[cooperation-wg] EP "Connected Continent" and Internet Fast Lane provisions?

Remember this was a committee vote. It still has to go to plenary.

However the question is still a good one. I would suggest ignoring press releases a little and reading the latest text. Anyone got a pointer?

The last text I saw did not make sense: not to me and not to the person who was seeking my advice.
