lpv:spoken text	"ACTA is seriously flawed both in terms of process and substance, and we, as parliamentarians, can only say yes or no under the current procedure. The diplomatic negotiations of ACTA took place under a veil of secrecy. It took leaked documents for repressive mechanisms such as luggage checks at airports or the ‘3-strikes and your Internet is cut-off’ clause to be exposed and dropped. This is a crude and misguided international enforcement deal that tries to address online copyright infringements with the same legal instruments used to combat the counterfeiting of goods. Fake medicines are a matter of life and death. Threats to health and safety unquestionably require the firmest and most robust measures possible. However, applying such draconian methods to the digital world comes at an unnecessary, unacceptable and counterproductive cost in terms of privacy, technological innovation and access to knowledge. To the Commissioner and those colleagues who argue that we should wait for the European Court’s opinion, I say the following: even if the opinion deemed ACTA compatible with EU legislation, I find its process flawed enough and its substance politically unacceptable to warrant its rejection tomorrow. That is what I will do."@en1
