Following the surprise postponement of a full plenary vote, next week representatives from the European Parliament, EU Commission and Council will be meeting to try and hammer out some consensus amid the controversy surrounding copyright term extension. From next Monday MEPs will return from Strasbourg to their offices in Brussels, so please tell them why you oppose the term extension proposal.

The priority MEPs for you to contact are Labour (PSE), Conservative (EPP), and Liberals (ALDE) across all Europe. (In the UK the most ardent supporters of extension are Arlene Macarthy (PSE), Malcolm Harbour (EPP) and Bill Newton-Dunne (ALDE)).
