We got very quickly some response from the EU MEPs indicating us that at that moment nothing was yet decided even if BE MEPs had voted positively. They also mentioned us that our remarks and input would certainly influence their position. Furthermore, this was also the lever for the Belgian minister to request a study about the impact and consequences for Belgian government and citizens. So, we may say that our action at national level has been very positive.</div><div><br></div><div>Details about the decision taken by the minister :</div><div><a href="http://datanews.knack.be/ict/nieuws/nieuwsoverzicht/2012/02/16/vande-lanotte-wil-impactstudie-over-acta/article-4000044935196.htm">http://datanews.knack.be/ict/nieuws/nieuwsoverzicht/2012/02/16/vande-lanotte-wil-impactstudie-over-acta/article-4000044935196.htm</a></div><div><br></div><div>We will of course continue to spread the message and the ISOC statement has now also been send to the Belgian MEPs.</div><div><br></div><div>Kind regards,</div><div><br></div><div>
