The Irish Presidency was hoping that a new draft of the EU's Software Patents Directive would be approved without discussion on Monday, but an objection from Luxembourg gave the issue an airing on Tuesday, though this seems to have little if any effect on the outcome.
Apparement ils disent qu'il repassera à l'assemblée en septembre , mais il y a un passage que je n'ai pas bien compris :
The Directive will now be sent back to the European Parliament for another vote there in the autumn as the different bodies of the EU engage in a game of legislative ping-pong. While observers expect vociferous lobbying from open-source and developer groups, reversing the Council's vote will be difficult, according to James Heald of the Foundation for a Free Information Infrastructure (FFII), a not-for-profit organisation that promotes the rights of technology entrepreneurs and developers.
"The catch is that if the Parliament still doesn't like software patents, it has to have a majority of all MEPs to put its amendments, which means that in practice they need a two-to-one or three-to-one majority in the chamber," said Heald.
C'est quoi un MEP ? Et une majorité "two-to-one" ca veut dire 2 contre 1, soit plus de 60% ?
