The Commission issue an opinion on the EP amendments - not sure this has been published yet - the Commission are still part of the process albeit more in the background. Naas Chamber of Commerce had breakfast with Charlie McCreevy on Monday http://www.chambersireland.ie/index.asp?locID=20&docID=-1
Two little corrections to swpats page:
1. Current Status "It appears the directive will return to Comreg for further discussion..." Shouldn't this be the Council? 2. In Quick History, the link from the directive seems to have gone astray and landed on "Community programmes in training, youth and education: participation of Hungary".

P.S. I got those links from:
