The Commission wanted to harmonize the rules and scrap levies on most hardware….The Commission’s climb down sparked an angry reaction from the companies and industry groups pushing for a change to the system…. several large European companies now intend to file official complaints with the Commission that will likely result in a wave of infringement procedures against certain member states. ”The reform of copyright levies would then move from the European executive to the European Court of Justice,” CLRA said in its statement. – Infoworld

FFIIs kommentarer

(från ffii: )
Hintjens continues: ”I am astounded that the EPO, a patent administration body who blatantly lobby for the patent industry, can be allowed to participate in a so-called SME task force. It was a farce. This report is a mockery and an insult to all those who participated in good faith.”
