<br>
The parliament (plenary) "asks" the minister, this is not binding.<br>
<br>
It does put pressure on the minister. Normally, the groups supporting the<br>
government, vote for government proposals.<br>
<br>
We have a special situation in NL at the moment, a minority government. They<br>
<br>
normally do have a majority, since one parliamentary group supports the<br>
government (while not having any minister). This group, the PVV, yesterday<br>
voted for the resolution.<br>
<br>
The minister may decide to sign ACTA regardless of the adopted resolution.<br>
But<br>
then the parliament may more easily decide to not ratify ACTA. The minister<br>
can not blame the parliament, and especially the PVV, to be disloyal, since<br>
then he was disloyal to parliament himself when he signed ACTA.<br>
<br>
vriendelijke groet,<br>
cordialmente,<br>
