The EU Elite must realise that it was moves like this, to legitimise the idea of Software Patents, with out public concent or developer oprooval that brought about the larger headache of a "No" to the EU constitution.

If we in the UK have a chance to vote it will be on issues such as the Software Patents Bill, REACH legislation and trade issues in the EU that will force me to vote No as well.
