The Crucial Next Few Days In the EU's Copyright Filter and Link Tax Battle

That vote marked the last chance for the
democratically-elected members of the European Parliament
(MEPs) to submit fixes to the directive -- under the usual
procedures. But this is not an ordinary regulation, and there
still remains a couple of unusual procedures that would let
them throw out these disastrous two articles. The first of
these happens next week. Generally, the text agreed by the
JURI committee would immediately become the basis of a
"Trilogue" negotiation between the Parliament, the European
Commission (the EU's executive) and the European Council
(representatives of its member states). What comes out of that
negotiation becomes EU law -- and with the JURI vote, all
three groups have agreed to include copyright filters and link
taxes in the final directive. However, given the controversy
over the directive's contents, we expect some MEPs will invoke
"Rule 69(c)" next week. That would lead to a vote of the full
Parliament on the JURI text as a negotiating mandate, probably
on July 5th.
