Yeah Baby! 21,021! 
Twitter put Ryedan on a time out because he was too enthusiastic?
That’s awesome dude! Hope you find a workaround.
Imagine if all those people also signed up for CASAA?

Nothing quite says "vaping activist" like being put in Twitter jail for a bit!
And so they should!

21,601 with the Brits making a strong showing at the moment. 
Who says they only only hang out in pubs? The goal now is 30,000 signatures. Lots of room for everybody to sign up. Let's keep Ryedan Tweeting!

Thanks for the continued support everybody!
I will post an update with everything we know about the current situation at the weekend (probably Sunday).
In the meantime, let's keep on vaping!

Hi everybody! I promised you all an update today and, to that end, I will do my best, but the simple fact is that we still don't know exactly what's going on!
The Trialogue was held behind closed doors in Brussels on 03 December 2013. We watched and waited for a press release, but nothing came. The only real "news" came in the form of tweets from Frédérique Ries, a Belgian MEP and a lady who we now recognise as being one of our most important friends/allies in Europe. The tweet which caught our attention and was subsequently shared on vaping forums across the EU was this one:
Link to original tweet here. What does "deadlock" mean? Simply that the Coucil was unable to reach a majority decision (click here for an explanation of majority voting in the Council of the EU). This could either be seen as a "stay of execution" or yet another indication that the TPD is so flawed and so utterly unreasonable that it will never be accepted in its current form - depending on whether you're a Protank half full/half empty kind of vaper!
To add a bit of balance to the proceedings: Karl Heinz Flrenz, a German MEP, made a claim via Parliamentwatch later on 03 December 2013 that 23 member states support medical regs. What follows is a Google translation of his comment:
Quite what happens from here: I just don't know. The situation described by Jo Lincoln in her recent blog post "Ever closer union (democracy optional)" remains largely unchanged and there have been rumours of another meeting to be held on 16 December 2013. The way I see it: every time these negotiations are derailed (as they were on 03 December 2013), we move a baby step closer to having them thrown out altogether. Whist the politicians are arguing amongst themselves, we are growing in numbers and our voices are getting louder and louder. There will come a point when we are too large and too loud a group for them to continue to try to ignore us and, in doing so, treat us with such contempt.

An update on the current situation from Rebecca Taylor (a UK MEP):
Rebecca Taylor: E-cigarettes
This may look like a victory (and in some respects it is: bearing in mind what could have been), but we're in for two very long years of campaigning and legal battles to preserve the future of vaping in the EU.

Looks like 27,408 people have signed the petition so far. 2,592 left to hit 30,000.
Keep up the good fight jSquared and thank you for posting an update over here.

No problem at all! Thank YOU ALL for your continued support. I will carry on posting updates on this thread as and when more information becomes available (and our understanding of it improves!).
