That is correct, the EC can propose directives for approval by the Parliament and the Council. Thank you for clarifying this imprecision. What the EC can't do is to create new ad-hoc rules on demand. What the EC should do is propose a directive that disallows software patents, which would really solve the software patent problem in Europe. What the EC can't do is invalidate some specific patents by declaring them invalid, what it can't do either is invalidate some specific patents by simply ignoring them. Thanks, Reinhard
