Still, I find it hard to see how the excemption can be done in accordance
with EUCD in the first place. Anyway, it is great that Norway is attempting
a balanced path, since the Swedish take on the subject is due in late May
and the Nordic countries have a long tradition of following each other in
intellectual property issues.

Please let me (and the list) know when the EFN analysis is posted on the
web site. I am sure a lot of people will be interested in it.
