lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, the European Commission, its political allies in this Parliament, and you in particular, Commissioner De Gucht, have done everything possible to try to avoid a vote taking place on ACTA tomorrow because you are scared that it will be defeated, given the mass opposition that exists across Europe. Commissioner, when you spoke at the Committee on International Trade two weeks ago, you effectively said that, regardless of how Parliament votes tomorrow, the Commission would try to push ahead, regardless of what the result is. That represents a complete contempt for democracy, but at least you have been consistent in that contempt throughout this whole process of ACTA. In your letter to MEPs, dated 26 January, you accused those protesting against ACTA of basing their action on – and I quote – ‘misinformation, or possibly even worse, wilful misinterpretation of the content of the agreement’. What an outrageous statement! Who needs democracy and debate in society when we have the European Commission to tell us what is what. If there was any misinterpretation, if there is any misinformation, then that is due to the complete lack of transparency and the deliberate ambiguity contained in this agreement. Unlike you, I applaud the anti-ACTA campaigners, the thousands who have taken to the streets, the tens of thousands who sent e-mails, the millions of people who have signed petitions. If ACTA is defeated tomorrow, it will be thanks to those campaigners. However, the struggle against ACTA and measures like ACTA will continue, as is clear from the Commission’s attitude. We will continue to fight it, today, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and to struggle for a society and an economy based on the free exchange of information, knowledge and research for the benefit of all."@en1
