I see little I can add to that analysis other than that the Conciliation Committee doesn't seem to have the sharpest knives from the PES or ALDE (e.g. Silvana Koch-Merin). The PES rapporteur is being useless in the moment where she can do most. Another strike against the PES and another strike against the Parti Socialiste.

Next thing you know they'll start trying to pass software patents again.
