lpv:translated text	"The Anti-counterfeiting trade agreement (ACTA) is a multinational treaty aimed at establishing international standards for intellectual property rights enforcement. The agreement aims to establish an international legal framework for targeting counterfeit goods, generic medicines and copyright infringement on the internet. It was signed in Tokyo in January by the EU and its Member States. In May, the Commission referred ACTA to the Court of Justice of EU for a legal opinion. The controversies surrounding ACTA are well known as MEPs have faced an enormous amount of lobbying. From the outset our group has fully acknowledged the many serious concerns that EU citizens and civil society have expressed about rhe ACTA. However, due to the vagueness of the ACTA text I cannot support it. The are the following doubts on the text: the definition of "commercial-scale", the related use of criminal sanctions, the role of Internet Service Providers in 'policing' the internet, the potential infringement on civil liberties and online privacy, potential impact on the transit of generic medicines, the treatment of counterfeited goods and piracy in the same way (both need to be tackled, but with appreciation of the differences between the two copyright violations)."@en1
