"As the adjournment has been rejected, I voted in line with my belief in relation to the merits of the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA) – which gives an essential international dimension to protecting intellectual property rights – and to the groundlessness of objections to ACTA on the basis of civil liberties. First, intellectual property rights are themselves fundamental rights, protected by the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights. Second, no matter how much freedom the Internet may give, that does not include freedom to commit piracy and to counterfeit goods. Third, ACTA does not affect the freedom of Internet users, but only the freedom to provide commercial-scale pirated content or counterfeit goods. Finally, ACTA is not self-executing, does not confer rights or impose obligations on anyone, and does not criminalise anything: it can only be implemented with domestic legislation."@en1
