The Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA) will be discussed in public in the European Parliament Committee for International Trade for the first time on 29 February. It is this committee which will make a formal recommendation to the full house on whether or not to approve ACTA. Parliament cannot amend the agreement, but only approve or reject it. If it does not give its consent, then the agreement falls as far as the EU is concerned.
