What has to be to done is to require a B-item (discussion) in the Council with a roll call vote (at the request of one delegation) on all EP amendments, at least the 2 we want to see who is voting what. Requesting the roll call can be done in paper (for example one delegation should send *in advance* to the Presidency a letter mentionning that they will request a roll call for those amendements). It is a matter of convincing one delegation. -- Benjamin Henrion <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> FFII Brussels - +32-484-566109 - +32-2-4148403 _______________________________________________ geo-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.okfn.org/mailman/listinfo/geo-discuss
