Subject: [Patents] How to contact country representatives in Munchen ?

Hello. 

I've already sent my comments to the EC consultation, and I don't think I should
send them to the UK PO since I don't live or work or anything in the UK. 

But I was wondering if there was a way to reach the national representatives 
of one's country in the EPO. I understand that the EPO has no open consultation
process, but still I possibly have some right to reach any member of government
and tell them my opinion?. I would probably send the same message than to the 
EC consultation (or a little polished, and yes, I'll resubmit it to the EC 
this time through consultation@petition.eurolinux.org), so if this goes to the 
same people that are in Munchen (sorry for my spelling) I wouldn't do it. 

I don't pretend to spam busy people, but I think it
is part of their job to read one message from a voter about what they're 
discussing.

Does anyone know where to get the contact info ?. I'm interested in Spanish 
representatives (I guess Catalonia has no voice there), but I suppose the 
list might be interested in other countries.

Thank you.

P.S.: One more question, out of curiosity. Andorra is not in the EPO (nor in 
the EU). Does that mean that I if software patents are 
finally accepted (I hope not) I should exile there and not be affected ?
