Last news about ACTA via EurActiv: "Members of the European Parliament have asked the Commission to halt a global trade agreement against counterfeiting (ACTA) after reports that negotiations on the controversial pact were concluded without their consent in Tokyo.
"If the agreement is indeed concluded, we demand from the Commission to present the final text of the negotiation to the European Parliament as soon as it is procedurally possible," reads a joint statement from Greek Socialist MEP and European Parliament Vice-President Stavros Lambrinidis, French Socialist MEP Francoise Castex, Czech centre-right MEP Zuzana Roithova and German liberal MEP Alexander Alvaro.
The Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA) has been mired in controversy from the off as policymakers and industry worry that it will give governments a blank cheque to write draconian anti-counterfeiting laws that endanger citizens' fundamental freedoms".
