General Consultative Committee of the EPO Warns About Battistelli's Plans

Also related: Guest Post: Behind the GCC Meeting and How Battistelli Finds Excuses for His Union-Busting Campaign at the EPO

Summary: The General Consultative Committee (GCC) issues a long document (176 pages) which explains to the overseer of the Office how internal rule changes make things even worse

WHAT follows is a document which was commented on by Kieren McCarthy more than 3 weeks ago. This document, from the GCC of the EPO, shows how Battistelli is (to quote the letter) "simply trying to shift the responsibility for these new, flawed proposals from himself to the Council" to "further damage the legal framework within the EPO" and risk a "further deterioration in the already severely spoiled working atmosphere."

Considering the layout, the size, and some of the auxiliary material, it has been a lot simpler and more practical to publish this in the form of images, with paging used to limit the bandwidth required to load the images.
