ACTA
is an international agreement on copyright and patents which
several developed countries are currently negotiating in secret.
While no official texts have been published, numerous leaked
documents indicate that the treaty would further restrict our
freedom to share and re-use knowledge. The European
Commission's DG TRADE is holding a stakeholders' consultation
meeting to inform Europeans about the state of play of the
negotiations. FSFE's President Karsten Gerloff will attend the
meeting and represent the interests of Free Software.
The event is open to the public, but registration is required.
The European Commission promises to make a web stream of the
event available.
