Prije stupanja na snagu, ACTA-u treba ratificirati Evropski parlament, koji je 10. marta 2010. usvojio rezoluciju o transparentnosti pregovora, tvrdeći da mora "poštivati temeljna prava, poput prava na slobodu izražavanja i prava na privatnost".
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".
