Dear Dimitris GLEZOS [1],

1) The vote in the Second Reading on the software patent
directive is in 11-13 work days, on 5-7 July.

2) Lobbying in Brussels is heavy, currently there is much
pressure on MEPs by pro-software-patent companies. The pro-patent
lobby has about 30 lobbyists more than we, mostly wearing the hat
of SMEs.

3) Your action is needed, at http://noepatents.eu.org/ we
maintain a list of what you can do as an SME and as an individual.
Especially we advise to see your MEP soon and, if you can
speak for an SME, to visit the Economic Majority conference
29 June Brussels http://www.economic-majority.com/konf050629/.
Please decide to come the conference early, so that a date with
your MEP or with his/her assistant can be arranged in advance.

With kind regards,

Hartmut Pilch, Gérald Sédrati-Dinet, FFII
