Voortgangsrapportages

Uit het verslag van de Raad voor Concurrentievermogen (1 en 2 december):

"The Council took note of a progress report (16006/08) from the Presidency on discussions to create a Community patent and establish an EU patent court. As regards the patent litigation system, the discussions held in the preparatory bodies enabled better coordination to be achieved between the provisions of the various jurisdiction instruments so that the Commission would be able, in due course, to propose negotiating directives on a future international agreement establishing an EU patent court. As regards the Community patent, the discussions enabled the concerns of delegations to be expressed, particularly in relation to cost issues and the language arrangements."

"The Council took note of a progress report on a proposal for a Directive amending Directive 2006/116/EC on the term of protection of copyright and related rights. It asked its preparatory bodies to continue discussions with a view to finding solutions to the questions outstanding."
