lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Commissioner, an agreement behind closed doors is not something the European public either deserves or wants. The European Union is currently negotiating a very important trade agreement, the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA), and once again, this is being done in back rooms. The national parliaments and the European Parliament have not had a single opportunity for democratic scrutiny of the substance or scope of the negotiations, as the negotiating parties have agreed on a confidentiality clause. Therefore, Parliament and the European public are being sidelined again, damaging public trust in Europe once more. This time, it is trade interests rather than the fight against terrorism that are at issue. Do not get me wrong; the European economy must be stimulated, and intellectual property is an important aspect of this. Yet the uncertainty being created at the moment by the confidentiality of the negotiating documents has given rise to many rumours. I should like to ask how the communication works between the Commissioner for Trade and the Commissioner for Fundamental Rights in this regard. Is Commissioner De Gucht going to inform his colleagues about the substance of the agreement at any stage? Is Commissioner Reding planning, at any stage, to ask her colleague, the Trade Commissioner, to provide transparency? The European Parliament demands such transparency, and now is the time to provide it, before our institution has to endorse this trade agreement."@en1
