HC Deb 19 September 2003 vol 410 c1073W
Dr. Gibson

To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what evidence she has taken on the implementation of EU Directive 2001/29/EC (May 2001). [131171]

Ms Hewitt

We have received representations, both in person and in writing, from a very large number of organisations and individuals, including over 300 written responses to the consultation paper on UK implementation of EU Copyright Directive 2001/29/EC issued last year. These representations covered the views of a very wide range of interests and dealt with a great number of issues ranging from general concerns to detailed drafting points.
