"Mr President, Commissioner, since the Treaty of Lisbon came into force, we have had new powers that we wish henceforth to see respected. Therefore, we have listened to you and we ask you to introduce an ongoing, transparent consultation procedure on the Anti­Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA), ensuring that the European Parliament and the citizens represented by this Chamber are regularly and fully informed of the progress of the negotiations, whilst respecting the confidentiality clauses which, as you have just indicated to us, are related to the agreement. We wish today to have access to the text and the summary of the negotiations so that we may be fully involved in the legislative process. Moreover, my group and I would encourage you to pursue the negotiations in order to achieve a multilateral treaty that improves the standards of application and of respect for intellectual property rights to which, eventually, the emerging economies such as China could subscribe. Counterfeiting is a scourge, an underground activity and one aspect of unfair competition that, as well as being a danger to the body, society and the economy, is a danger to the mind. By depriving authors as well as the companies which have invested many years in researching and developing the fruits of their work, it discourages others from pursuing their efforts to innovate and create. However, we know that this is where the heart of European Union competitiveness resides. Finally, I believe that with the development of our digital environment, we cannot deny that counterfeiting has become intangible. Therefore, I remain convinced that it is possible to make Internet users, especially those who hijack copyright, liable without comprising respect for fundamental rights and civil liberties. Let us work together to find this balance between rights and responsibilities."@en1
