The Foundation for a Free Information Infrastructure (FFII) has posted a letter sent July 18 by the European Parliament Committee on International Trade to the Parliament Legal Service which asks a series of questions on ACTA – What is its opinion on the legal basis for signing ACTA; how does ACTA conform with the EU Acquis (specifically in regard to border measures, the criteria for damages, and criminal measures.); how does ACTA conform with the TRIPS Agreement; and whether the Commission is obliged to publish the negotiating history.
FFII notes that the questions asked were very specific, and they overlooked the more important broad question of how ACTA may affect fundamental rights: “the request is too narrow. Concerns on fundamental rights and compliance with the Treaties are missing.”
