The European project to reform online copyright continues on its path through the long series of votes required to obtain its final approval. The text is about to be voted on by the Legal Affairs Committee of the European Parliament, which is examining it starting today, 20 June. This is an important step, because - as Saverio Cavalcanti, of the law firm Dentons, explains - "often the position of the European Parliament reflects that of the Committee on Legal Affairs, even if the next steps remain (in particular, the vote of the EU Council)". The appeal signed last April by 147 organisations to the ambassadors of the Member States of the Union not to rush the debate and not to give the Bulgarian Presidency a mandate to negotiate with Parliament has not served any purpose. Some have even suggested that the reform - proposed in 2016 by the then EU Commissioner for Digital Economy Günther Oettinger - could "destroy the Internet as we know it". According to a group of MEPs represented by Julia Reda, European Parliament rapporteur for the copyright reform dossier and member of the German Pirate Party, "the project restricts freedom of expression online and makes it difficult for small publishers and innovative startups.
