More on measures and procedures to ensure the enforcement of intellectual property rights.

Heise Newsticker

reports that

FFII is currently hosting

Document 16289/03 dated December 19, 2003 with a partially publicly accessible consolidated/annotated text of the "Proposal for a Directive of the European Parliament and of the Council on measures and procedures to ensure the enforcement of intellectual property rights". The paper gives an impression of the political aims of the past Italian Presidency (which has terminated by December 31, 2003) intending to criminalise IP violations to a somewhat greater extent than the

amendments proposed by the Legal Affairs Committee of the European Parliament had suggested. See also my earlier posting

here.
