"The fight against commercial counterfeiting and computer piracy is certainly an important challenge, but we need to be very careful as to how this is implemented and interpreted. Firstly, I am perplexed that an agreement of this scope does not cover those countries where most infringements of rights and commercial safeguards are committed, namely China, India and Pakistan. Moreover, Russia and Brazil are also not included in this agreement, yet these are places which cannot really be overlooked in many ways. The Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA) has also raised serious doubts because it is potentially harmful to individual rights and freedoms, as well as curbing free access to the Internet. For all these reasons, I therefore voted in favour of the report, while rejecting the text of the agreement. However, I hope that negotiations can soon resume to find a more broadly supported solution to combat the scourge of counterfeiting, without repeating the errors and the shortcomings of ACTA."@en1
