European Commission and Open Access

["David Prosser" <david.prosser@bodley.ox.ac.uk>]

In the wake of the publication of the report from the "EU Study 
on the Economic and Technical Evolution of the Scientific 
Publication Markets of Europe" a consortium of organisations 
working in the scholarly communication arena is sponsoring a 
petition to the European Commission to demonstrate support for 
Open Access and for the recommendations in the report. Signatures 
may be added on behalf of individuals or institutions.

Please register your support for Open Access in this way. To sign the
petition, please go to   <http://www.ec-petition.eu/>

The sponsoring organisations are JISC (Joint Information Systems 
Committee, UK), SURF (Netherlands), SPARC Europe, DFG (Deutsches 
Forschungsgemeinschaft, Germany), DEFF (Danmarks Elektroniske 
Fag- og Forskningsbibliotek, Denmark).
