and illegal immigration and so called employment, and the financial crisis, implies the Member of the European Parliament. He wants to educate his colleagues in Parliament about IPR.
What is the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA) really about? No, it is not about the exploited sex workers for politicians and coloured street sellers as the Member of the European Parliament implies. It is about U.S. interests. It is about the interests of the global elite.
It is about the Global Europe strategy, an approach to impose European laws on the least developed nations, and preserve the interests of the American West Coast. But of course the Austrian MEP prefers racist patterns of communication. It is the European Commission which nutures that kind of response. Chinese counterfeiters they say, steal our intellectual property from us. The Commission’s story is dear to our heart. A company was to lazy to apply for a patent in Belgium. So there was no way to stop an importer from China to obtain the good. What the Commission does not say is that this is NOT counterfeiting. Patent law is 100% territorial. When you don’t apply for a patent in Belgium, you don’t get protection on this market. Patents are for markets. Sure, the Chinese are free to grab and buy patents valid in European nations, and stifle commerce. Patents do not discriminate towards the origin of the person who applied them.
The MEP will probably continue to get paid by European tax payers for his cheap xenophobic talks just to endorse a hate crime bill the other day which restricts free speech of citizens…
