Do you have your own translated ACTA statement, what is the status?

4) ACTA EU actions (MEP's in particular) - Proposed by Nicco

The Swedish PP MEP (Christian Engström) is fighting ACTA in a very diplomatic way by asking the commission if the ACTA negotiations are fully in line with the letter and the spirit of these provisions in the Telecoms Package:

http://christianengstrom.wordpress.com/2009/11/25/question-to-the-commission-on-acta/

How should he address the issue on a deeper level (question the lack of transparency etc.) and what other MEP's and organissations connected to EU could we use to provide a clear message?

5) ACTA outside EU - Proposed by Nicco

How are the negotioations held in countries outside EU, how can we prevent the media from being a service of the state in countries or vice versa caused through corruption like in Mexico?

7) Anti-ACTA petition - Proposed by Mikulas (PPCZ)

How many signatures do we need, 100k, 1m? What is valid in each country, digital vs. analog? If digital should we do it ourself or use a established actor such as Avaaz.org for example?
