Is the EU introducing ACTA through the back door after the EU Parliament rejected it? - GoFuckYourself.com

The European Parliament rejected ACTA with a large majority on 4 July 2012, but just one week later the EU is accused of pushing back the rejected agreement through the back door, that is, through CETA, the EU?Canada trade agreement that includes measures similar to ACTA.

The negotiations between EU and Canada on the bilateral trade agreement CETA started in November 2009 and will probably be ended by the end of this year. Just like ACTA, the trade deal has been drafted in secret but leaked documents, dated February 2012, have shown parts of ACTA being introduced in this new agreement. CETA will also require the approval of
the European Parliament to enter into force.

MEP Nigel Farage drew the attention over the similarities between ACTA and CETA: "If the commission has a glimmer of respect for the voice of the people it would change CETA as soon as possible and stop trying to bring ACTA into legislative life by stealth. ACTA is like a Frankenstein which has been bolted together and keeps on moving. It is dangerous and must be brought to an end immediately," said Farage.

Look up IPAA that they are quietly trying to ram through in the USA. It's being called SOPA 2 and no one is making a peep about it.

I don't know anything about politics in Europe... But politics is politics, and if someone is wanting it bad enough they'll find a way to get it passed.

It's horrible really. Law is shot down, only to be brought back to life two weeks later in another way. Don't like a law? Well, just vote on it again until it gets shot down.

Trouble is here in the UK we dont get to vote on laws, there are idiots called Lords who meet in the House of Lords and they tell our goverment whether a law should be passed or not. Most Lords have never lived in the real world either
