Story: EC: We'd accept software patent defeat

That's quite clever of Mr. McCreevy. By acknowledging this, he just pushes the directive to a second reading.
He simply waves the fact that the directive was approved by the EC in an illegal manner. The request from Denmark and Portugal for a B-item has been denied.
The approval in 1st reading should be declared wrong, and the EC should rethink their position on this.
Mr McCreevy is very well aware of the difficulties to oppose the directive in second reading. For every amendment or change in the EC directive, the EP needs the absolute majority of 367 MEP's voting in favour.
Don't let this puppet fool you !
