EU Commission on ACTA – ‘There is no Treaty’
by Drew Wilson
23 February 2010
IPTegrity is reporting that the European Commission is currently trying to avoid serious questions about transparency regarding the elusive treaty. When asked about whether European Parliamentarians will be able to have access to the text of ACTA, there was quite a remarkable answer: “we are being asked about things which do not exist yet. There is no Treaty. We cannot give what does not exist”
Iptegrity.com is the website of Dr Monica Horten. I’ve been analysing analysing digital policy since 2008. Way back then, I identified how issues around rights can influence Internet policy, and that has been a thread throughout all of my research. I hold a PhD in EU Communications Policy from the University of Westminster (2010), and a Post-graduate diploma in marketing. I’ve served as an independent expert on the Council of Europe Committee on Internet Freedoms, and was involved in a capacity building project in Moldova, Georgia, and Ukraine. I am currently (from June 2022) Policy Manager - Freedom of Expression, with the Open Rights Group. For more, see About Iptegrity
