Vote in plenary delayed, but McCarthy report kept

Parent article: EU software patent vote delayed
I'm afraid there may have been some confusion here. At least I got confirmation from 4 MEP assitants that the JURI report on the software patents directive has not ben withdrawn or returned to JURI. It will still be voted in plenary, only at a later date (22.9.2003 or late, not yet decided).
I guess it may be a misunderstanding when somebody told somebody else it was withdrawn _from next monday agenda_ and then somebody informed about report withdrawal thinking they meant it was returned to JURI or something.
At least I wanted to warn of different sources agreeing in a different story.
Maybe somebody can check again with the EP Office in Ireland or any other
EP source.
These news of JURI report withdrawal have spread through many weblogs and news sites. I'm afraid people may think the situation is somehow better than it really is.
