Current state of EU ruling

["Kurt Jaeger" <]

Hi!

See 

	http://europa.eu.int/comm/dg15/en/media/eleccomm/eleccomm.htm

specially the 'opt-out' ruling suggested, see copy below. My $DEITY.

-----------
o unsolicited commercial communications by e-mail (article 7) - Member
  States would be obliged to ensure that opt-out registers were
  made available to consumers and consulted regularly by service
  providers undertaking such unsolicited commercial communications.
  This opens up a pragmatic and workable solution to the problem
  of unsolicited commercial communications without prejudice to
  existing Directives.
