lpv:translated text	"At lunchtime today in Strasbourg, the Members of the European Parliament rejected the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA) by a large majority of 478 votes to 39. The death of this anti-freedom and highly toxic Agreement is a victory of democracy over the lobbies, of truth over manipulation. It is the last nail in ACTA’s coffin: ‘ !’ It made no sense to sign an international agreement on counterfeiting that did not include China or India: it would be like countries with no access to the sea signing a maritime agreement. Finally, it was unacceptable to support a vague Agreement from which the authors deliberately excluded all democratic bodies and thus the citizens of Europe, too. From that point of view, this issue will have had the benefit of highlighting the European Parliament’s crucial role in defending citizens’ interests. However, it is important to note that, although it gave the wrong answers, ACTA asked the right questions. On the one hand, we now need to work on reforming EU laws to combat this scourge of counterfeiting, which harms consumers, the economy and job creation. On the other hand, we need to update the legislation on intellectual property."@en1
