ACTA (Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement) Should not be signed by the uk govenment
Responsible department: Department for Business, Innovation and Skills
For the past three years, ACTA has been negotiated in secret by 39 countries. But the negotiators are not democratically elected representatives. They don’t represent us, but they’re deciding laws behind our backs.
In the name of patents, ACTA would give large corporations the power to stop generic drugs before they reach the people who need them and stop the use of certain seeds for crops.
The European Parliament will soon vote on ACTA. This VOTE will be the occasion to say NO, once and for all, to this dangerous treaty. As citizens, we must URGE the govenrment to reject ACTA!!!
