4. UKIP win a vote in committee in the European Parliament
UKIP Press Release on ACTA committee vote - we voted it down!
UKIP Press Release Thursday June 21, 2012 Immediate.
The INTA (International Trade) Committee's final vote on David Martin's (S&D) recommendation that the European Parliament reject ACTA was approved, with 19 votes in favour, 12 votes against, and 0 abstentions.
This means that INTA's recommendation to the European Parliament is to reject ACTA.
UKIP MEP for England South West, William Dartmouth voted to approve the Martin recommendation, thereby supporting the recommendation to the European Parliament to reject ACTA now - without waiting for the European Court of Justice to weigh in on the matter.
Syed Kamall (ECR, Tory) tabled an amendment that would have, if adopted, postponed INTA's vote on Martin's recommendation to the European Parliament until after the European Court of Justice weighed in.
William Dartmouth MEP said:
"The spirit of Kamall's amendment not only goes against the majority of citizens around Europe, who want ACTA rejected now, but it also implicitly condones the competence of - and accepts authority of - the European Court of Justice itself.
In short, Kamall's amendment to postpone the rejection of ACTA shows how out of touch the Tories are with the sentiments and views of UK constituents."
Developing countries and many international humanitarian organisations are concerned about the impact of ACTA on life saving drugs in the developing world whilst civil liberties groups insist that ACTA will weaken fundamental liberties and freedom of expression.
ACTA is bad news for internet freedom and UKIP were very happy to vote against this harmful body of law."
