17 de febrero: Dia decisivo para la legislación de las patentes de software
10 feb 2005
El 17 de febrero puede ser un dia decisivo para la legislación de las patentes de software. Aunque el comite legislativo del parlamento europeo aconseja al presidente del parlamento recomenzar el proceso legislativo, la nueva agenda pone en peligro este proceso. En la agenda del encuentro de los ministros de economia y hacienda el 17.2. esta la aprobación de la vieja propuesta sobre patentes de software. El FFII (Fundación por una Infraestructura libre de Información) organiza para el mismo dia una manifestación en Bruselas y propone presionar a los gobiernos, la comision y los diputados. En seguida, una explicación detallada de la situación y propuestas para impedir la aprobación de la legislación de las patentes de software:
It is time to stand up for European democracy. Talk to your government. Join the demonstration. There will be a major confrontation in Brussels on February 17th 2005 ( see http://demo.ffii.org/demo0502/ ).

Last week, the European Parliament's Legal Affairs (JURI) Committee asked to restart the legislative process on software patents, but this request is still in danger:

- The EU Council is planning to adopt its outdated "political agreement" on software patents at a meeting of the finance ministers on February 17th. Poland can not be expected to stop it again on its own. Another country has to take the initiative (but will receive support from Poland).

- Once the Council adopts its "agreement", the Commission may choose to ignore the Parliament's request for a restart of the procedure.

- We can not be sure that under such circumstances the European Parliament's Conference of Presidents (which also meets on the 17th) will opt for a confrontation.

Thus it is still possible that we end up with a 2nd reading, with all its dangers[2].

In this critical situation we need your help.

If you reply to this mail and tick any of the following items, we will try to provide some assistance and coordination.

[ ] I will try to contact my national government and ask them to oppose a Council meeting agenda containing the software patent directive, at least not before the Commission has answered the European Parliament's request, or/and to ask for renegotiation in the Council (B-item).

[ ] I will try to contact the European Commission and ask them to answer the European Parliament's request ASAP.

[ ] I will try to come to Brussels on February 17th to join the demonstration and press conference (sleeping see http://mm.ffii.org/Demo050217EnSleep)

[ ] I would like to call on MEPs to join the demo / press conference

[ ] I would like to contact media and press agencies.

[ ] I will help organise car pools or busses from my region to Brussels.

[ ] I will place a banner or protest page on my website and register my participation via the aktiv web interface[3]

[ ] I will contact some important websites and ask them to participate

[ ] I will donate (http://donate.ffii.org/)

We hope to hear from you and to see you in Brussels.

No te canses. Aquí no se enteran de estas cosas. Ni de muchas otras. Así les luce el pelo. Lo malo es que así nos lucirá también a los demás. TeneMOS lo que SE merecen.
