A leaked draft, the Council of the European Union and the European Parliament have agreed on several amendments to three chapters of the draft ePrivacy Regulation. The amendments relate to Chapter III (End-Users' Rights to Control Electronic Communications), Chapter V (Remedies, Liability and Penalties), and Chapter VI (Final Provisions). However, the council is still at odds over a number of other significate issues, such as a definition for the term 'unwanted calls' and the "scope of the prohibition for sending direct marketing communications without the recipient's consent." The second trilogue will be held on 18th November.
