Maybe there's still hope. This evening the Spanish Senate has voted unanimously that the Spanish Government should oppose the directive. unfortunately there was no explicit recomendation of treating the directive as B-item instead of A-item (approved withot discussion). We'll see.

In any case, if Spain pushes for a B-item treatment of the directive, "The Polish government has however given instructions to its diplomats that they should support any other country's initiatives for delay or revision (B-item) of the agreement". That would be at least two governments.
