"I abstained from the vote on the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA). I abstained because the Court of Justice of the European Union, following the European Commission’s request for a ruling on the compatibility of the agreement with the EU Treaties and citizens’ fundamental rights, has still not given a ruling. It will be between 14 and 20 months before the Court gives its ruling. I feel it is important that a body like the Court of Justice of the European Union has its say on issues that involve workers’ rights and international trade. However, I agree that adopting this kind of agreement can be important for guaranteeing innovation, creativity and for protecting European workers. The sale of counterfeit drugs or fake fashion products is unacceptable as they create disadvantages and unfair competition for businesses in the sector as well as being hazardous to citizens’ safety, since they are often produced with materials and production techniques that do not comply with European safety standards."@en1
