Overall status EP first reading opinion adopted 7 June 2005 Unanimous political agreement reached in Council on 24 June 2005 Commission does not support the agreement Four MSs (ES, PT, AT, CZ) share Cion concerns

EP first reading Strongly supports Commission proposal Various technical clarifications Some limitation of comitology Extra safeguards for public data providers in relation to public access, sharing and IP Community data included in infrastructure

Council first reading Incorporates EP (and other) technical improvements, but: IPR generally takes precedence over obligations in relation to public access and sharing Cumbersome procedure to adopt implementing rules by comitology

Next steps Formal Common Position expected late autumn October 05 – January 06: high-level preparatory discussions with a number of member states Second reading probable start February 2006 After this, EP has 3 months to adopt second reading opinion After this, Council has 3 months to adopt Common Position at second reading If still no agreement, “conciliation” process
