I can't find anything specific at the relevant web-sites. There was a meeting of the European Council on the 24th and 25th, and one of the topics was the Digital Economy.

I couldn't find anything on the sites of the European Parliament

but it's easy to overlook something there.

Found a blog entry on the meeting.

"But EU Leaders also looked at the wider picture, beyond telecoms. They recognised the digital economy is vital to jobs, put the digital agenda at the heart of their economic plans, and called for action to complete the digital single market by 2015."

Further information on Act 106, the VAT reform, of the Digital Agenda for Europe.
