ACTA Wrongly Bundles Together too Many Different Types of IPR Enforcement

Civil society has been extremely vocal in recent months in raising their legitimate concerns on the ACTA agreement which we share. There are too many provisions lacking clarity and certainty as to the way they would be implemented in practice. Furthermore, ACTA wrongly bundles together too many different types of IPR enforcement under the same umbrella, treating physical goods and digital services in the same way. We believe they should be approached in separate sectoral agreements, and following a comprehensive and democratically debated mandate and impact assessment.
Guy Verhofstadt
Leader of the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats in the European Parliament. The quote is derived from the article "Liberals and Democrats reject ACTA".
