10/07/2008 Reply to campaign concerning vote on IMCO &amp;amp; ITRE of Telecoms package
"Committee on Economic &amp;amp; Monetary Affairs" "Thank you for your email regarding your concerns with the Telecoms package. This report is currently being debated and voted upon at the Committee stage. I am not a member of the Internal Market and Consumer Protection Committee (IMCO) or the Industry, Research and Energy Committee (ITRE), which are the Committees currently dealing with the Report, however I forwarded your email to the Group Advisor who will take your concerns under consideration for my colleagues who are on these committees. Once the report is voted upon and finalised at the Committee level it will be debated and voted upon in the Plenary session. This will most likely be during one of the autumn sessions." "I have received a considerable number of emails regarding the amendments to the Telecoms Package, file sharing and Intellectual Property Rights and interest in this Package is very high. If there is an umbrella organisation or spokesperson who you are aware of that I could meet to discuss this issue I would be delighted to do so. As I would like to be fully briefed before the Plenary debate and vote I also welcome an information on this issue that you would like me to be aware of. I look forward to hearing from you." "If you have any further comments or questions please do not hesitate to contact me."
