"According to European Union officials, a final deal was expected within weeks."[6]

Obviously needs an update.--62.158.124.79 (talk) 18:40, 13 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

new link

Thank you for this Article on ACTA. As (correctly) stated in this Article, Switzerland is a negotiating Party. Accordingly, I would like to suggest to add an external link to the relevant Swiss website, which is the website of the Swiss Federal Institute of Intellectual Property (IPI) https://www.ige.ch/en/legal-info/legal-areas/counterfeiting-piracy/acta.html . The IPI is the competent governmental agency, its site provides for actual information on ACTA. Thank you for considering my proposal. Lena New (talk) 16:21, 15 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Trans-Pacific Agreement ?!

lifting the indefinite Semi-protection

The media attention has dropped, so it should be time to look if the protection should be lifted so unregistered and newly registered users can make contributions to the article.Belorn (talk) 05:34, 2 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

So what exactly would it do?

I didn't find any particular mention about *what* it plans to change (several countries have signed it already, so it must have been fully formulated by now). It's a threat to human rights and has sparked lots of criticism, so there should be more information on it, rather than some general info about signing and leaks. And way too much jargon. The article seems biased towards the agreement, making it look like good and noble and something every country should sign.
