ACTA workshop in the European Parliament

Parliament just started working on ACTA. Apart from committees meeting this week, EP organized a workshop opened and web streamed for the public. Here are the highlights:

  2. Discussion on the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA) in the International Trade Committee started Wednesday. Parliament will need to decide whether or not to approve the agreement. On Tuesday a petition against ACTA was handed to the Petitions Committee, and on 1 March a public workshop with experts and bloggers looked at issues such as ACTA's potential impact on civil liberties.

    At #ACTA workshop in EP. Twice as much time for pro-ACTA speakers than critical ones.

    #DeGucht: #ACTA will not require, mandate, etc etc. (does not take account of 'could' 'may') #ACTA #ACTAws

    De Gucht seriously hopes that other countries join #acta - although India, China, Equador, Mexico... harshly criticised the agreement.

    De Gucht done reassuring the public about #ACTA. Strangely enough, I don't feel reassured at all.

    Commissioner De Gucht has once again compared downloading to a theft "in the real world"... I wonder if ha has ever met a teen-ager. #ACTA
