"Mr President, tomorrow, Parliament should reject the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA). This is good news for democracy, because it sanctions a negotiation process which has chosen confidentiality and opacity over transparency and the involvement of Parliament. I know that it is not your fault, Commissioner. This is good news for democracy, because Parliament will choose culture, agriculture, health and communication over large industrial groups. I am shocked to hear that certain Members of the Group of the European People’s Party (Christian Democrats) believe that the general interest is that of large industrial groups and not that of citizens when they become involved in a social issue. This is good news for democracy, because millions of citizens have taken to the streets and have held a large-scale social debate, and I am happy that some MEPs in this Chamber have changed their minds in favour of democracy. Lastly, this is good news for democracy, because we will finally have, within our European societies, a debate on the balance between public freedom and information sharing, on the one hand, and fair remuneration for creativity and innovation, on the other."@en1
