"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA) has been a very serious political mistake, not to mention a legal one, because it has caused a worldwide reaction of immense proportions, and that is enough to say that it is a political mistake. Why immense? Because it has created the suspicion that access to the Web, which is a great modern revolution, would really be inhibited. Why is this? Because it has made the mistake of lumping together counterfeiting and piracy, which are two totally different issues. The way to combat counterfeiting has nothing to do with copyright. Then there is another mistake, in that it has excluded Parliament from an important activity that it has been doing for some time: creating a new copyright, although some people would like to retain the old copyright law, which existed before the Web. The point is that we have to work on copyright and put ACTA aside, as it is an obstacle. We have to reject it, exclude it, because it is an obstacle to our work. Fortunately, the Commission, after months and years of hesitation, has brought two important measures to the attention of Parliament: orphan works and the one regarding copyright management companies. This is positive; let us work on this rationally rather than just emotionally, but without letting ACTA get in the way."@en1
