"‘Piracy’ and counterfeiting cause considerable financial loss and distress to creators and clearly need to be combatted at international level. At the same time, however, efforts to address this problem should not restrict fundamental rights, such as freedom of expression, the promotion and exchange of ideas and property rights, a position which I have repeatedly supported in the European Parliament. Bearing that in mind and the fact that the Court of Justice of the European Union has not yet considered and ruled on the compatibility of the agreement with the fundamental freedoms and rights enshrined in Union legislation and given that it was not feasible to adjourn the vote in plenary, I voted against the ACTA, so that it would come back with the necessary improvements and amendments, especially regarding protection of freedom of expression on the internet. I therefore await a ruling by the Court of Justice, once the agreement has been referred to it by the College of Commissioners, and look forward to further initiatives and proposals from the Commission to protect copyright and intellectual property."@en1
