But this is not an ordinary regulation, and there still remains a couple of unusual procedures that would let them throw out these disastrous two articles. The first of these happens next week. Generally, the text agreed by the JURI committee would immediately become the basis of a "Trilogue" negotiation between the Parliament, the European Commission (the EU's executive) and the European Council (representatives of its member states). What comes out of that negotiation becomes EU law -- and with the JURI vote, all three groups have agreed to include copyright filters and link taxes in the final directive. However, given the controversy over the directive's contents, we expect some MEPs will invoke "Rule 69(c)" next week. That would lead to a vote of the full Parliament on the JURI text as a negotiating mandate, probably on July 5th. - - - ALSO: "Why We May Have to Cut Europe Off from the Internet" - https://lauren.vortex.com/2018/06/08/why-we-may-have-to-cut-europe-off-from-the-internet
