US Trade Office Calls ACTA Back From the DeadMaira Sutton About ACTA: The Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR) posted its 2013 Trade Policy Agenda and 2012 Trade Policy Report, which covers all of its ongoing negotiations over trade agreements. It reports that the US is working with Japan and other negotiating parties to ensure that ACTA can come into force as soon as possible, and encourages Canada to meet its [ACTA] obligations. The USTRs apparent renewed confidence in ACTA is deeply concerning, especially in light of its ambitious goal to conclude the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) by the fall of this year. The TPP and ACTA are two of the USTRs main avenues for writing stronger IP enforcement into international law at the behest of Hollywood and other content industry interests.
