This appears on the following web site: http://www.haerting.de/de/3_lawraw/archiv/urheberrecht.php?w...

Seit Ende September liegt der Referentenentwurf zum ***2. Korb der Urheberrechtsreform*** vor, der die "schwierigen" Punkte des "Urheberrechts in der Informationsgesellschaft" regeln soll. An diesen Entwurf, in dessen Ausarbeitung nunmehr ein Jahr (seit dem Symposium des BMJ zusammen mit dem Institut für Urheberrecht am 16.09.2003) und viel Arbeitszeit und Kapazität aller Beteiligten in den entsprechenden Arbeitsgruppensitzungen geflossen sind, sind mit recht hohe Erwartungen gestellt worden.

I'm particularly interested in the meaning of the word "Korb" here.

Or maybe \"second set of proposed amendments/draft legislation\"

Commentary: This is a translation of the complete text of the proposed amendments to the German digital signature law, as approved by the Federal Cabinet on August 16, 2000; the original German text is available at http://www.iid.de/iukdg/eval/RefE-DLR.pdf, and the government’s commentary (Begründung) at http://www.iid.de/iukdg/eval/Begruendung-DLR.pdf. The revision of the Law consists of two sets of draft legislation: the amendments to the Digital Signature Law (translated here), and a second set of proposed amendments to civil law and civil procedure law, which would give electronic signatures enhanced legal status, and which were approved by the Federal Cabinet on September 6, 2000 (the second set of drafts is available in German at http://www.bmj.bund.de/ggv/bgbrege1.pdf). The complete package will now be considered by the German parliament (Bundestag), with a view toward having it enacted into law by early 2001.

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  Lothar Kneifel: I would bracket the German term
30 mins
  -> Yes, it wouldn't hurt to retain the original German term, and I'd certainly place "basket" in quotation marks.

agree  Derek Gill Franßen: I suppose it is a matter of style, but I would keep the German original and put the approximation in square brackets, i.e. "Zweiter Korb" [second basket] - either way, I'd also use both terms in the translation. :-)
