lpv:translated text	"Madam President, Mr De Gucht, ladies and gentlemen, this is a political issue on which we have to decide. We in the Group of the Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats in the European Parliament have analysed the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA) very closely and carefully, and we would like to make it clear that ACTA is not a suitable instrument for guaranteeing copyright protection and preventing counterfeiting. ACTA is the wrong instrument for this and, therefore, we in the S&D Group will be voting against it. Why is that? For three reasons. Firstly, the countries which are mainly responsible for counterfeiting and disregarding copyright are not the subject of the agreement. The good have been sorted out from the bad and, in international terms, it makes absolutely no sense. Secondly, ladies and gentlemen, rules from the analogue area of counterfeiting have been transferred into the digital world and, as a result, the wrong rules are being imposed on consumers who behave differently in a digital environment. This is why we are saying that we cannot put apples and pears into a saucepan and finish up with apple sauce. The wrong things are being combined here and that is the second reason why we are opposed to ACTA. However, ladies and gentlemen, the most important reason is the third one. ACTA is putting the digital world into a straitjacket and we do not even know whether we want it, because the question of enforcing intellectual property rights on the Internet, in the digital environment, has not even been resolved within the European Union. The Commission’s presentation of its legislative proposal is overdue. How can we conclude an international agreement in this area if we have not even discussed the legislative proposal within the European Union and drafted some sensible legislation? Therefore, let us put ACTA to one side and, first of all, draw up a sensible European law. I call on the Commission to submit a legislative proposal for the European Union."@en1
