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".
Pre nego što stupi na snagu, sporazum ACTA mora da ratifikuje Evropski parlament, koji je 10. marta 2010. godine usvojio rezoluciju o transparentnosti pregovora, naglašavajući da moraju da se „poštuju osnovna prava, kao što je pravo slobode izražavanja i pravo na privatnost“.
