"Following many conversations with Internet users, artists, publishers and media representatives in recent weeks, I have just voted against the ratification of the current proposal for the ACTA Agreement. In my view, the following objections raised by citizens are justified: the potential intensive monitoring of users by Internet service providers, the powers of competent authorities in ratifying states being too far-reaching and the risk posed to healthcare provision, in particular in developing countries, by the restriction of trade in generic medicines. An examination of the ACTA Agreement by the Court of Justice of the European Union to check its compatibility with fundamental rights prior to the final vote in Parliament was, unfortunately, rejected. I am very definitely in favour of a detailed clarification by this Court. My vote against ACTA today is directed solely at the vagueness of numerous passages and the lack of sincerity, transparency and readiness to engage in dialogue of many of the people involved in the legislative process over recent months. I expressly support the core idea of ensuring the protection of copyright and the safeguarding of innovative, high quality products. However, when a large proportion of EU citizens are so strongly opposed to a law, politicians must meet these concerns with a high degree of openness and due diligence. I therefore welcome the majority decision of the European Parliament."@en1
