This is a excellent news if I am right in thinking this strongly implies
that parliament will follow the line taken in committee at the 2nd
reading vote. If this is so I would suggest we defer all activity --
letters, emails to supporters etc -- until after the vote. At this point
it would just be an annoyance, particularly if there is a flood of
email, and we should keep our powder dry until negotiations start with
the Council post-vote.
Regards,
Rufus

Good afternoon Mr. Henrion
I would like to thank you for your interest in this dossier. After the
vote in ENVI-committee, the Parliament was ready to negotiate with the
Council. Unfortanetely, the Austrian presidency was not given a mandate
by the other member states.
As a result, no negotiations are taking place. INSPIRE will be discussed
in conciliation (a so called third reading), after the vote in plenary.
I will not table any new amendments to the recommendation.
Best regards
Frieda Brepoels

Dear Mrs Brepoels MEP,
I am writing to you regarding the Inspire directive, which will be voted
next week in plenary in Strasbourg.
Usuallly, when there is a disagreement between the Council and the
Parliament at this stage, and I have understood that there is one over
ownership and distribution rights of the data produced by national
mapping agencies, there are negociations to find an agreement between
the 2 institutions before the second reading in plenary.
I wonder what has given the negociations, and what is the current
status of the positions of ministers.
I am also interested to know if you, or any other MEP or groups of MEPs,
will table other amendments then your report to the Common Position.
Best regards,
--
