"Protection of intellectual property is a justified concern, particularly as in this case it also concerns Europe’s competitiveness. With the ACTA, the participating nations and confederations of states want to establish international standards in the fight against product piracy and copyright infringements. However, there is a concern that this could also severely restrict the freedom of individuals on the Internet. As things stand, too many vague wordings are creating legal uncertainty for citizens. Internet service providers would de facto be obliged to monitor their customers’ data traffic and to notify any misdemeanours immediately. I voted against the ACTA agreement, as it is as yet unclear how privacy can be ensured. In addition, there is a danger of severe restrictions on the freedom of information on the Internet. Furthermore, it is unacceptable for a matter that will in reality affect each and every citizen to have been negotiated behind closed doors. The ACTA agreement has a lot of inbuilt pitfalls, as a result of the large number of vague provisions for example, which leave the agreement wide open to abuse."@en1
