Netherlands Pre-Warns EU Parliament That It Will Not Accept ACTA | Techdirt
With critical votes in the EU Parliament on ACTA quickly approaching,
the Dutch House of Representatives decided to take a pre-emptive strike,
and unanimously accept a motion
that urged the Cabinet to reject ACTA, while also rejecting "any future
treaty that may harm a free and open Internet." Of course, this is the
same Netherlands whose courts are currently censoring
a local political party for setting up an internet proxy, so it appears
there's at least some confusion in that country. Either way, it's nice
to see this pre-emptive strike, though it's not clear how much power
the Dutch government would have to reject ACTA if the EU Parliament
accepted it...
