Hello everyone,

As you may know, the European Commission is currently conducting a consultation on copyright. They have posted a series of questions and are seeking answers from groups that have an interest, such as Wikimedia chapters. 

European Wikimedia chapters recently signed a statement of intent to work collectively in tis area under an umbrella known as the Free Knowledge Advocacy Group EU. This is a really good opportunity for Wikimedians to have a say on this important area. 

A page has been started on Meta where Wikimedians can take a look at the EC's questions and respond collaboratively. The page can be seen at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/European_Commission_copyright_consultation and there is a tentative deadline of 27 January for the discussion to finish. Please do get involved!

Thanks and regards,

Stevie
