Diario ti: The ACTA project has prompted strong reactions condemning popular in Europe, especially among young people. In parallel, 22 countries have signed the agreement under international anti-counterfeiting.
During a press conference on 22 February, the European Trade Commissioner Karel de Gucht said he understood people's concerns about freedom of expression online. In this context it should be remembered that the human rights organization Amnesty International called on the European Union to reject the ACT, arguing that "the implementation of the agreement could open a Pandora's box of potential human rights violations."
De Gucht stressed that the debate should be based on facts, not on what he called "misunderstandings
and rumors in social media and blogs ".
The ACTA is the subject of intensive discussion and debate within the EU. Justice Commissioner and Vice President of the European Commission, Viviane Redding, is one of the officers a clearer Community has spoken on the subject: "For me, blocking the Internet is not an alternative. We must find new methods, most modern and effective intellectual property protection at the same time that we safeguard the technological development and Internet freedom, "said Redding in a statement (PDF in English)
If the EU decides that ACTA violates the "Community constitution," the independent firms of the 22 signatory countries would be invalid in the sense that the agreement not be ratified by each country in an independent capacity.
This situation, therefore, could jeopardize the entire international ACTA.
