"we = decided practically unanimously with only two abstentions that our presid= ent explained at the commission a Rekonsultation requested", to SPE Koord= inatorin Maria Berger after the approximately three-hour meeting opposite= heise on-line. As soon as parliament president Josep Borrell Fontelles f= ollows that urge of the legal committee, the commission is requested to b= e concerned again with the guideline. Concretely the commission is to sen= d their original guideline suggestion either again to the European Union = parliament or submit a new.<BR><BR>Thus the legislation way was walked on= completely from the front. The delegates support themselves by article 5= 5 of the agenda of the European parliament. It plans a renewed fundamenta= l concerning of the delegates with a guideline suggestion among other thi= ngs, if the kind of the treated problem changes "crucially" or the parlia= ment assembles again after definition of its point of view by elections. = Appropriate requests had placed a group of 61 delegates as well as the Gr= eens.<BR><BR>The legal committee had looked for Charlie McCreevy in the a= fternoon first together with domestic market commissioner for ways out of= the muddled situation. The Irish had called recently the verabschiedung = of the legislation still pending "key measure" for the stimulation of inn= ovation and competition . With the meeting McCreevy spoke now of a "delic= ate affair". The of Luxembourg council presidency received in the meantim= e written promises for the Abnicken of the position of the Minister commi= ttee without further discussion during one of the next meetings. Naturall= y however a "constructional dialogue" is necessary between advice and par= liament for the reaching of an agreement. In the question, whether the co= mmission desire after a new start will follow, it did not want to commit = itself. It stressed that "all options were open". At the same time he sai= d the fact that the guideline was actually important since to a "consider= able juridical insecurity" leads everything else.<BR><BR>The European Uni= on advice is guessed/advised with its in May negotiated position into a d= ead end, since this limits the patenting barness of computer programs in = the opinion of countries such as Poland not sufficiently . The government= of the new entry country prevented therefore the Abnicken of the point o= f view of the Minister committee already several times . In addition, Den= mark blocked past week the official verabschiedung of the advice position= again .<BR><BR>Hartmut Pilch, executive committee of the promotion assoc= iation for a free Informationelle infrastructure ( FFII ), made opposite = heise on-line clear that he is for a revision of the advice position by t= he Minister committee. If the advice should not change its attitude howev= er, the way for a restart, hit now, is the secondarybest solution. The Au= strian Berger is pleased in particular that "we brought back movement int= o the thing. We must come in the long run to a legislation, which is clos= er at the point of view of the parliament than at the advice position ". = The European Union delegates had in September 2004 in 1. Reading a guidel= ine version submitted, which would put a latch plate for software patents= forward . Also for their land woman, the Green EH Lichtenberger, is the = current "courageous" initiative of the committee "a good beginning, but n= ot yet the lucky end in the question of patenting of software."<BR><BR>Th= e parliament correspondent for the guideline, the French socialist and ex= Prime Minister Michel Rocard, expressed themselves however against a res= tart. He fears that the changes from the 1. Reading so to be lost could c= ome and in particular a guideline still more harmful for the middle class= or the procedure completely adjust could. Also Piia Noora Kauppi, Schatt= enberichterstatterin for the people's party, had first doubts about a ren= ewed 1. Reading expressed.
