lpv:translated text	"Madam President, the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA), which has sparked so much controversy in Europe for the past couple of weeks, has been an ongoing project worked on by the European Commission as well as by the governments of all Member States. Unfortunately, they have failed to convince the European public that this agreement will guarantee a fair balance between intellectual property rights and the fundamental rights of global network consumers, which, in the 21st century, includes all of us. I believe that the European Union needs such an agreement, but not while there are doubts about unrestricted Internet access and personal data protection. These doubts are still pending. I believe that the European public has already lost confidence, to a large extent, in the agreement. In view of the doubts mentioned above, I have decided to vote against ratifying the ACTA in its present form. Let us also remember our call to the Commission on 24 November 2010 to confirm that implementing the ACTA will not have any influence on fundamental rights and data protection. So far, I have not heard any such confirmation. Finally, I cannot help but mention one political issue. It is a shame and a disgrace that there are some political parties and organisations which want to take advantage of the legitimate discontent of the Internet society in Europe, by pretending to be its protectors and forgetting that some of them have been involved in preparing and granting the European Commission’s mandate to sign this agreement. This is a very important and sensitive matter, and it is my opinion that it should not be used for short-term political gains."@en1
