ACTA is not an instrument aimed at abolishing freedom on the Internet or at criminalising Internet users. These and similar claims have been made in thousands of serial emails that I have received recently. It is instead a trade agreement that serves to protect intellectual property not only in the EU, but also in 10 other states, including the United States and Japan. I nevertheless voted against ACTA, because the copyright laws on which the agreement is based are outdated and do not take sufficient account of the development of the Internet. I am in favour of protecting intellectual property and of combating counterfeiting and piracy, as the European economy is based primarily on inventions, creativity, brand exclusivity and a technological edge and, therefore, on intellectual property. We should, however, hold a debate on the European intellectual property laws first in order to reform these. The broad discussions on ACTA have shown that this subject should be discussed in depth. I see an opportunity here to bring about a consensus through the provision of comprehensive information. If it can be made clear to people that jobs and the development of our economy are dependent on the protection of intellectual property, including and in particular on the Internet, then citizens will understand that this protection is necessary and needs to be exported to other states."@en1
