"I voted against this useless and dangerous text, whose only worth is that it has instigated pan-European debate and highlighted the democratic checks in place in Europe to tackle the relentless lobbying of some of the large multinationals. Today, not only have we voted against the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA), we have actually voted for European democracy. Showing little regard for the EU’s Treaties, citizens and democratic principles, the Commission has been negotiating the ACTA behind Parliament’s back since 2007. The exploitation of the Court of Justice of the European Union is just the latest blatant disregard for the democratic balance which we at the European Parliament uphold. The European Commissioner for Trade, Karel De Gucht, must now take responsibility, responsibility for his failings, his words and his method of working."@en1
