2605th session of the Council of the European Union (Competitiveness - Internal market, Industry and Research) on September 24, 2004.

The

2605th session of the Council of the European Union (Competitiveness - Internal market, Industry and Research) will take place on 24 September 2004 in the Justus Lipsius Building, Brussels, under the Presidency of Mr. Laurens Jan Brinkhorst, Dutch Minister for Economic Affairs and Ms Maria Van der Hoeven, Dutch Minister for Education, Science and Culture.

I am very curious to learn whether or not the Council will formally rubber-stamp the

political agreement on the Draft Directive on the patentability of computer-implemented inventions as reached on the

previous session of May 18, 2004. The

FFII e.V. had announced

to turn the table even before the Council has formally voted by influencing politicians in certain countries like NL, PL, HU, and PT.
