"The Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA) addresses commercial-scale counterfeiting and online piracy by coordinating global enforcement of existing copyright violation laws. Counterfeiting and piracy have increased substantially and continue to do so. The consequences of the growth in these illegal activities range from economic losses to health and safety dangers. The European Union has much to lose without efficient and enforced global coordination in copyright protection. However, the intended benefits of this international agreement are far outweighed by the potential threats to civil liberties. Given the vagueness of certain aspects of the text and the uncertainty over its interpretation, the European Parliament cannot guarantee adequate protection for citizens’ rights in the future under ACTA. Furthermore, if ACTA aims to combat piracy and counterfeiting, its negotiations should and must include countries like India, China and Brazil, where the most serious breaches of intellectual property rights occur. I therefore voted for this report, which recommends rejecting ACTA."@en1
