ACTA

What is ACTA?

Behind closed doors the EU, US and Japan negotiate an Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA). According to the European Commission's website, a "path breaking" agreement is foreseen. For this reason the Commission likes to work outside the normal formal structures.

ACTA workgroup description

The FFII does not have an ACTA workgroup. For the time being, the IPRED2 workgroup addresses ACTA.

The goal of this workgroup is to make ACTA known to the public, provide analysis and to influence the political decision process.
