We were expecting it; last week on Thursday the Commission was
scheduled to take a decision; there was an ad hoc campaign to call
on the Commissioners to make sure we understand that this is a way
for them to avoid taking decision. I personally talked to some of
the Bulgarian commissioner' staffers, and we have organized tens
of emails and phone calls sent. <br>

Now, the more important question is what <b>exactly</b> has the
Commission asked the ECJ. A very narrow question might be a free
pass for ACTA to go ahead.<br>
