Swedish MEP Christian Engström reports
that the European Parliament has passed a
resolution coming out against the secretive ACTA copyright treaty
negotiations and demanding transparency in the process. The vote was
rather definitive: 633 for, 13 against. “At last, the elected
representatives in the parliament have sent a strong message. We have shown
that we do not accept secrecy. We have shown that we are prepared to stand
up for a free internet open to everybody.”
