Some more work on

        http://swpat.ffii.org/papers/ftc02/

is needed.  It appears that we overlooked the most interesting sessions:

See also the qotes from the UK government's new study

and, not yet translated, Monopolkommission

        http://swpat.ffii.org/archive/quotes/#mopoko0207

which both clearly criticise the EPO for violating/diluting the given law
and recommend its reassertion, in developping countries as well as in
Europe.
