Next ACTA Meeting 16-17 July In Morocco

The closely held date of the next negotiating meeting on the Anti-Counterfeit Trade Agreement (ACTA) is 16-17 July in Morocco, according to an official source. The ACTA negotiation has roiled activists and others for being conducted mostly in secret with little non-industry public input. This is the first negotiating session on the US-led treaty since the Obama administration took office in January (IPW, Enforcement 12 June 2009, IPW, Enforcement, 22 April 2009, IPW, Enforcement, 22 April 2009).
