Please note that this was voted at the committee-stage, it will be voted upon in plenary (the full parliament) in july. Not every country is represented in these committees and as such you might not have a representative and you'll have to look for the parties to find an equivalent from another country. IMO, this is also glaring hole in the design of EU's democratic structures, because the chance of other-countries representatives answering to your questions is practically zero, while at the same time them being subject to corporate lobbying from whatever country. the legal affairs committee : http://www.europarl.europa.eu/committees/en/juri/home.html http://www.europarl.europa.eu/committees/en/juri/home.html the votes on "copyright in the digital single market" (pdf) : http://www.europarl.europa.eu/cmsdata/149721/juri-committee-result-roll-call-votes-20062018.pdf http://www.europarl.europa.eu/cmsdata/149721/juri-committee-...
