Resistance against the ACTA Convention as it provokes the German economy

Numerous politicians are speaking out against the ACTA Convention, and that already several weeks before the voting takes place in the European Parliament. Trade associations and industry take a stance against the latter, and disapprove of withdrawing from the Anti-Piracy Convention. Dr. Holger Gauss, Attorney-at-Law specializing in Industrial Property, agrees with the stance taken by the industry, and considers ACTA a major milestone in combating product piracy. In his opinion, ACTA ensures that prosecution can be effected more quickly in transit countries.
