The Truth About ACTA

Earlier this week, I spoke at a hearing on ACTA at the European Parliament.  Media coverage of the talk is available here.  The slides are posted below with full audio and video to come shortly.

    I also added a few comments on the Commission negotiators role in this.

  2. @ARt, agreed. However, one thing that may have been useful is to compare ACTA against similar treaties (slide 5). I say similar because the examples given are all of UN based treaties, where UN rules apply. Since ACTA is not negotiated under UN aspices, a comparison to other multiparty, non-UN, treaties would be useful as well.
