The European Union is sending the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement, known as ACTA, to Europe’s highest court for a decision, the Associated Press reported. […]
« We are planning to ask Europe’s highest court to assess ACTA’s compatibility with the EU’s fundamental rights and freedoms, such as freedom of expression and information or that of protection, » De Gucht told reporters at a press conference, Reuters reported. […]
« No legal debate can fix ACTA or give it a legitimacy that by design it cannot have, » said Jeremie Zimmermann, co-founder of the Internet advocacy group La Quadrature du Net, according to the Huffington Post.
