This recommendation by David Martin concerns the draft Council decision on the conclusion of the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA) between the European Union and its Member States, Australia, Canada, Japan, the Republic of Korea, the United Mexican States, the Kingdom of Morocco, New Zealand, the Republic of Singapore, the Swiss Confederation and the United States of America. Although preserving intellectual property rights – the basis of many Europeans’ livelihoods – is essential, and while combating piracy and counterfeit products originating mainly in emerging economies is a priority, this proposal should be criticised for breaching fundamental rights of access to the Internet. I believe the EU should have reviewed the Intellectual Property Rights Directive and adapted EU Internet law before negotiating this agreement. It is noteworthy that, while ACTA aims to combat piracy and counterfeiting, its negotiations have not included countries like India, China and Brazil, where the most serious breaches of intellectual property rights occur. I therefore voted against ACTA."@en1
