Draft opinion
Paragraph 15
Paragraph 15
15. Considers that when fundamental rights are at stake ambiguity must be avoided and at the least reduced to a minimumthere shall be no place for any ambiguity; recalls that the European Court of Human Rights jurisprudence affirms that any limitation to the fundamental rights and freedoms foreseen by law must be foreseeable in its effects, clear and precise and accessible, as well as necessary in a democratic society and proportionate to the aims pursued; underlines that ACTA might create a legal basis for third countries controls and subsequent measures, notably at the borders, on Union citizens travelling outside of the Union, as well as on their properties; moreover, and without assigning any wrongful intentions ("procès d'intention") to the ACTA implementation measures, takes the view that in the current state of affairs precaution should be exercised as regards ACTA in light of the serious and remaining question-marks surrounding the balance reached within the agreement between IPRs and other core fundamental rights and its level of legal certainty.;
