Where that? In US? in Japan? In Luxemburg, where the European Court of Justice sits.
This initiative from the EU Commission results from... citizens, more precisely, from the scratching pain-in-the-brain protesters who never cease to complain about ACTA's negotiations and their discreet encroachment over civil rights.
Until now, the objectors to ACTA have somehow been the noisy wastes of the official doxa regarding the "objective need of a protective ACTA", they have been the unwanted civil side-effects of the official sermon on property rights.(to read opposite views and endorsement of the sermon, click on the click to glance at the industry's advocacy letter addressed to MEPs)
The reference of the protesters' question to the European judge is not only and obviously a legitimization of their concern.
It also is a new qualification for the judge : since the governments and the Commission were not ready to include their concern into the negotiations of this international treaty, the EU judge in charge of law's protection get a new promotion : he has also to include the civil waste of the ACTA's official doxa into the law's protection.
Another reason for governments to despise independent judges?
