EDRi har publicerat fyra dokument som belyser hur förhandlingarna har framskridit och problemen EU har haft med de amerikanska positionerna.
ACTA: European Commission negotiation failures | EDRI
De förklarar även vad kommissionen har bett om och vad man fick:
| What the EC asked for: | What the EC got: |
| Transparency | Some transparency for US companies, but nothing meaningful for European citizens and businesses. |
| Transparency | EU Presidency actively choosing not to brief EU Member States. |
| No mandatory enforcement of intellectual property law by ISPs | Mandatory obligations on states party to ACTA to encourage enforcement of intellectual property law by ISPs. |
| No change to substantive copyright law | A further complication of EU law on copyright exceptions and limitations. |
| Prioritisation of health and safety issues in international cooperation | Nothing. |
| Adequate environmental protection in the disposal of seized material | A “safeguard” which creates no change to the status quo. In essence, nothing |
| Definitions of key terms in ACTA | Nothing |
| Protection for geographical indications | Nothing |
Dokumenten visar dessutom hur kommissionen och EU-presidenten har vilselett parlamentet och EUs medborgare.
