> Press release: Pirate Parties International conference in Brussels 16 -18
>> April
>>
>> On 16-18 April 2010, 70 representatives of Pirate Parties from 22 countries
>> will meet in Brussels to form the umbrella organization Pirate Parties
>> International (PPI), prepare a common declaration of principles for Pirate
>> Parties and elect the first official board of the PPI. On Sunday 18 at 14:00
>> (local time) a press conference will be held to inform the public about the
>> outcome of the discussions and give the newly elected board the opportunity
>> to present the organization.
>>
>> The representatives, including Rick Falkvinge, initiator of the Pirate
>> movement, will have the occasion to meet with the Pirate Members of the
>> European Parliament, Christian Engström and Amelia Andersdotter. “This
>> conference is a great opportunity to strengthen the bonds between the
>> existing Pirate Parties and create an organization that helps coordinating
>> the efforts of every single Pirate Party in the world” says Christian
>> Engström, Swedish Pirate MEP since 2009. “International cooperation is a
>> necessity in order to expand the pirate ideas. Examples like the
>> Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA) and INDECT show that there is a
>> need for a strong umbrella organization like Pirate Parties International to
>> fight for a copyright reform, against surveillance and the Pirate agenda in
>> general. ”
>>
>> The idea behind an umbrella organization for the Pirate movement was born
>> in 2007, and brought to fruition when representatives from five countries
>> appointed the “Coreteam” with the task to coordinate the international
>> Pirate movement and lay the foundations for the creation of an official
>> international organization. Since 2009 PPI has helped in the creation and
>> management of several new Pirate Parties now active in over 40 countries all
>> over the world.
>>
>> “At this conference in Brussels the PPI will get the democratic legitimacy
>> it deserves. The delegates will lay the foundation for an umbrella
>> organization that represents every Pirate Party around the globe. This is a
>> milestone event for the Pirate movement.” says Coreteam Co-President Jerry
>> Weyer from Luxembourg.
>>
>> ----
>>
>> On Friday 16 April the conference will start with a tour of the European
>> Parliament and the opening speech by Christian Engström, followed by a
>> presentation by Dr Jason Rutter on Open Source publishing in academia.
>> During Saturday 17 April the delegates will discuss and vote the statutes
>> and common declaration for all Pirate Parties. The new board of the PPI will
>> be elected on Sunday 18 April and present the results of the conference at a
>> press conference. The press conference will take place Sunday 18 April at
>> Rue des Ailes 3,1030 Brussels and will start at 14:00 (local time) and be
>> open to all journalists.
>>
>> For more information, contact the interim Coreteam via coreteam (at)
>> pp-international.net or visit http://www.pirate-streaming.net/ for the
>> live stream of the conference.
