Hi, Julia Reda, a MEP (Member of the European Parliament) for the German Pirate Party has released a report[1] regarding copyright in the EU and demanding "an ambitious reform agenda for the overhaul of EU copyright"[2].
A shorter version with the most important points is the press release: [2] https://juliareda.eu/2015/01/press-release-eu-copyright-report/ This work has followed the public consultation on copyright that many people (and also associations, including some Wikimedia chapters) have answered[3] in the past months. From [1] you can also see the work of Dimitar Dimitrov and the Free Knowledge Advocacy Group EU[4], and of other free knowledge organisations in Europe as the Free Software Foundation Europe (FSFE) and "La Quadrature du Net" from France. Well done, Free Knowledge Advocacy Group EU!
