"Madam, this is an important subject; in fact I referred to it here in Parliament yesterday during the debate on the internal market. Our colleague Karel De Gucht is in charge of this subject. What I can say about the ACTA agreement under discussion is that we really must look at it objectively, and not become embroiled in passionate arguments and polemics.
The Commission supports ACTA because, based on a legal analysis, it believes the agreement complies with the body of EU law, which in turn complies with the Charter of Fundamental Rights. It also believes the agreement is compatible with all the work we do in the area of
commerce. Therefore, we are glad that the subject is being discussed, as this is only right and democratic. However, let us not get involved in pointless polemics or fears on behalf of consumers and citizens.
I should also point out that you will have several opportunities to debate the issue, at the end of February or beginning of March, and most importantly, I think a major public hearing is planned for early March. Our colleague Mr De Gucht, who is following up this issue for the Commission, has made it known that he is available to answer all your questions and to take part in these debates in Parliament."@en1
