"Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, let us say this clearly: the way in which the negotiations on the Anti­Counterfeiting Trade Agreement are being carried out is unacceptable to the European Parliament. As a new colegislator on this issue, the Treaty of Lisbon now guarantees us the right to full information at the same time as it is received by the Council. The documents that have ‘leaked out’ up to now have proved to us that, as far as form is concerned, this dimension absolutely was not respected. What can be said about the content? The fool’s bargain that seems to have been offered to Internet access providers is as follows: should they decide to cooperate in the systematic monitoring of the content carried on their networks, their current non­liability for such content would be maintained. Otherwise, they would be exposing themselves to legal actions by right holders and would be systematically penalised. I find such a turnaround extremely dangerous, as it would call into question the not only on the principle of mere conduit – referred to in French as in the e­Commerce Directive, but also in relation to respect for the fundamental rights of the citizens, which was brought up recently in our debate on the Telecoms package. I will conclude by reminding you that our Chamber has already shown its attachment to these principles by rejecting the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (SWIFT) Agreement. I have no doubt about its ability to start again. Therefore, I am anxious to stress the importance of the resolution that is being debated this evening. I welcome the work of our coordinator, Mr Arif, and of all of the negotiators from the Committee on International Trade, who have ensured that the signal that the European Parliament will give tomorrow will be extremely symbolic because it is unanimous."@en1
