EU also seeking new ACTA
Following on from the announcement of the USA’s plans to pursue an Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA) with its trade partners, the European Commission has declared that it also hopes to negotiate a major new international anti-counterfeiting pact.
The European Commission will seek a mandate from European Member States to negotiate a new ACTA with major trading partners including the USA, Japan, Korea, Mexico and New Zealand, designed to strengthen efforts to protect European intellectual property around the world.
