In view of the increasing pressure for action, it is the intention of the
Commission services to finalise the consultation process end of this year.
The consultation will include a meeting with Member States in December 2000.
The public at large and all interested circles may direct their comments to
the Directorate General for the Internal Market, either by mail to the
following address: European Commission, DG Internal Market (MARKT/E/2), Rue
de la Loi, 200 (C100 5/13), B - 1049 Brussels, or by e-mail to be directed to
MARKT-SOFTPAT at cec.eu.int . Any comments should be received on or before 15
December 2000.
