"At this stage, the Council’s work on the Commission’s proposal could of course continue at the next IWP meeting. Delegations could aim for agreement on some additional issues. Another alternative would be for the Council to postpone further discussions on the Commission’s proposal until relevant information from the European Parliament is available. The Presidency suggests the second option." See: EU doc no: 12492/09 (pdf)

The next possible discussion could take place in the European Parliament's Civil Liberties (LIBE) on 5-6 October. See also: Proposals for greater openness, transparency and democracy in the EU (pdf) by Professor Steve Peers and See: A quick guide to the "state of play" on amending the Regulation
