As ACTA support falters, treaty referred to European court

[p2p rules]

The prospects for quick European approval of the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement dimmed Wednesday as the European Commission, the EU's executive branch, announced plans to seek an opinion from the European Court of Justice about ACTA's constitutionality.

In a statement, Viviane Reding, the EU Commissioner for Justice, Fundamental Rights, and Citizenship, reiterated her commitment to "a freely accessible Internet" and "freedom of expression and freedom of information via the Internet." She said the EC has decided to ask the ECJ for an opinion to "clarify that the ACTA agreement and its implementation must be fully compatible with freedom of expression and freedom of the Internet."
