Legislation

 The European Parliament and Council adopted in 2001 a directive on copyright which seeks to harmonise aspects of copyright law across the Community and to enable the Community and member states to ratify the World Intellectual Property Organisation (WIPO) Copyright Treaty of 1996. The Patent Office is responsible for implementation in the UK, and has published draft regulations, but it did not meet the deadline set for implementation of December 2002. It has not yet published the final text of the regulations, which are expected to differ significantly from the draft and to have far-reaching effects on users of copyright materials and on librarians and archivists.
