In my opinion crucial is behaviour of the Socialist group, especially 
members from UK. Is not possible to organize together with the PES a 
conference somewhere in summer just before September vote?

To strengthen our position we should not limit our efforts to 
Europarliament.
More as once a week I see at TV that Claire Short is taking position not 
correct from New Labour point of view. She is for us very appropriated 
person to approach and ask for help  because the world owes to her the 
Commission on Intellectual Property Rights and the report on IPR and 
Development http://www.iprcommission.org/index.html . As a member of 
Blair cabinet she was reponsible for British relations with developing 
world.
