Polland is first EU country that adopted ACTA


After days of protests and hacker attacks, Poland has signed the controversial ACTA copyright protection treaty. Opponents call it an assault on online freedom, since it demands that internet service providers police user activity.

Warsaw’s Ambasador to Tokyo Jadwiga Rodowicz-Czechowska signed the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement in Japan on Tuesday. The treaty aims to harmonize international copyright protection standards in a number of industries from pharmaceutics to fashion.

The agreement now has to be ratified by the parliament, which is unlikely to oppose it, reports RT’s Aleksey Yaroshevsky.

“Millions of people, literally millions contacted Congress and said ‘we don’t want this, this is not what we stand for,’” he said. “Congress heard them and realized that if they follow the corporations rather then the voters, then they’ll loose their jobs. And that is what changes policy in the end.”

Polland is first EU country that adopted ACTA

Your sources are pretty bad - Poland is not first country that adopted ACTA and more precisely this act is not yet valid in Poland. Must pass the ratification process.

ACTA was signed today in Tokio by 21 countries - Japan, Belgium, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Finland, France, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Portugal, Poland, Romania, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom. ...

Signature is not made for Cyprus, Estonia, Germany, Slovakia and the Netherlands, since these countries are waiting for completion of the procedure of constitutional authority of Ambassador. They will sing this document in next few days.


This does not mean that the document is already in force! In Poland we have now a lot of ongoing manifestations against ACTA in every big city. The two major political parties are not favorable to the ratification of the document.

Yet nothing has happened so don't spread panic children.
