"In Europe, creation, research and innovation are being held back. A major factor in promoting growth is restoring confidence among all of the parties concerned and, in that respect, it is obviously vital to protect intellectual property rights. However, the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (a trade agreement negotiated by the EU and its Member States, the United States, Australia, Canada, Japan, Mexico, Morocco, New Zealand, Singapore, South Korea and Switzerland to improve the implementation of anti-counterfeiting laws at global level) is not the solution. This Agreement was drawn up outside the multilateral bodies such as the WTO and the supposed counterfeiting countries are not party to it (85% of goods that infringe intellectual property rights come from China and it is not a signatory). Moreover, there are many ambiguities in the definitions in the text, which leads us to fear that respect for privacy and protection of personal data are not guaranteed, and that is unacceptable. These are the reasons why I refused to support the conclusion of this Agreement. I am pleased that, following Parliament’s rejection, neither the EU nor any of its Member States will be able to sign up to the Agreement."@en1
