The solution would be "force the minister to withdraw his support" I
guess:

Maybe the letter of CEA-PME, ObjectWeb, FFII and others
http://kwiki.ffii.org/Cons040603En
can help bring the majority together. In 2001 the Dutch parliament has
voted against software patents and for a proposal that closely resemblse
that of the EP, and the ministry's patent junky continued to lobby for
swpat in the Council at the same time.
Perhaps the parliament can't force those guys to throw away the needle,
but a majority decision like that of 2001 would be very useful
nonetheless.
