How to Act against the Council's Fishy Patent Tactics
-> [ Fishery A-Item | Campaign Procedure | Projects | Project News ]
The FFII is trying to mobilise its supporters to contact politicians and media to prevent the Council decision and/or get the Parliament's Restart project on track. Supporters are also asked to support the campaign by web banners and/or strike pages. This is being organised by the Webdemo Team (fish0501-help at ffii org). In case you want to help, here are some entry points. By its surprise tactic of inserting an A-item in the last minute, the Council/Commission of course makes this difficult.
Addresses to Write To
