"I agree that we need a new international agreement to combat counterfeiting and piracy. Breaches of intellectual property rights are estimated to cost EUR 250 million and destroy 185 000 jobs per year in Europe alone. By trying to cover everything, the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA) confuses goods and products with the free movement of information on the Internet. According to the rapporteur, this has unwanted consequences as regards individual criminalisation, the definition of ‘commercial-scale’, the role of Internet service providers and the possible interruption of the transit of generic medicines. If ACTA aims to combat piracy and counterfeiting, its negotiations should and must include countries like India, China and Brazil, where the most serious breaches of intellectual property rights occur. This means the intended benefits of ACTA are clearly outweighed by the potential threats to civil liberties. For these reasons, and because I am convinced that this is the best way to defend the rights of the European public, I am voting for the Martin report, which recommends rejecting ACTA."@en1
