Am fascinated by reactions to ACTA ECJ referral
It’s been fascinating to read the very divergent coverage of the Commission’s decision to refer ACTA text to the European Court of Justice. This seems the wisest course of action given the concerns raised about people’s freedoms.
The Commission decision to do this was both consensual and discussed in advance. Anyone suggesting otherwise is either not in possession of the facts or is misrepresenting them.
