"The Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA) is a new international agreement aimed at establishing a general international framework to combat counterfeiting and piracy. The problems that the ACTA seeks to tackle are real and growing, and have resulted in high costs for European companies and the destruction of many jobs in Europe. Nevertheless, the text of the agreement has unwanted consequences and the rapporteur concludes that the text is not sufficiently precise with regard to individual criminalisation, to the definition of ‘commercial-scale’, to the role of Internet service providers or to the possible interruption of the transit of generic medicines. Furthermore, if the ACTA aims to combat piracy and counterfeiting, its negotiations should include countries like India, China and Brazil, where the most serious breaches of intellectual property rights occur. This means the intended benefits of the ACTA are clearly outweighed by the potential threats to civil liberties. I voted against the ACTA for the aforementioned reasons and because Parliament cannot ensure adequate protection for the rights of European citizens."@en1
