Concerning the amendments to telecommunications legislation, I wrote to Eoin Ryan to express my worries and show him the opinions of Glyn Moody, from <a href="http://www.computerworlduk.com/COMMUNITY/BLOGS/index.cfm?blogid=14&amp;entryid=1001">http://www.computerworlduk.com/COMMUNITY/BLOGS/index.cfm?blogid=14&amp;entryid=1001</a>.<br>
<br>I&#39;m not sure in how far this is relevant as the above article clams the vote was yesterday, I have asked Eoin Ryan&#39;s permission to show you his response. I was hoping that someone more knowledgeable that I, from the fsfe-ie would be kind enough to respond to Mr. Ryan&#39;s reply.<br>

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