Before it goes into effect, ACTA still has to be ratified by the European Parliament, which adopted a resolution on March 10th 2010 on the transparency of negotiations, claiming it had to "respect fundamental rights, such as the right to freedom of expression and the right to privacy".
Prije nego što stupi na snagu, ACTA-u mora ratificirati Europski parlament, koji je 10. ožujka 2010. godine usvojio rezoluciju o transparentnosti pregovora, tvrdeći kako oni moraju "poštovati temeljna prava, kao što je pravo slobode govora i pravo na privatnost".
