A Remark on the "Micro Site" of the Administrative Council of the European Patent Organisation.

Several months ago, the

Administrative Council of the European Patent Organisation launched a so-called

"micro site" of its own under the umbrella of the

Official EPO web site. I have very much welcomed such a move. In particular, it looks far sighted that many Official documents open to the general public can now be disseminated easily. However, today it looks as if there would be some cause for a modest disappointment because of despite the fact that the recent session of the Administrative Council had been closed last week on Friday, November 26, 2004, up to today there is no word of any results visible on that micro site. I think that many people interested in Intellectual Property politics would warmly appreciate if the Administrative Council could exercise some more transparency, e.g. by publishing the agendas of the sessions in advance as well as delivering at least a press statement after closure of the session just on said micro site.
