detail, but since the major struggle is whether the Commission should  legislate on more harmonisation or not and having a universal FoP exception would be an act of harmonisation, I mined the document for just that.

Pro harmonisation:

• Institutional users generally consider that territoriality of copyright creates problems in particular in the area of exceptions, where a higher level of harmonisation is needed.
• Many respondents consider that market-led solutions have not proven to be effective and that harmonisation measures
• [on collective management] Many respondents also point out that there are already national systems of identifiers, and that some degree of harmonisation, standardisation and interoperability could be desirable here. 
• Institutional users generally support copyright harmonisation which implies making exceptions mandatory and harmonising their scope to a greater extent.
• A minority of authors and performers would seek a harmonisation or clarification of  the existing exceptions
• [Intermediaries/service providers] Many respondents from this group argue for more harmonisation and legal certainty in the area of exceptions.
• Representatives of academia, civil society or think-tanks generally consider that the optional nature of the exceptions is problematic and that exceptions should be further harmonised.

Contra harmonisation:

• Film producers generally consider that the current EU copyright rules should not be changed
• [Authors/performers] Most respondents in these stakeholder groups are against any further harmonisation, which they consider would risk a weakening of copyright protection in Europe at the expense of creators.
• Collective Management Organisations consider that the territoriality of exceptions does not constitute a problem for right holders, businesses or consumers
• Educational publishers and representatives of the software industry warn that a further harmonisation [...] could undermine the role of licences
  

Neutral or split on harmonisation:

• Academics (depending on the specific question this groups seems divided)
  
• Member States (some want more harmonisation, others want to keep options)
