Well, if you can trust
Wikipedia a directive is:

A directive is a legislative act of the European Union,[1] which requires member states to achieve a particular result without dictating the means of achieving that result. It can be distinguished from regulations which are self-executing and do not require any implementing measures. Directives normally leave member states with a certain amount of leeway as to the exact rules to be adopted. Directives can be adopted by means of a variety of legislative procedures depending on their subject matter.

Is there a specific deadline for applying a convention in the EU? Or does it depend from the political/social pressure?
The convention itself defines a lot of things, but they all regard the future of copyright law in the EU. If I understand the definition of convention, all these things inside should be achieved by the Members... one day. And this directive definitely doesn't "overrun" local laws.
Btw, there is a huge difference between uploading a book on your blog in Western Europe/North America/Australia/etc and Bulgaria. AND we are no talking about a blog here.
Could someone please post a link to an online library. I have read posts from people telling "I just downloaded XX from my local library", I would like to see how they function. Thanks
