face=Arial>These contradictory remarks highlight exactly what is wrong with
treating matters of such importance and sensitivity beneath a veil of secrecy.
It appears that there is no credible way of knowing whether the negotiations
are actually concluded or not. <BR> <BR>In case the agreement has
indeed been initialled, we demand from the Commission to present the final
ACTA text to the European Parliament as soon as it is procedurally possible.
It is the Parliament that will ultimately have to decide on rejecting or
accepting the agreement, and a complete and thorough briefing of its Members
is now more urgent than ever. <BR> <BR>Accordingly, we also call on
Council and Commission not to proceed to any provisional application of the
agreement, before the European Parliament has been given the chance to express
its consent on the issue."</FONT></FONT></FONT></FONT></SPAN></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE>

<DIV>Hi,<BR><BR>a few minutes ago, the Senate of Mexico approved unanimously
an agreement to:<BR><BR>1. form a plural group of Senators to study
ACTA;<BR><BR>2. have this group call for public discussions and consultations
on ACTA;<BR><BR>3. request that the Executive suspend negotiations of ACTA
until the consultations are made.<BR><BR>We have had a small participation in
this through our constant interaction with a leading Senator and the Senate's
Science and Technology Commission, which he chairs.<BR><BR>During the session
today I made a call for a moratorium instead of an all-out all-or-nothing
motion by a group of Senators that just called for the Government to retire
from the Agreement, which was very unlikely to pass.<BR><BR>Others will be
better informed as to our degree of influence. The good thing is the real-time
news that the vote passed... and ACTA didn't.<BR><BR>Formally the Senate has
no immediate say on treaties. Like elsewhere, it is supposed to wait till it
they are signed, then ratify. However, a recent law does obligate the
Executive to inform the Senate as treaties are being negotiated. That was
grounds enough to give today's vote some teeth.<BR><BR>The story is only
beginning...<BR><BR>Yours,<BR><BR>Alx<BR><BR><BR>. . . .
