fair use policy in other languages

At Japanese wikipedia, there has been a discussion regarding fair use 
(equivalent of that in Japanese legal context). It involves both legal and 
moral aspects, and there has not yet been any concensus reached. This is 
just a call for information.

I have been following discussions on some lists (wikipedia-l recently, 
wikilegal-l before), on meta wikimedia's related pages. I got an impression 
that it is mostly about English wikipedia, and I am wondering if wikipedias 
in other languages reached some concensus on this issue, or at least had 
some discussion.

I have heard that German wikipedia does not accept fair use images (and even 
texts?). But I don't know the reasonings behind it. That would be 
interesting to know.

Do other wikipedia have policies on this? If you could point us some 
archived discussions and policy pages (in any language), that could help 
japanese wikipedians making better decisions.

Thanks for your help.

Tomos
