"A question remains over the content of the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA). The main aim of this agreement, which has been negotiated for years in the utmost secrecy between 10 or so countries, is to combat counterfeiting and to protect intellectual property rights. Nonetheless, it should be noted that neither China nor Brazil nor India has participated in these negotiations. Furthermore, while counterfeiting must be combated, the well-known provisions in the treaty in question imply the establishment of measures that might be considered to be attacks on individual freedoms: supervision of Internet access providers, strengthening of border controls, and greater difficulties in transporting low cost generic medicines to developing countries. These are all concerns that have been relayed by many MEPs, who do not wish to place ‘blind’ confidence in the negotiations conducted by the European Commission. The resolution, which was adopted by a slim majority – and only just – cannot actually be regarded as support, as doubts remain over whether the text complies with the
and whether it is compatible with respect for fundamental rights."@en1
