I am afraid it is not neutral. The reason that is the case is that
currently the focus is on "enhanced cooperation", while it
should rather be on "public". <br><br>
A. To better understand my point, let us take the European
definition of "enhanced cooperation" per the Lisbon Treaty:
<a href="http://europa.eu/scadplus/glossary/enhanced_cooperation_en.htm">
http://europa.eu/scadplus/glossary/enhanced_cooperation_en.htm.<br><br>
</a>This definition (also mutually adopted by governments) definitely
conflicts with the Tunis Agenda. <br></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I don't think that the definitions can be reconciled; they are talking about two entirely different processes. Whilst it is not entirely coincidental that they use the same term, there is not much that we can learn from the European Community experience. Just like "open access" means completely different things depending on whether you are talking about content or infrastructure.</div><div><br></div><div>I read your interesting email several times, but I'm still not sure exactly what you think we should add to, or change in, the draft statement to cover the points you raise. Maybe I'm just being dense, but I think if you could restate your proposals much more concisely (like, in a few lines at most) it would make it easier for others to digest them and respond.</div></div><div>
