[pp.int.general] 19.04.2014 - Stop TTIP Protests - worldwide - fight the ACTA zombies !

[Zbigniew Łukasiak]

Yesterday at the pad it was decided that we need a wiki with default
English localization - is it ready now?

It looks like this subject gets very heated right now in Poland - so
we need to start quickly with the organization of demos and gathering
of TTIP info materials.

The Polish Ministry of Economy organizes some consultations on April
3rd for NGOs, we'll try to get there or pass our questions to the NGOs
that will be invited. Do you guys have questions?

Here is my list:

1. Can the Ministry assure us that TTIP will not introduce software
patents into Poland?
2. Can the Ministry assure us that TTIP will not cause restrictions in
fair use of copyrighted materials?
3. Can the Ministry assure us that after signing TTIP Poland will
still hold sovereign right to shorten the time of copyright protection
or increase the fair use?

I remember also from the TTIP discussion at PPUE meeting that TTIP is
advertised using only the best case scenario calculations and the
realistic case are never mentioned - but I am struggling with making a
concrete question out of this.

Cheers,
Zbigniew Łukasiak
