le parlement à suivre la recommandation.

> This is an important victory in the fight against attacks on civil
> liberties and a testament to the protests against ACTA that have taken
> place across Europe and has put real pressure on MEPs who were
> initially in support of ACTA.
>
> The International Trade committee's recommendation to reject ACTA will
> now go to a vote of the full plenary session of the Parliament in 2
> weeks time. I encourage people to continue with the protests,
> petitions, emails and phonecalls to MEPs to keep up the pressure on
> them to ensure that ACTA is rejected by the European Parliament.

> Speaking after the vote in the International Trade Commitee against

>
>
> "The vote against ACTA today is an important victory in the fight
> against attacks on our civil liberties. It was defeated in the
> international trade committee thanks to the mobilisations of tens of
> thousands of people in protests acrossEurope. Now the pressure must be
> kept up in advance of the vote on ACTA in the plenary session of the
> Parliament to ensure that this pernicious attack on internet freedoms
> driven by the major corporate interests is defeated.
>
>
> "ACTA is an agreement that was negotiated with no transparency by the
> European Commission. It is a project driven by lobbying by the
> International Chamber of Commerce to protect the intellectuarl
> property of major corporations. This comes at the expense of people's
> internet freedoms, turning Internet Service Providers into policement
> for these private corporations on the internet as well as threatening
> access to generic medicines and seeds.
>
>
> "Th agreement will now be voted on in the plenary session of the
> European Parliament in July. If there is a major mobilisation again of
> people, with protests, petitions and the continuation of the
> bombardment of MEPs with emails, ACTA can be defeated and an important
> blow struck against the big business agenda of the European Commission."
