". Mr President, Commissioner, all of us here are against counterfeiting and piracy. However, Commissioner, you have just told us a fairy tale to justify the fact that you are discussing an international agreement behind the backs of the peoples and behind the backs of their representatives. I would remind you, Commissioner, that Article 218 of the Treaty of Lisbon states, and I quote: ‘The European Parliament shall be immediately and fully informed at all stages of the procedure’ in the framework of the negotiation or conclusion of international agreements. The Anti­Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA) is precisely such a case, so keep your word and comply with your own treaty! We cannot but worry about fundamental freedoms. Indeed, interpretation of one offence – piracy – and its punishment will seemingly, in future, no longer be delegated to a judicial authority but to Internet access providers. What is more, in future, the customs services in those countries that are signatories to the agreement will seemingly be given permission to search telephones, laptop computers and personal stereos on the pretext of combating piracy, in line with the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (SWIFT) Agreement, which was meant to combat terrorism. Remember though, Commissioner: Parliament beat you on SWIFT and it will beat you on ACTA if need be. One therefore wishes to mix together the fight against counterfeiting and piracy, invasions of privacy, infringements of intellectual property and even, in the case of medicines, infringement of the right to health. Commissioner, put this agreement on the table immediately."@en1
