private copying levy schemes set up at national level, a second 'call for
comments' is issued.</span><br>[...]<br><p style="font-style: italic;">All stakeholders are invited to comment on the issues in the attached second
call for comments. Answers and comments, which may cover all or only a limited
number of the issues mentioned in the background document, should reach the
e-mail address <a rel="nofollow" ymailto="mailto:markt-d1@ec.europa.eu" target="_blank" href="mailto:markt-d1@ec.europa.eu">markt-d1@ec.europa.eu</a>

<p style="font-style: italic;">If stakeholders wish to submit confidential responses, they should indicate
clearly which part of their submission is confidential and should not be
published on the Commission's website. All other submissions, not clearly marked
as confidential, may be published by the Commission.</p><p style="font-style: italic;"><br> </p>
<p style="font-style: italic;">This call for comments follows an earlier consultation launched in June 2006:</p><p style="font-style: italic;"><br></p><p style="font-style: italic;">- <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://ec.europa.eu/internal_market/copyright/docs/levy_reform/stakeholder_consultation_en.pdf"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Questionnaire 2006</span></a></p><p><span style="font-style: italic;">- </span><a rel="nofollow" style="font-style: italic;" target="_blank" href="http://circa.europa.eu/Public/irc/markt/markt_consultations/library?l=/copyright_neighbouring/stakeholder_consultation&vm=detailed&sb=Title"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Replies to the public consultation 2006</span></a>"<br></p><br>Of course we would may decide to answer separately, each party sending its own reply; however, <span style="font-weight: bold;">coordinating a joint reply as PPI we would may appear stronger for the European Commission's
eyes</span>, and our voice would may sound louder. What do you
think? Regards<br><br><br> Carlos
