[107900]
- Answer
-
The final Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA) text has been reviewed by Government lawyers from the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills and the European Commission Legal Services who confirm that ACTA will not create new intellectual property rights, laws or criminal offences in the UK or EU. As such, the agreement does not affect current internet freedoms.
