CIPPIC offers DFAIT Comments on ACTA Discussions

CIPPIC today offered comments to the Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade on ACTA, the proposed Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement.  CIPPIC's comments focus on the unusual venue of discussions (which provides no room for participation by developing nations or civil society groups), the vague process (which is unusually opaque, even for trade discussions) and the danger posed by the potential substantive content of the treaty itself.
