lpv:translated text	"I welcome our citizens’ interest in the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA) and I listened carefully to all of their concerns and worries, but as a Member of the European Parliament, I am obliged, first and foremost, to serve the general interest. The general interest means combating counterfeiting, which in Europe costs more than 100 000 jobs every year, robs our businesses of EUR 230 billion and deprives the states of millions of euros of tax revenue. Counterfeit goods also pose a real threat to the health of European consumers. In the current context of economic crisis, and in light of these arguments, the decision by some of my colleagues to reject ACTA so hastily, without waiting for the verdict of the Court of Justice of the European Union, is, in my view, completely unreasonable. I agree with the analysis of the legal opinions of Parliament’s Legal Service and firmly believe that we could implement ACTA while respecting the fundamental rights of our fellow citizens. That is why I voted in favour of this Agreement, as I did in my previous votes."@en1
