As you are no doubt aware, within the EU institutional process, the European Commission has already passed ACTA to national governments for ratification. The Council has adopted ACTA unanimously in December and authorised Member States to sign it. The Commission has also passed on ACTA to the European Parliament for debate and a future vote.

Mai pe scurt, la stiti s-a spus ca AcTA a fost respinsa, defapt, ceea ce s-a intamplat este ca, AcTA, a fost introdusa la Curtea Europeana de Justitie pentru a se vedea daca este valida sau nu, ceea ce a pus ratificarea AcTA sub semnul intrebarii SUSPENDANDU-SE MOMENTAN ratificarea acesteia.

Apropo, ratificare inseamna ca si-au manifestat acordul ca AcTA sa fie semnata de statele membre UE, adica a confirmat fara modificari ca AcTA sa intre in vigoare. Este exact contrarul de la ceea ce se spune la stiri.

Twenty-two of the 27 EU states signed the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA) on January 26 in Tokyo.

Since then, Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Germany, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland and Romania have said they will not ratify the pact.

While the EU Commission has consistently refused to undergo an impact assessment of ACTA on fundamental freedoms, it is now scared of the growing citizen opposition to ACTA and has decided to buy time.
