| Commission should immediately make all documents related to the ongoing
| international negotiations on the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA)
| publicly available.

,----[ Quote ]
| We have been seeking access to documents relating to negotiations on an
| important new intellectual property enforcement treaty. The agreement,
| misleadingly named the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement, or ACTA, is
| thought to cover a wide range of intellectual property enforcement issues --
| including standards for granting injunctions for alleged infringement of
| patents or copyrights, damages, seizures of goods in transit, surveillance of
| Internet digital file transfers, searches of personal property, and a dozen
| other topics.
