"I voted in favour of the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA), which seeks to protect Europe’s internal market from counterfeit products. Although this text was not approved by Parliament, I defended the importance of such an international agreement for Europe in terms of safeguarding competitiveness, innovation and jobs. Counterfeiting today is responsible for the loss of EUR 6 billion for our businesses and 40 000 jobs, and it poses significant risks to the health and safety of our citizens. At this time of crisis, the Agreement offers real protection for our economy. I also regret that Parliament went ahead with its vote before hearing the decision of the Court of Justice of the European Union, which was asked to rule on the Agreement’s compatibility with the Treaties and fundamental rights. That is why I had initially voted in favour of the report on the ACTA. The protection of our Community space is a major issue that we have to acknowledge."@en1
