The Council of the EU, representing the 28 member states, is currently debating how to finalize the strict net neutrality rules that the European Parliament handed it earlier this year. It looked like the Council was about to water the rules down, but then the European Commission and the Parliament both pleaded with it not to, and now the decision has reportedly been delayed. The Italian presidency of the Council said Thursday that none of the compromise drafts had achieved consensus and a Council official quoted by IDG said the debate will now go through to 2015. The Commission and Parliament want strong rules and definitions but the member states want more flexible “principles” – we’ll have to wait to see who wins.
