lpv:translated text	"Mr President, an ambiguous and unclear agreement is a poor agreement, irrespective of what the European Court of Justice thinks of it, and therefore we do not need to wait for the court’s opinion. From the little that is clear, we can see that the rights of undertakings are protected above those of citizens. This applies both to us in Europe and to the people in poor countries who are waiting in vain for legal generic medicines that are being seized in the EU. However, if the best defence for an agreement is that it does not change anything, the agreement itself is not worth anything either. Mr De Gucht, you say that this agreement does not threaten our freedoms, but instead protects our livelihoods. The problem is that the ‘we’ that you are talking about are long-established companies with old business models. The ‘we’ that I am talking about are the millions of people who have actively opposed ACTA, and it is their rights we are defending by voting ‘no’ tomorrow. It is democracy that will make the European Parliament vote ‘no’, not new facts. I would issue a word of warning that the fight is not over, however. The bad bits of ACTA will resurface in other legislation and initiatives like a monster in a second-rate zombie film. We therefore need a bigger change in intellectual property rights in order to defend the right to allow cultural growth, rather than the growth of profits."@en1
