The European Parliament’s INTA committee, the lead committee studying the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement, has 
voted to reject ACTA. The 19-12 vote against the agreement means that 
all five EP committees that studied ACTA voted against ratification. I 
appeared before the INTA committee’s workshop on ACTA earlier this year and submitted a commissioned report recommending rejection. A final vote in the full European Parliament plenary will be held on July 4th.
