"I have spoken in Parliament about the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA) on several occasions, primarily to condemn the lack of transparency in the negotiations, and thus the Commission’s methods, which indeed it often uses when negotiating international agreements that are harmful for European nations. I will, of course, vote against this agreement, but it has not been the only attempt at European level to quash the freedom of the Internet, under the guise of respect for intellectual property rights or the fight against cybercrime. In the first case, we give in to certain industrial lobbies that are fond of their excessive profits, and in the second, we confuse real crimes (terrorism, human trafficking, paedophilia) with downloading some mp3 files. These persistent attacks on the Internet, the last place where we have freedom of expression and information on this continent, is not just suspect; it is symptomatic of the Soviet-style aspect of the Europe of Brussels, which seeks to control not only our food and our behaviour, but also our thoughts and our opinions."@en1
