EU suspends copyright treaty ratification
http://j.mp/wlBZcw (AP / Santa Maria Times)
"The European Commission, facing opposition in city streets, on the
Internet and in the halls of parliament, has suspended efforts to
ratify a new international anti-counterfeiting agreement, and instead
will refer it to Europe's highest court to see whether it violates any
fundamental EU rights. EU Trade Commissioner Karel De Gucht asserted
Wednesday that an opinion from the European Court of Justice would
clear away the fog of misinformation surrounding the
Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement, known as ACTA."
