[ComputerWorld] Doubts linger over ACTA compatibilty with European Union law

Posted on


European parliamentarians in the legal affairs committee have once again cast doubt on the efficacy of the controversial ACTA agreement, but stopped short of declaring it illegal.

French Member of the European Parliament (MEP) Françoise Castex said on Monday that she was not sure if the matter needed to go to the European Court of Justice and that the legal department of the Parliament would address the matter.

« Apparently, Caspary is not on top of the dossier. European academics concluded ACTA is not compatible with current E.U. legislation, this is confirmed in the International Trade Committee commissioned study on ACTA, » said the FFII’s Ante Wessels.
