lpv:translated text	"− I voted against the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA), which was concluded to protect intellectual property from counterfeiters and illegal distribution because it may restrict Internet freedom. I also took this decision because of the thousands of emails I received urging me to vote against the ACTA. I feel that the decision on the ACTA is a political issue. I therefore agree with my colleagues in the Group of the Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats who resisted the proposal from Members of the Group of the European People’s Party (Christian Democrats) to postpone the vote until receipt of the conclusions of Court of Justice of the European Union evaluating the consequences of the ACTA. I agree with rapporteur David Martin from the Group of the Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats, who noted that certain provisions of the ACTA are at odds with the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union because they do not fully guarantee rights to a private life and the protection of personal information. Although it is important to combat counterfeiting and piracy, Internet service providers should not play a policing role. We have to protect artists and their work but we cannot allow Internet freedom to be violated. Such opposition should not mark the end but mean the beginning of a general debate on how to defend intellectual property in the European Union."@en1
