lpv:translated text	". The Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA) was, from the start, negotiated without the involvement of civil society. European businesses and European consumer organisations were not invited to talks on the ACTA Treaty, and had no opportunity to influence the form of the treaty, while, for reasons unknown, some supranational businesses were there even at the birth of the treaty. The threat to the transfer of generic medicines, the possible problems with plant seeds and a range of other impacts disappeared in the storm surrounding the fight against Internet piracy. The ACTA Treaty, however, also includes provisions that might threaten basic human freedoms, such as the right to a fair trial, for example. Article 27 paragraph 3 of the treaty would allow private firms to enforce the law. The right to a fair trial and the presumption of innocence or right of appeal, however, are a cornerstone of European civil rights. Europeans have always stood up for these freedoms, and have always fought for them. It is therefore not possible to support – with a clear conscience – a treaty which, through vague formulations, allows civil rights to be handed over from the courts to non-European private companies. Today, the European Parliament again has a chance to show that it is the final barrier between European citizens and the arbitrary will of certain governments and supranational businesses, and to reject the ACTA Treaty. Let us do this resolutely and quickly. If we need to amend the European legal framework, let us do so ourselves, and not under some trans-oceanic tutelage."@en1
