"Madam President, I have had hundreds of e-mails from my constituents on the subject of ACTA, the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement. ACTA intends to take alleged infringements of copyright, patents and trademarking from the jurisdiction of civil law to criminal law.
Intellectual property rights have to be protected but ACTA, like so much legislation that comes from this place, favours the interest of big business over small business and individuals. If this comes under criminal law, the great danger is that alleged transgressors could be extradited on European arrest warrants to the four corners of the European Union to face months or years in prison.
I and my colleagues in the UK Independence Party are once again the voice of the people in this place. UK Independence Party MEPs oppose ACTA and we will vote against it when the time comes. We urge all MEPs to do the same."@en1
