#descr: In a letter, on 2004-08-24, the french president's technical adviser
answers to the Urgent Appeal of FFII.

#sVi: Mister Vice-Président,

#0Wt: In a letter dated on August 2004 the 5th, you have drawn the attention
of Mr. the President of the Republic to your concerns concerning the
European draft Directive about software patents.

#oWi: Being very sensitive to your concerns, the Head of the State has
charged me with the responsibility to thank you for your letter and to
answer you.

#ecl: As you know, France supported the Irish compromise but matched its
vote of a declaration pointing out the goals which it intends to
pursue, namely a clear framing of the patentability of software which
puts an end to the drifts of the EPO.

#ecW: Would that aim not be reached by the selected text, it would be
advisable to return there with the assistance of the European
Parliament.

#did: Sincerely yours
