Survey on the EC report's OA recommendations

If you or your organization plans to comment on the EC report and its OA recommendations before the June 1 deadline, consider taking the survey the EC has launched on SINAPSE (the EC's communication tool for science policy). From the invitation:
The objective of this survey is to gather comments on the recent study financed by the EC. Members are invited to give their opinion on the recommendations as well as their proposal/analysis on the topic they address. For each recommendation, you're invited to indicate, on a scale, the degree of pertinence, how difficult it is to implement, the degree of priority, whether there is a role for public authorities. Any other information or reactions on "scientific publications" issues are also welcomed. The results of this consultation will provide an invaluable input to the design of the EC policy in the field.
