Dimi,

What's your assessment of where the balance in the plenary might be on this?

Is there any chance the plenary (with people from ITRE etc, and not such 
an over-representation of the French) might go for something more like 
Wikstrom's amendment ?

Or something close to the compromise AM that was supposedly being worked 
on ?
