Draft opinion
Short justification – Paragraph 2
Short justification – Paragraph 2
2. Notes that counterfeiting, copyright and trademark infringements are covered by ACTA thus creating a one-size-fits-all instrument of enforcement which doesn't meet the unique needs of each sector; is concerned by the lack of definition of key terminologies on which the ACTA enforcement mechanisms are based, especially regarding copyright in computer programs and their registration; fears that this creates legal uncertainty for European companies and in particular SMEs, technology users, online platform and internet service providers;
Amendment 17 #
Draft opinion
Short justification – Paragraph 3
Short justification – Paragraph 3
3. Notes that while the ambition of ACTA is to strengthen EU industries, iArt. 27 of the ACTA Agreement appears to be contrary to the ambition of the EP in the Digital Agenda to make Europe the scene for generating cutting edge internet innovation, as well as the strong ambition to promote net neutrality and access to the online digital market for SMEall users;
