> On 16-18 April 2010, 70 representatives of Pirate Parties from 22
> countries will meet in Brussels to form the umbrella organization
> Pirate Parties International (PPI), prepare a common declaration of
> principles for Pirate Parties and elect the first official board of
> the PPI. On Sunday 18 at 14:00 (local time) a press conference will be
> held to inform the public about the outcome of the discussions and
> give the newly elected board the opportunity to present the
> organization.
> 
> The representatives, including Rick Falkvinge, initiator of the Pirate
> movement, will have the occasion to meet with the Pirate Members of
> the European Parliament, Christian Engström and Amelia Andersdotter.
> “This conference is a great opportunity to strengthen the bonds
> between the existing Pirate Parties and create an organization that
> helps coordinating the efforts of every single Pirate Party in the
> world” says Christian Engström, Swedish Pirate MEP since 2009.
> “International cooperation is a necessity in order to expand the
> pirate ideas. Examples like the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement
> (ACTA) and INDECT show that there is a need for a strong umbrella
> organization like Pirate Parties International to fight for a
> copyright reform, against surveillance and the Pirate agenda in
> general. ”
> 
> The idea behind an umbrella organization for the Pirate movement was
> born in 2007, and brought to fruition when representatives from five
> countries appointed the “Coreteam” with the task to coordinate the
> international Pirate movement and lay the foundations for the creation
> of an official international organization. Since 2009 PPI has helped
> in the creation and management of several new Pirate Parties now
> active in over 40 countries all over the world.
> 
> “At this conference in Brussels the PPI will get the democratic
> legitimacy it deserves. The delegates will lay the foundation for an
> umbrella organization that represents every Pirate Party around the
> globe. This is a milestone event for the Pirate movement.” says
> Coreteam Co-President Jerry Weyer from Luxembourg.
> 
> On Friday 16 April the conference will start with a tour of the
> European Parliament and the opening speech by Christian Engström,
> followed by a presentation by Dr Jason Rutter on Open Source
> publishing in academia. During Saturday 17 April the delegates will
> discuss and vote the statutes and common declaration for all Pirate
> Parties. The new board of the PPI will be elected on Sunday 18 April
> and present the results of the conference at a press conference. The
> press conference will take place Sunday 18 April at Rue des Ailes
> 3,1030 Brussels and will start at 14:00 (local time) and be open to
> all journalists.
> 
> For more information, contact the interim Coreteam via coreteam (at)
> pp-international.net or visit http://www.pirate-streaming.net/ for the
> live stream of the conference.

> Viele Grüße
