==ACTA Procedure in the European Parliament==
 
Most countries negotiating ACTA have already signed it, as well as most EU Member States.<br/>
 
 
'''But ACTA still needs to be presented to the European Parliament (EP) and if the European Parliament votes NO to ACTA and rejects it, this will deal a likely fatal blow to the agreement'''.[[File:Acta-lqdn-250.jpg|right|ACTA handcuffed world]]
 
 
Before ACTA goes to vote before the whole of the European Parliament, several EP committees will be giving their opinion on the text, guiding the EP's final stance on ACTA.<br/>
 
 
This is why as citizens '''we must [[How_to_act_against_ACTA|contact]] members of these committees to make sure they hear all about what is wrong with ACTA'''.
 
 
The International Trade [https://memopol.lqdn.fr/europe/parliament/committee/INTA INTA] Committee of the European Parliament is the main committee working on ACTA.
 
 
The Industry ([https://memopol.lqdn.fr/europe/parliament/committee/ITRE/ ITRE]), Civil Liberties ([https://memopol.lqdn.fr/europe/parliament/committee/LIBE/ LIBE]), Legal Affairs ([https://memopol.lqdn.fr/europe/parliament/committee/JURI JURI]), and Development ([https://memopol.lqdn.fr/europe/parliament/committee/DEVE/ DEVE]) committees are also working on ACTA.
 
 
#They will first vote on their opinions after holding “exchange of views” on draft reports in the coming weeks.
 
#Opinions will then be sent to INTA to influence its final report.
 
#The INTA committee will then vote on its on opinion
 
#Finally, INTA will sent this final report to the European Parliament, which will take it into account for its final vote on ACTA.
 
 
'''The contents of INTA's report are therefore very important, and we need to make sure it reflects European citizens' legitimate concern about ACTA.'''
