lpv:translated text	"The problem with ACTA is twofold: on the one hand, work on ACTA began even before the Lisbon Treaty, that is to say, the rules by which the European Commission was governed were different, so the Commission is now required to discuss the matter ‘behind closed doors’. Another, and probably the greatest, problem is the threat of restrictions on fundamental civil liberties. Intellectual property should, of course, be protected. I am not therefore saying that everything in this agreement was negative; many of its features are already present in existing regulations. However, we must make greater efforts to find a solution to protect intellectual property that would take into account the views of a broad section of civil society. I would like to point out that despite the non-conclusion of ACTA, the debate surrounding this document has brought about a situation whereby copyrights have started to be taken into account. In practice, therefore, legislation in this field is finally being used. It should also be noted that the non-conclusion of this document is a clear example of how every EU citizen can influence decisions made in Brussels. It was, in fact, members of the public who, through their lobbying, activity and highlighting weaknesses, forced many members to correct or change their opinion on ACTA. I firmly believe that in the future, too, citizens will not hesitate to express their opinion on other important topics, because they are affected by every decision we take."@en1
