>      That vote marked the last chance for the
>    democratically-elected members of the European Parliament
>    (MEPs) to submit fixes to the directive -- under the usual
>    procedures. 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.
