[EURO-Discuss] ACTA Letter to the members of the European Parliament

[Wolf Ludwig]

Thanks Rudi and Patrick for your additional infos on the matter! May I invite others to post ACTA or other user rights related infos from initiatives in their countries on this list? What I get to know via my various channels is MUCH more than what is exchanged on this list ;-) Please be more pro-active in sharing infos!

Thanks and kind regards,
Wolf

>On February 2 ISOC Belgium addressed a message to a group of Belgian MEPs as well as to the Belgain minister of Economy and Telecommunications on the ongoing debates around ACTA. We got very quickly some response from the EU MEPs indicating us that at that moment nothing was yet decided even if BE MEPs had voted positively. They also mentioned us that our remarks and input would certainly influence their position. Furthermore, this was also the lever for the Belgian minister to request a study about the impact and consequences for Belgian government and citizens. So, we may say that our action at national level has been very positive.
