For the record, I received a reply from Brian Crowley relating to IFSO's letter advising him to vote for the restart. Here is the main bit:
"Thank you for your letter of January 28th last regarding the European Patent Directive. I greatly appreciate you sending me your views and the information. As you may be aware the Legal Affairs Committee voted to decide to restart the process on the CII Directive last week."
Good luck,
Malcohol.
