They must wait or else the negative impact of the EPO version of the patent directive on the European economy will become all too clear for the politicans. Currently most of them think software patents are good because the US seems to be doing just fine (remember, they are not programmers and much closer to lawyers in their thinking).
One thing to remember about European politicians though is that if they implement a stupid directive that later turns out to threaten EU jobs (directly or indirectly) they do have the resolv to change it. At least if it is a US company that is the threat.
