"The ACTA agreement is another attempt to introduce surveillance over European society, to gag people and to reduce freedom. I do not agree with the clauses it contains. I believe that they are an attempt to regulate our everyday lives that goes much too far. In Article 27.4, the ACTA imposes on Internet providers the obligation to block the accounts of persons breaching the provisions of the agreement and to hand over details of these persons to the police. Similar provisions appear in Article 23.1, where the term ‘commercial’, which has not been defined earlier, is used. We cannot allow such a wide-ranging agreement that restricts people’s rights to such a great extent to come into force. Similarly, I disagree with the argument concerning combating counterfeit goods. The main sources of these today are China, India and Pakistan. The irony is that these countries have not subscribed to the ACTA. For this reason, I voted today in favour of Internet freedom, I voted to uphold the freedom of speech of European citizens and I voted against the ACTA. Five parliamentary committees came to unfavourable conclusions about the agreement and today this overwhelming majority against it is not just a confirmation of those earlier decisions but also marks the total failure of the agreement."@en1
