Actually, according to the article at
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/4274811.stm
"To become law both the European Parliament and a qualified majority of EU
states have to approve of the draft wording of the bill."
So it would seem that it will have to be at least redrafted. But I share the
pessimism with regards to politicians and doing the 'right thing'.
